I'll back May. It was probably next on my list of backing once I saw how things played out. It looks like it has a chance, and it's a brilliant film. Maybe a bit more black comedy than horror, but I like that it would add diversity to the list.
I'll also back Inside. Why? Because it's scary. Maybe it will catch steam. It started with a couple votes. It would be nice for our horror list to have few movies that are actually really terrifying. Also, if we're really serious about representing the time period, it would be criminal not to give the wave of New French Extremity its due. In some ways, that movement is leading the way for the revitalization of horror.
If Pan's Labyrinth were not an option, hands down The Devils Backbone should be a shoe-in, but it looks like del Toro will be represented, so I'll refrain from backing it.
Neverending has a good point about Pulse, but I won't back it because The Ring, and it looks like Shutter, are already in.
Neither of the above two comments are intended to mean a "negative backing."
Just a few comments (not backing or negative backing) about some stuff brought up:
I totally agree with K-Demon about Signs. I thought it was scary! And horror. Although if I were putting it on a shelf in the video store, it would be Sci Fi.
I loved The Village, even after the twist. The twist definitely changed my view of the film and required complete readjustment, but I still loved it. I didn't go into it expecting a horror movie -- maybe that made a difference.
Bubba Ho-Tep is going to be a love/hate thing for people. At its core, it's really a comedy, so personally I don't mind it not making this list. Bruce Campbell is hilarious in it. I'm not backing it though. We already have Shaun of the Dead. Back a scary movie like Inside! :)
