They are a mixture of horror and comedy, movies that manage to be horror movies and comedies at the same time. Ghostbusters does not do that.

Everyone needs to put aside their own personal feelings towards the movie. We've said before on here that this list isn't about personal feelings and it's about judging the best horror movies.

We've also not included movies because IMDB didnt have it listed as horror. On IMDB Ghostbusters is listed as Comedy, Fantasy, Sci-Fi. Not horror.

I know i'm beating a dead horse here, i just wanted to get my point across without it just being shot down or ignored which is how i felt. Like i said before, a special recommendation is fine with me but no movie should be taken off the list to include it.

There i'm done.
I agree that it should not replace any of the chosen films, but I disagree it is not horror. The Little Shop of Horrors and Ghostbusters are in the same boat, in my opinion and Little Shop ultimately made the list, so I think it is reasonable to include it theoretically. Horror themes certainly exist in this film. Personally, I would include it under horror comedy and, in my opinion, horror comedy is in the horror genre.
