- Using a combination of critical acclaim, impact, and personal bias, I've constructed a list of what I might consider the best anthology horror films. For those who don't know, this involves horror movies that are segmented with several stories, often with a wraparound to connect them.

We can’t say with absolute certainty that 1945’s Dead of Night was the first film to ever combine a few loosely connected horror stories into an anthology format, but we are willing to say the following: The film that (maybe) did it first, actually did it best.
- Kwaidan (1965) Director: Masaki Kobayashi. Ghost stories don’t get much more gorgeous than the four in Masaki Kobayashi’s sprawling Kwaidan. Between two acerbically political and widely lauded samurai epics, Hara-kiri (1962) and Samurai Rebellion (1967), Kobayashi led what was then Japan’s most expensive cinematic production ever, an anthology film with its parts loosely connected by Lafcadio Hearn’s collection of Japanese folk tales and Kobayashi’s intuitive penchant for surreal, sweepingly lush sets.

- Creepshow (1982) Director: George A. Romero. With George Romero directing every segment, Creepshow maintains a remarkable thematic and visual consistency.

- Kwaidan (1965) Kwaidan is not a frightening film. Its images, however, will return to haunt you, again and again. Over its epic three hours, experiencing Masaki Kobayashi’s quartet of folk tales is like a long, slow transfusion of ice-cold blood.
- Dead of Night (1945) Film. Horror. Strangers gather at a country cottage, each with an uncanny tale to tell. Ealing horror Dead of Night helped establish the anthology template cloned countless times since.
- Creepshow (1982) Film. Horror. A longtime rite of passage for teenagers in search of transgressive shocks, Creepshow comes across quite a bit sillier seen through adult eyes, but it’s still a damn lot of fun decades down the road.
Oct 11, 2023 · From found footage outings to Halloween horrors and black-and-white classics, the horror genre's best anthology movies offer a grab bag of goodies.
Oct 8, 2023 · Whether looking for something more seamless in its storytelling like Ghost Stories and Southbound, or something a bit more experimental and absurd like The ABCs of Death and Holidays, these must-see horror movie anthologies -- consistent or not -- are worth the watch.
