So recently I discovered the Shockwaves Podcast, a weekly shows about horror and things going on in the world of media horror with a principle focus on film. Near the end of last month they did a show looking back on what they felt were the 10 best horror movies of the 2010s. Now since there were 4 hosts and each had their own top ten list that was a potential 40 films. Given that they did not coordinate their lists there were duplicates so I think the total come sin closed to the top 26 horror film in their opinions. They did not publish the listings in the show notes and so I had to compile it myself so I cannot attribute the listing to the host that gave them, but here’s their opinion.

The only list I can positively identify is the 4th and final entry in each column which are the selections by Dr Rebekah McKendry. As the only woman on the podcast her voice was easy to track. I have seen several of these films and agree with some of the listings. Entries in bold I have seen both Bold and Italics I own. The rest I have more to track down and watch.
