It felt like only yesterday we were handed the sixth instalment of the ever popular Scream franchise and now suddenly we have reached the end of the cinematic year.
As ever, horror has been central to this year's Box Office hits as the genre continues to build and grow on its previous successes with sequels, prequels and - most importantly - some big news players to the horror arena.
But which films were the most popular with UK cinema goers in 2023? Here is the top 15 highest grossing horror films in UK cinemas for 2023 - including their Rotten Tomatoes ranking.
13. The Boogeyman - $2.4m
Based on the Stephen King book of the same name, The Boogeyman didn't make many vibrations at the cinema and just scrapes into our top 15. Critics quite liked it though, giving it a 60% ranking on Rotten Tomatoes. | Patti Perret Photo: Patti Perret
14. Thanksgiving - $1.8m
This smart slasher from horror legend Eli Roth made a splash with critics but probably came a little to late in the day to make a stab (no pun intended) at the top 10. Ranked at an excellent 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. | Song Pictures
15. The Blackening - $0.5m
And last but not least, horror comedy The Blackening completes out top 15. It was received very well by critics too, who ranked it at 87% on Rotten Tomatoes. | Glen Wilson/Lionsgate
