With an average IMDb score of 6.3 from over 7 horror movies released in 1957 you could say it was actually a pretty good year for horror movies. Sure there were some duds (The Cyclops, Attack of the Crab Monsters), but we also got some real gems like Curse of the Demon (1957) and The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) to name just a few. As horror fans we've come to expect a wide ranging degree of quality from our vice but in 1957 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 1957 - Top 5 Horror Movies ranked by Metacritic.
