Here’s a list with almost 200 public domain horror movies

I’ve seen a lot of the movies on this list and here are some of the best ones.  Also, I just wanna note that some of the movies listed on here are not actually in the public domain so if I skip over an especially good one like The Mummies Hand that’s why.  Also, most public domain horror movies are pretty awful so your standard of good might be very different than mine.  These ones I consider to be at least the most watchable for more of a general audience. I like lots of the bad ones too. 😛

Silent movies – Nosferatu, (recommend that everyone sees this at least once) Phantom of the Opera, Haxan (more of a creepy documentary with cool imagery)  

“Famous Classic horror films”

House of Haunted Hill, (Vincent Price in a great haunted house flick), The Last Man on Earth, (Vincent Price again in the best adaptation of I Am Legend committed to film) Night of The Living Dead, (nuff said) and they have Plan 9 from outer space listed there which is not at all scary but really fun to watch.

10′s – 30′s

White Zombie, (Lugosi in his prime!) The Vampire Bat

40s-50s

The Devil Bat, (More Lugosi!) I Bury The Living, (pretend the ending doesn’t happen) The Manster, (wtf) Terror is a Man, (I actually really like this one)  Note –  I’m a big fan of Poverty Row horror but I can’t recommend them to everyone.  They’re still really interesting and a guilty pleasure, so if you want check out The Ape Man, Bowery at Midnight, The Ape and King of The Zombies.

60′s – 70′s

Spider Baby, (strongly recommended!) Horror Express, (Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing!) Horror Hotel, (Christopher Lee again) 13 Ghosts, Werewolf in a Girl’s Dormitory, (ok so it’s cheesy but fun imo) Nightmare Castle, (gothic euro horror not for everyone but I like it) La figila di Frankenstein aka Lady Frankenstein, (more gothic euro horror this one with lots of blood, sleaze and monster action!)

I’ve seen waaaaaaay too many of these movies.
