From found footage outings to Halloween horrors and black-and-white classics, the horror genre's best anthology movies offer a grab bag of goodies.
While there are many good horror anthology movies, only a select number of them could be called the best of all time. The horror anthology movie is a tricky beast. Not only does an anthology movie need to offer viewers not one, not two, but three or more compelling horror stories, but it also has to have an engaging framing device. Often, horror anthology movies contain one or two interesting segments, only to be let down by a lackluster framing narrative or closing story.
9 Tales From The Crypt The original 1972 Tales from the Crypt movie is surprisingly unsettling and more grounded than its later TV incarnation. However, this cult classic also has a campy fun side. Before the Cryptkeeper was tormenting TV viewers with tortured puns, his more reserved British iteration brought together a group of strangers in an underground crypt and told them the gruesome stories of their own impending deaths.
6 Black Sabbath Director Mario Bava’s vibrant Italian horror Black Sabbath helped lay the blueprint for Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento’s signature styles, even if this anthology horror film is a little less gore-forward than their most famous efforts. That said, Black Sabbath still packs a punch.
