Who doesn’t love a good plot twist?!
I love a great ending and when it’s a surprising plot twist that shocks you it can be even better.
SPOILER ALERT!!!

So here it is, my list of my top ten Horror Endings (the list is not in a favouritism order):
So here it is, my list of my top ten Horror Endings (the list is not in a favouritism order):
 |
| Invasion Of The Body Snatchers |
I still get goosebumps at this films ending, it’s such a good finish to a tension filled feature.
 |
| Eden Lake When this British Horror was released it shocked audiences with it’s ending, it’s still talked about today.
|
 |
| The Descent |
This films twist ending messed with us all, it certainly had me going along with it.
 |
| SAW |
The feature that had people talking all round the world, not only for it’s graphic nature but an ending that had jaws around the world hitting the floor.
 |
| Orphan I’ll never forget watching this film with a group of friends and when it had the big reveal there were audible gasps of shock.
|
 |
| Psycho |
The original film that taught me that not is all as it seems, it’s a twist ending that has entered pop culture and is still a talking point.
 |
| The Mist |
This movie featured a twist so good that even Stephen King stated he’d wished he thought of it first, that’s how crazy it was.
 |
| Friday The 13th (1980) |
A franchise known for Horror icon ‘Jason Voorhees’ yet it all started with his mother, I honestly thought it was ‘Ralph’ all along.
 |
| Sleepaway Camp |
Still one of my favourite endings, it’s still talked about amongst Horror fans today and for good reason, it’s a twist that will stick with you.
 |
| April Fool’s Day |
A divisive ending amongst some but personally I thought it was great and slotted in well with the Slasher sub genre.
Honourable Mentions:
- The Orphanage
- Don’t Look Now
- The Innocents
- Carnival of Souls
- Burnt Offerings
- The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari
- Angel Heart
