Poll Suggestion - Temporal Terrors: Which Horror Film Best Weaponizes Time Travel?

Time travel in horror creates a unique brand of terror - where characters are trapped in loops, haunted by alternate timelines, or pursued across different eras by relentless evil. Unlike sci-fi's often optimistic view of temporal manipulation, horror explores the darkest possibilities when reality's fabric tears. Which horror film do you think most effectively uses time travel to amplify its terror? List - https://www.imdb.com/list/ls596559545/

No classic like 'The Time Machine' on the list? https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0054387/ In 'The Time Machine', the inventor of a time machine faces a bad future made by the bellicose humankind. Humankind split itself into two fractions, the Morlock and the Eloy. The Eloy live like heavenly sheepish crowds of uninteressted beings, just eating, playing, sleeping, while the Morlocks feed them for making the Eloy their cattle to eat. The Morlock are portrayed as monsters with glowing eyes in that movie. That is one of the most fitting options, imho.

Some of these titles don't have 'horror' as a genre on IMDb so not sure they can be considered horror movies. FYI, Paok has a similar poll, although with a different question: https://www.imdb.com/poll/8w529LT-2-E/

OK, but it may still be too similar to other existing time travel polls: https://www.imdb.com/poll/av7MaWI8BFI/ https://www.imdb.com/poll/QoUa3OhJbj8 https://www.imdb.com/poll/99GNkV-jAH8

Can someon tell me, why 'The Time Machine' isn't tagged as horror? https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0054387/mediaviewer/rm2219743232/ Did you see the image, Jessica? But it's tagged as steampunk! Why that? It's more horror than steampunk!

Slightly off topic, but can someone explain this to me: In Avengers Endgame, Steve Rogers travels back in time to replace the infinity stones, then he chooses to remain in the past to live with Peggy Carter. Wouldn't there be a Steve Rogers already in that timeline? There would be two Steve Rogers: the one in that timeline, and the one who travelled back in time. What happened to the other one?

I guess it's just like in the case of Marty McFly: As long as the don't take the same space - no problem. Steve Ragers could have returned in the time when he was frozen with the plane in ice after fighting The Skull. We have also learned that the MCU works with multiverses. Maybe there was a way to send him back in a parallel universe with a slightly altered reality. I was more baffeled when he met himself to fight with himself. That really should have scr*w*d the universe they met in. ... At last with the theory we learned from 'Back to the Future'. Another franchise ... another theory! ;)
