A few years back, Rue Morgue magazine released a list of 100 Alternative Horror Films, each entry chosen for both its quality as a genre picture and the fact that it is rarely seen on other horror lists. I'm not trying to step on any copyrighted toes, so what follows is just the list of titles chosen. If you want to see the reasoning behind those choices or learn more about the films, you can read the original article at the Rue Morgue website by clicking HERE.
I've included Netflix links to the titles when available, and will attempt to include Amazon links at a later date.
