With an average IMDb score of 6.7 from over 15 horror movies released in 1963 you could say it was actually a pretty good year for horror movies. Sure there were some duds (Blood Feast, The Day of the Triffids), but we also got some real gems like The Birds (1963) and The Haunting (1963) to name just a few. As horror fans we've come to expect a wide ranging degree of quality from our vice but in 1963 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 1963 - Top 5 Horror Movies ranked by Metacritic.
