TITLES of MODERN HORROR (4,112+)

This has everything you could ever hope to find(or avoid at all costs!) in horror both good and bad in the last 20+years(and about 500 pre-1994 films) I put it in a list to make it easier to pick sort through(use filters on the right they are extremely helpful). I have actually seen all of these or in many cases saw enough of them to know when it's time to pull the plug, but they are easily filtered away. There are some short films as well as TV shows(no episodes except Masters of Horror) listed, again easily filtered out if you like. List will update often and is in no logical order.
