[neverending]

We only had 100 spots to fill for every horror film made before 1970. That was a lot of ground to cover in only 101 (I actually think it ended up 102) titles- silents, foreign films, Universal, indies, the Corman/AIP era, Hammer, etc. A lot of cuts had to be made. It would have been great to include all the Universal series, but we couldn't, so we went with what we felt were the highest quality of the series.

Peeping Tom & Spider Baby are both represented on some of the other of our Top 100's, so we didn't feel the need to have them on the Vintage 101.

7th Voyage of Sinbad- more of a fantasy. It Came From Outer Space & The Day the Earth Caught Fire- sci-fi.

The Vintage 101 was compiled by a panel (of which I was a member) of varying tastes and viewpoints, which resulted in a list of titles which obviously will not mirror each individual's personal list, but does, we think, offer a great primer of horror films pre-1970.
