I would agree on Removing:
Rebecca (1940)
And Then There Were None (1945)
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)
I don't really think they really fall into what I would consider the Horror realm.
I would back:
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943)
The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942)
I would also argue I feel "The Invisible Man Returns (1940)" should be up higher. While Vincent Price was in Tower Of London, to me, The Invisible Man Returns really starts his career in Horror and set him on the path to becoming the Horror Icon he became. It's hard to do a movie where the main character is invisible where we are forced to rely on the actors voice to convince and entertain. Vincent Price with his unique voice gave us a performance to cherish.
I would also argue for The Mummy's Hand (1940). While inferior to the original, it was a new idea that allowed the series to continue on in a whole new direction. Dick Foran and Wallace Ford are like a preview of the later Abbott and Costello movies with their comedic performances and while you could argue that adding the "comedy element" to a horror sequel may have started with Bride Of Frankenstein, I think more of what we see today came from ideas that started from this movie.
The others I would back are too low to ever go anywhere but I wanted to at least throw those ideas out there.
