The Best Horror Movies of 2024: Episode 192

Well, that was fun! The Scariest Things presents to you the Best Horror Movies of 2024. Though it started slow, the year managed to pack in quite a few worthy films.

There were a few standouts most of us agreed to, but to find out, you’ll have to listen to the podcast!

The best horror movies of 2024

If you enjoy a good horror debate, listen to Episode 192. Some of us thought the year was full of good horror movies, and others of us found the year wanting. The best part is that you get a nice long podcast, so prepare for a raucous discussion this year. Several movies were in one person’s top ten and someone else’s bottom 10. You get big studio hits, independent films, foreign offerings, and some Oscar-worthy films as well. There were a few films that were wholly unique this year.

Oddity. Cuckoo. Stopmotion. I Saw the TV Glow. Longlegs. Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Human. The Substance. You have never seen movies like these before. Original concepts abound in the horror selections of 2024.

Heather Alexander, our newest critic, joins the party. Having one more voice adds so much life to the discussion, with a fresh perspective. So, if you want to validate your movie impressions from last year or if you want to find some under-the-radar picks to watch, give this a listen. I’m sure you will find something that fits your taste in horror. Between the six of us, we had 36 films included in the top 10 rankings. Great variety! Once again, Joseph Perry provided some of the most obscure films for your viewing, should you think you’ve seen everything else.

Note: Nosferatu had not been released at the time of the recording. Eric managed to get it into his top 10, but don’t take the fact that it didn’t make the discussion as a slight to a tremendous picture.
