Man...that's a pretty crappy list.

I was pretty upset when I saw that The Hills Have Eyes was #79...

I expected that to be in the top twenty.

I agree with you Sham. I agree with Crazy Clown too. Why in the hell are Friday the 13th Parts 6-8 on the list?

I'm just mostly mad that the list is very generic and doesn't have a lot of the movies that SHOULD be on a top 100 list. It just goes for the 'Hey, think a lot of people like the F13 movies?' 'Yeah, they're okay' 'Alright, I'll add a couple' method of adding movies, and almost completely ignores all movies not released in the United States. I'm not asking for them to add all kinds of foreign movies, but some of the better Mexican, German (Old school German, Cabinet of Dr. Caligary like), and Japanese horror movies should be somewhat represented. Italian is on there, sure, but from what I know of them, it was probably to apease the gore-freaks. And adding a movie like Scream takes it solely at face-value and ignores that it's more satire of horror than horror. Last House On The Left was great, so I'm glad it's on there.
It's just a very poor list, and I'd be surprised if much thought went into it.

I couldn't agree with you more Egg, but the thing is, it's a fan list. That piece of shit list was voted on by horror fans!!! What backward-ass fucks were taking the poll??? I say we do our own list.

when i saw the new blood was #33 i just completely lost all interest in the whole list (didn't have much faith in it when i saw tremors up there but this was the clencher) but the #1 and #2 were good.

I'd say the list was done not by casual fans nor by the hardcore fans, but by the lesser of the middle grounds; the casual fan who thinks they're a hardcore fan by watching horror movies from the 70's as long as they're easy to find. Let us listen in on a conversation between a casual fan and a casual fan who etc...

"Hey, what movie ya buying?"
"Scream 3"
"*Flips hair back* Conformist"
"Oh, yeah? What're you getting?"
"House on the Edge of the Park"
"Oh, yeah, you're into all those old horror movies"
"Yeah *flips hair back*"

Man, that was the best SP episode ever...conformist...
