The 1. 00 Greatest Horror Films of All Time Feature. The common claim of the horror film is that it allows us to vicariously play with our fear of death. Inarguable, really, but thats also too easy, as one doesnt have to look too far into a genre often preoccupied with offering simulations of death to conclude that the genre in question is about death. Thats akin to saying that all an apple ever really symbolizes is an apple, and that symbols and subtexts essentially dont exist. A more interesting question Why do we flock to films that revel in what is, in all likelihood, our greatest fear And why is death our greatest fear A startling commonality emerges if you look over the following films in short succession thats revelatory of the entire horror genre These works arent about the fear of dying, but the fear of dying alone, a subtlety that cuts to the bone of our fear of death anywayof a life unlived.

So many films, particularly American, tell us that we can be whatever we want to be, and that people who dont achieve their desired self actualization are freaks. The horror film says Wait Jack, it aint that easy. This genre resents platitude you can count the happy endings among these films on one hand, but the good horror film usually isnt cynical, as it insists on the humanity thats inextinguishable even by severe atrocity.
