The 10 Best Oscar-Winning Horror Movies, Ranked by Collider

"The Academy Awards have a long tradition of overlooking horror movies, often dismissing them in favor of more 'prestigious' genres. But over their 97-year history, a handful of horror films have managed to break through, earning nominations—and, in rare cases, taking home Oscars. While The Silence of the Lambs dominated in 1992, such moments remain exceptions rather than the rule. Horror fans know the Oscars can be frustrating, with incredible performances and eccentric films frequently snubbed. Still, a few horror movies have managed to win, some in technical categories and others in main categories, like Best Actress or Best Original Screenplay. From psychological thrillers to supernatural nightmares, these Oscar-winning horror films proved that terror deserves a place at the table." - collider.com
