With an average IMDb score of 6.9 from over 5 horror movies released in 1956 you could say it was actually a pretty good year for horror movies. Sure there were some duds (X the Unknown, Rodan), but we also got some real gems like Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and The Bad Seed (1956) to name just a few. As horror fans we've come to expect a wide ranging degree of quality from our vice but in 1956 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 1956 - Top 20 Horror Movies ranked by Amazon.
