My opinion on including Nightbreed -- and not really lobbying to change anything, but just my opinion -- is that the film we're voting on is not the Cabal Cut. NE is the only one that's seen that version, and I don't know how technical we wanna get, but that version didn't come out in the 90s. So we're actually voting on the original, pretty flawed, version, which is still a really cool concept, but IMO not worthy of the top 22. When someone reads this list, they will be reading a recommendation for the 1990 film. I suggest making it a special mention, and then someone (neverending, hint, hint) can do a blurb about it, including its interesting history and his experience seeing the Cabal Cut. That's just my 2 cents.
(I would instead include Sleepaway Camp.)
[Edit]
Wait, I might be a little behind on this thread... if this is for considering Nightbreed for honorable mention, I think that's a good fit.
RE: Ghostbusters -- I considered this one when submitting my 80s list. It's a 10/10 in my book, but I ended up not including it because it's so much more funny than it is scary. I wouldn't have a problem at all if it would have been in the debate, but I don't think it's a must-have. Special mentions feels like a perfect fit for including great films that are on the fringe of horror.

Oh wow, I just noticed Audition got bumped out -- even though it got six votes originally! Bummer. Oh well, hopefully it makes the honorable mentions.
