No matter which way you slice it, 2017 has been a phenomenal year for horror movies. There's always bound to be a big box office horror hit or two in any given year, but largely thanks to the unprecedented success of Andy Muschietti's IT, 2017 trampled previous records to become the biggest year for horror in movie history. Numbers aside, horror films have thrived with critics in 2017, and the critical darling of them all, Jordan Peele's lauded Get Out, is poised to make it all the way to the Oscars -- an incredibly rare feat for any horror film, not to mention one that hit theaters way back in February. And that's just the big name stuff. VOD, Netflix, all other manner of non-traditional release platforms offered up an even greater number of outstanding films for the genre enthusiast.
