No Dawn of the Dead(1978) or Night of the Living Dead(1968) ? I would expect at least one of the two to be in there.Given its lofty position and considering Shaun of the Dead is basically a spoof of Romero's work,albeit a loving and well made spoof,I find it odd neither Night or Dawn gets an entry in the Top 10(and I love Shaun).I would Also place the original Halloween in my personal Top 10.

I believe it's mostly based on critical positive review percentage. Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Halloween are all in the list, but didn't recieve 100%, so arent on the top 10.

• We use a weighted formula (Bayesian) to account for variation in the number of reviews per movie. The winners are determined by the rankings, designated as the "adjusted score," after applying said formula:
(r ÷ (r+m)) × t + (m ÷ (r+m)) × a, with "r" representing the number of rated reviews, "m" the minimum number of reviews needed for a movie to qualify, "t" the Tomatometer score, and "a" the average Tomatometer of all the qualifying movies

Equations are evil,evil I tells ya!

anyone who hasn't got halloween in at least their top 10 isn't worth talking to. Ever. No exceptions.

Yeah, I don't see it as a horror movie either, I see it as an adventure movie.

The movies arn't where they should be.There.Simple enough?

Not a groundbreaking list but I don't really see it as insulting to the genre. Anybody who uses the words "the average Tomatometer" in an equation shouldn't be trusted anyway.

I don't see how it's for the "ZOMG horror fans" seeing as there isn't any "ZOMG horror" in it.
