About this list
Once a genre has enough history, it starts to look in the mirror. Meta horror turns its own rules into the subject — naming the clichés, breaking the formula, and letting characters who've seen the same movies we have try to survive inside one. This is a list for films that comment on, parody, or dismantle horror from the inside; horror about horror.
