Sexy horror films are the best of both worlds because you get a little bit (or sometimes a lot) of heat with a sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat storyline.

So if you're interested in dipping your toes into the world of tantalizing terror, these sexy horror films are sure to leave you sweaty and breathless, in more ways than one.
