10 Scariest Movies Where No One Dies

10. Freaks

Filmed prior to the creation of the Hays Code, the famously Draconian institution of American censorship which moralised cinema into oblivion for a few decades, Todd Browning's Freaks is a film which couldn't have been made only a few years after its release.

Banned in many territories over the years, the film follows a revenge plot enacted by the titular freakshow performers, and manages to humanize its characters far more than many early Hollywood horrors (and arguably grants them more agency and humanity even than many modern movies).

This controversial early horror is still terrifying at times, particularly the fate of its two central villains, but nonetheless it doesn’t include actually include any onscreen death... despite the best attempts of the aforementioned vile villains.
