Locations in Toronto for Horror Movies
The films on this list feature locations in and around Toronto. Where a specific site has been identified by the IMDb database or other sources, it is listed, but there could be additional unidentified sites as well.
There are dozens of other horror films with unspecified locations in Toronto, which I have included on my other list, “Horror Films in Toronto with Unspecified Locations.”
Note: It’s not easy to draw a hard line to distinguish what is and isn’t horror. These films span a number of genres that intersect with horror, the supernatural, dark fantasy, or comedic horror.
