For those of you can't get enough of Top 100 lists..

Quote:
Time Out proudly presents the 100 best horror movies, as chosen by those who write in, direct, star in and celebrate the genre.

We polled well over 100 horror enthusiasts – including big names like Roger Corman, Guillermo del Toro, Simon Pegg, Clive Barker and Alice Cooper, and horror legends like Coffin Joe, Kim Newman and Tom Six – and came up with a definitive top 100 list.

Have your say: on Facebook | on Twitter using #besthorrorfilms | by voting in our poll | in the comments below

By Derek Adams, Dave Calhoun, Cath Clarke, Sarah Cohen, Nigel Floyd and Tom Huddleston, with the generous support of everyone at FrightFest and Cine-Excess. Explore the individual top tens of every contributor.

After just a brief look, I was surprised to see Friday the 13th was absent from that list. I would imagine it would easily crack a top 100 list for most people.

Personally I don't think Friday the 13th would crack my top 100, I would have included "Inside" though. Looks like they just asked each one of these people for a top ten list and created a top 100 list out of the results.

No F13? Yeah because Dead Ringers, Society and The Tenant are much better "horror movies"

Thanks for the list!

Thanks, I forgot about that list. It does list the top ten from each person they asked. It looks like it's not the same people, so maybe they weren't that lazy.

Glad to see that Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 were on the list, but #41 for Evil Dead, should have been in the top 10, but I do agree with The Exorcist being #1.

Not a bad list, way worse ones have cropped up over the years. I've never even heard of Switchblade Romance (2003). Let the Right One In made number 28, even with the laughable cat scene? That seems off. An the Devils Backbone out ranks The Orphanage, that's pretty backwards if you ask me.

I've seen all but six movies on that list. Time to add to my Netflix queue.

Switchblade Romance is Haute Tension. I would rank The Devil's Backbone higher then the Orphanage.

Lol, how could that not bother you? I guess I saw it with the wrong crowd, the theater erupted in laughter during the scene, it really spoils the mood of the film.

Oooh, I could see that, Haute Tension belongs on a 100 best list. I never knew it was called something else, crazy.

The Devil's Backbone was a damn good movie, but the Orphanage was amazing. Maybe I'm just slow, but the twist ending totally got me, I did not see that coming at all.

I liked the list (and as anyone here knows, I'm not much of a "list" guy). I won't get all pissy about "this film is rated lower than that film? Blasphemy!" And the top 10 is pretty boring and predictable (which is why I usually don't get into lists). But three Bavas? Argento's Inferno? Flesh for Frankenstein? No, you usually don't get that in mainstream lists like this, and I think that makes it pretty bold. Like Cooperkill said a few posts above, got a few new suggestions for the Netflix queue, and that's a good thing.

Glad to see Romero's Dead trilogy is represented (though Dawn would make my # 1). Also glad to see Videodrome and Jacob's Ladder. What I feel is missing is The Ring and In The Mouth Of Madness. I can do without Ringu, Eraserhead and Rosemary's Baby (and I'm a Polanski fan). A Nightmare on Elm Street needs to be higher and Friday The 13th needs to be represented. I've said this before, I'll take the opinions of all of you on this board than some random website.
