HORIZON MAGAZINE SPRING 2020
Over the decades, the genre of horror has created a monumental amount of new films, some masterpieces and others, well ... let's say you would rather gouge your own eyes out before watching it again. Then there are those films that show enough of a realm of creativity to become a cult classic. Each one of these films has earned a rightful spot on this list and deserves a chance to be watched with some popcorn.   This list could go on and on, but these 10 films each have their unique qualifications as a cult classic. One thing they all have in common is the ability to tell a story you will soon not forget.
1. "Freaks" 1931 Real sideshow performers star in Tod Browning's infamous cult classic. Trapeze artist Cleopatra plans to wed and then murder the dwarf Hans for his fortune. However, when Hans’ fellow 'freaks' discover her scheme, she becomes the target of their horrifying vengeance. This is one of the most powerful films ever made about the need for humanity and solidarity in the face of cruelty and oppression.

2. "The Evil Dead" 1981 The beginning of the movie repeats the vulgar premise of an abandoned house visited by some naive young people. What it lacks in narrative weight, it compensates for with a relentless pace, disturbing atmosphere and some imaginative displays of dismemberment. It's a truly unforgettable film by Sam Raimi.
