In our quest to help you expand your horror horizons, we travel around the world to uncover the best in undiscovered foreign horror.

Join us for a journey around the world, starting and ending in America, where we explore exceptional and often unsung horror films from around the world. We travel far and wide, from horror meccas to hidden jewels, to find the best horror you may not have seen. Though 80 films will be featured/spotlighted in our journey, many more will be uncovered along the way to ensure you have a sizeable selection of films from every stop on our journey to help you dig deeper into the vast genre treasure trove available beyond domestic soil.

We also encourage you to check out this great Letterboxd resource featuring the 80 core films in our journey, as well as this resource featuring many more bonus films from the countries we visit.
