Some though are public domain and are still widely available to watch on the internet. But some haven't survived and are completely lost but that shouldn't exclude them-they still had a huge impact on the horror genre as a whole.

Yep - I included a few I hadn't seen but had heard or read about. Or ones whose titles I thought sounded cool. ;)
