100th List Special! A List Category Directory
List #100!
Lists consistently make up the majority of the most popular posts here at The Slasher Shack. They are the most challenging and time consuming posts for me to write, but they’re also the most fun!
Now that we’re hitting triple digits, it’s time to compile a directory of the most common types. That’s right – this is a list of lists! Many of my list posts are esoteric one-offs like dog horror movies and goblin horror movies, but there are several categories that have appeared repeatedly.
Here are five such categories listed in alphabetical order. If you want to find all my holiday lists or franchise ranking in one place, you’re in luck! Some lists appear multiple times because they fit in more than one category.
Best of the Year
Each year since 2022, I’ve ranked my top ten favorite movies of the year.
