The 5 Best Films to Watch to Learn About Horror Filmmaking (Part 2)
As you've probably already read Part 1, you will know about what's going to happen in Part 2. If you don't, then here's a bit of a recap: we're going to go through 5 films you should watch to study horror filmmaking and make a quick little summary on what to look out for and why that film is particularly good to watch for study purposes. In the previous section you would've noticed films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre of 1974 turn up alongside Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. So, in this second part, we're going to take a bit of a different approach and have a look at some slightly stranger horror films, hopefully you will be familiar with nearly all of them.

The 5 Best Films to Watch to Learn About Horror Filmmaking (Part 1)
I am back with another article on horror filmmaking, and I have to say I have spent a while trying to choose the correct films to put on this list. There are certain films that I would say you can learn more from than you initially bargained, and then there are some that I would steer clear from because they offer up some dodgy practices that you can see didn't make the film entirely successful. But this isn't just about success, this is about learning and shaping your craft into something. So what we're going to do is look at some horror films that you can learn the most from in order to craft and create your own masterpiece. Good luck with your next project and take a look at these, in no particular order:
