While gory, shocking horror films will always have their place in theaters (and living rooms) around the world, there's something to be said for the quiet horror that disguises itself like a trickster spirit, reels you in, and worms its way under your skin. A jumpscare will raise your heart rate, make you jolt in your seat, or maybe even scream; quiet horror slips in unnoticed and undetected, unnerving you even hours or days after your viewing.Don’t let the title's “underrated” fool you. While any horror film buff is likely champing at the bit to proclaim their favorite film is “underrated,” this list isn’t just about the underrated; instead, we’re celebrating films that made the conscious decision to sacrifice easy scares for a more existential, subtle fright - and were overlooked as a result.

Costuming & Props

Horror has been a popular film genre for more than 100 years. Many fans check out the latest horror flick for a simple reason: Horror is exciting. A reliable, run-of-the-mill horror film offers startling jump scares, nauseating gore, and/or disturbing plot developments that stick with the viewer long after the credits roll.Because of this, some believe horror can only offer cheap thrills. On the contrary, plenty of horror films offer up a visual experience on par with anything else in cinema. Here are a few horror films that have no business being as gorgeous as they are.

When it comes to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/strongest-movie-monsters/orrin-grey">movie monsters</a>, we tend to see the same ones again and again. Multiple films have featured King Kong, Godzilla, mummies, werewolves, vampires, and so on.Seeing an old favorite hauled out again can admittedly be enjoyable, especially if the film uses a fresh angle; even so, it's hard not to occasionally feel a sense of “been there, done that” when watching yet another monster movie.There's a whole slew of lesser-known monsters worthy of more big-screen treatments. They have <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/real-world-origins-of-monsters/orrin-grey">engaging backstories</a>, terrifying appearances, and sinister abilities. Any of them could be used to make a first-rate creature feature. All they need is a director with a vision for how to present them to audiences.Hopefully, that will happen someday. These underrated monsters deserve to have more screen time.

Few feelings compare to the adrenaline rush you get from witnessing something suspenseful or terrifying. Fear can paralyze us and take over our hearts and minds. In real life, this is usually a primal response to danger, which means it's your body's way of telling you to get the heck out of that situation.One of the reasons people are drawn to horror movies is because they give us that same adrenaline rush, just in a much safer environment. Scary movies can tap into our deepest fears and anxieties without ever actually placing us in harm's way.We asked Graveyard Shift readers to share the movies that never fail to scare them, and their responses are perfect for a horror marathon. Which of these movies also scare you, no matter how many times you've seen them?Comments have been edited for length and clarity.

History

A global conflict that roared across continents, World War II was the defining event of a generation. It consumed the lives of at least 60 million people, soldiers and civilians alike, including six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. It was the dawn of the atomic age, the impetus for the Cold War, and revealed the staggering cost of modern warfare.

The battles of World War II were not stationary affairs. Like the storming of the beaches at Normandy, they spread over vast swaths of land and included air, sea, and ground assaults.

The following images are pinpointed to the central coordinates for WWII battles, some of which have been marked with a red circle.
