Well, 'The Shining' by Stephen King is likely to be in there. It has a terrifying hotel setting and a man slowly losing his sanity. 'The Exorcist' by William Peter Blatty is also a strong contender. It's about a young girl possessed by a demon, and the attempts to exorcise it are truly spine - chilling.
They could also rank them according to how well - written the horror elements are. A novel like 'The Shining' has such great descriptions of the spooky hotel and the psychological breakdown of the characters, which would contribute to a high ranking. In addition, the popularity and longevity of a horror novel in the public consciousness might also be a factor in WatchMojo's ranking. For instance, 'Frankenstein' has been around for ages and is still widely read and studied, so it would likely be ranked well.
One popular horror novel could be 'The Shining' by Stephen King. It's known for its intense atmosphere in the haunted Overlook Hotel. Another might be 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker, which introduced the iconic vampire character. And 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley is also a classic in the horror genre, exploring the idea of a created monster.
I think 'The Silence of the Lambs' by Thomas Harris might be on the list. The character of Hannibal Lecter is one of the most iconic and terrifying villains in literature. His intelligence and his penchant for cannibalism make for a truly disturbing read.
Well, Watchmojo's top 10 might include classic ones like 'Infinite Gauntlet' which is really famous for Thanos' quest for the Infinity Stones. 'Secret Wars' could also be on there as it had a huge impact on the Marvel universe, bringing together different heroes and villains in an epic battle. And 'Old Man Logan' is another great one that shows a dark future of the Marvel world.
I'm not exactly sure which specific novels are on the WatchMojo top 10 fantasy novels list without looking it up. But some very popular fantasy novels that often make top lists include 'The Lord of the Rings' by J.R.R. Tolkien, 'Harry Potter' series by J.K. Rowling, and 'A Song of Ice and Fire' by George R.R. Martin.
One interesting origin story on WatchMojo could be about a popular superhero. Maybe how the character was created, from the initial idea in the creator's mind to the first appearance in comics or on screen. For example, Superman's origin story involves him being sent from the doomed planet Krypton as a baby and growing up with his adoptive parents on Earth, developing his superpowers along the way.
Sorry, I'm not sure of the exact list. But generally, they might include some of the most impactful Marvel stories like 'Civil War' which divided the superhero community.
Sure. 'The Hobbit' might be on the list. It's a prequel to 'The Lord of the Rings' and tells the adventure of Bilbo Baggins. Another could be 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', a classic with a very strange and imaginative world. And 'The Wizard of Oz' which has a magical journey through the land of Oz.
One interesting thing is that Stephen King is a master of creating terrifying and immersive horror in his novels. His characters are often complex and relatable, which makes the horror even more impactful. For example, in 'It', the characters' childhood fears are explored in a way that makes the reader feel as if they are right there with them.
