50 Movies and Counting...

We, here at TOO SCARY 2 WATCH have compiled a list of 50's horror films (arranged by year) that we believe may be worth checking out, for avid horror fans who love classic scary movies like we do. The "incomplete" list will continue to be modified and updated as we continue to find more movies that we've overlooked, or feel are worthy of adding. 

Mad Scientists, Monsters, Alien Invasions, Haunted Houses and more ...

It can be argued whether some of the movies on the list actually belong in the horror genre (especially considering the fact that there appeared to be a thin line between sci-fi , action and horror as far as the fifties were concerned) ... nevertheless, with versatility in mind, we've done our best to include some that are cult classics, some that are horror comedies, some that are hammer films, some that are sci-fi action horror, some that are psychological thrillers, along with others that may be open for interpretation.
________________________________________________________________________
Disclaimer

Not all of the movies on the list, in our opinion, are good movies, but were chosen to be included for a variety of different reasons. -- Some are staple horror films of the fifties, some are popular horror films of the fifties, some are cult films, some have greatly influenced horror movies of the modern era, while others were films that went on to be remade decades later.

Thanks and enjoy!
