Bloody Good Horrors top 23 Horror Movies of 2018

Bloody Good Horror is my absolute favorite horror movie website. Its a site with several writers who review and discuss both new and classic horror movies. Every year each writer submits a list of their top 10 horror movies of the year, and then I take those lists and create my own comprehensive list from theirs. a 10th place vote gets 1 point, 9th place gets 2 points and so on. One amazing thing about this years list is that the top 3 are all "mainstream" horror movies, which is incredibly rare. These are horror snobs who usually prefer the artsy horror movies that arent super popular, for example last years number one of the year was "The Witch." Anyway here it is, the top 23 horror movies of the year.
