The Best Horror Films of 2012

2012 was a terrifying year at the multiplex, and we mean that in a good way. Though there were still plenty of obligatory vampires and forced found-footage films, moviegoers felt a breath of fresh air pump through the proverbial lungs of the horror genre with new perspectives on classic premises that provided some truly thrilling moments.

We're sure that this month's big horror flick, LD Entertainment's "The Collection," a follow up to 2009's "The Collector" from the writers of "Saw IV-VII" which finds protagonist Arkin (Josh Stewart) coerced into teaming up with mercenaries to track down The Collector's booby trapped warehouse and save the beautiful Elena (Emma Fitzpatrick), will round out a sterling year of Hollywood horror. In honor of that movie's impending release on November 30, take a look back at the Best Horror Films of 2012 in the following slides!
