If it’s January, you know it’s time for our Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025. You might think there is a group consensus, in a year that had so many good horror movies… but you’d be wrong! The best part of having a great sampler platter of movies to pick from is that there is something for everybody. This year, the box office and the awards programs agree, 2025 had a lot to offer.

This was a year full of original story ideas, and, for a change, they were represented in both studio films and indies. Plus, the sequels and reboots this year proved to be both profitable and refreshing (for the most part). What you all may enjoy the most are the movies that split the critics.

There are several movies on our respective lists that are very divisive, and you know what? That’s the best part of these episodes. Here’s the best part: you get to hear us argue the merits and flaws of these films, and you can decide for yourself whether it’s worth watching. If you are visiting our site for the first time, we have three posts that also describe our selections: Eric’s List, Mike’s List, and Robert’s List.

Eric’s list has a full ranking of ALL 100+ films that he saw. But, that’s not the most movies digested in 2025, as Heather has seen over 120! That’s a good sample size, folks! We, who love horror movies, watched a lot of them last year. The best news is that, given that these movies hauled in the cash train, horror movies are going to get more attention.
