Ranking What Was Really The Best Horror Movie Every Year 1990-2021

30. 1992: Candyman

In a year that brought audiences Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and the ultra-violent Braindead, Candyman ended 1992 as its best horror movie, and one of the most iconic and influential tales of terror to boot.

Based on a story by Clive Barker, the classic gothic horror takes place in world where the infamous ghost Candyman (Tony Todd) - the murdered son of a slave - kills anyone that dares to say his name five times in a mirror.

A horrific urban legend and violent tale of a tragic past, Candyman is both gory and deeply psychological, and ends with a visceral gut-punch.
