Horror movies have been around since the late 1800s, and have been growing in popularity ever since. Many popular horror movies have won Oscars, including “The Exorcist” (1973), “The Silence of the Lambs” (1991), and “The Sixth Sense” (1999). These films all have one thing in common: they are all masterpieces of suspense and terror.<\/p>\n

The Exorcist and The Silence of the Lambs are the only two horror movies to have won the Oscar for Best Picture.<\/p>\n
