When it comes to the horror genre, the first things that usually pop into people’s minds are either scares or gore or shock factor etc. When you think about fight scenes, the mind usually goes straight into the action genre. However, horror films can also bring us some well choreographed battles! This post focuses on the best and most memorable fight scenes in the genre. For this series, I’m only including fights that have give and take, because let’s face it, one-sided fights aren’t as fun. This is just part 1, so if you don’t see your favorite fight here, that doesn’t mean you won’t in the future! Also, a lot of these are final fights so I’m issuing a MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!!
