I'll give in and concur with this summation for examples of modern horror movies, however I am going to add classics like, Nosferatu, Phantom of the Opera, (silent version with Chaney Sr.), Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, (both Directed by James Whale) Dracula, (1931) The Wolfman, ( Chaney Jr.), Invasion of the Body Snatchers, (original). These films had huge impacts, "scare factor" on their audiences when they were released, bigger impacts then modern reviewers and most movie buffs give them credit for. I agree that by today's standards these movies seem benign and somewhat campy, but taken in the context of their time period there omission from the list is wrong, (IMHO). In one of my film classes we researched reviews and accounts of incidents revolving around a couple of these films, and they scared the pants off many of their viewer's, with several accounts of faintings, and people leaving the theatre. Today if someone leaves the theatre, it's due to the movie being so bad they feel cheated or mislead, (The Village as a Horror film). I will agree going back 40> years on the list is a long time, but "all time", I disagree.
