With an average IMDb score of 6.7 from over 4 horror movies released in 1953 you could say it was actually a pretty good year for horror movies. Sure there were some duds (Invaders from Mars, It Came from Outer Space), but we also got some real gems like House of Wax (1953) and The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953) to name just a few. As horror fans we've come to expect a wide ranging degree of quality from our vice but in 1953 we did pretty good.So grab some snacks and a drink (and maybe something to hide behind) and check out reviews, ratings and trailers for the 1953 - Top 10 Horror Movies ranked by Metacritic.
