The 100 Best Horror Movies of all Time is a remarkably good list, as long as you understand that one of the points of lists like these is to start interesting and entertaining fights over which movies were unfairly excluded, and which movies were even more unfairly included. People love to argue over movies, and they love to argue about genre art, and they particularly love to argue over genre movies. As an example: if you want to exclude parodies like Shaun of the Dead, fine. But you can’t then include The House in the Woods in your list after all. It is simply not done, old bean.
But this is a quibble: there’s some very good-and-concise descriptions of some seminal horror films at that link, and said list is more than happy to judge splatter flicks on their own merits. You may indeed find some suggestions there for films that you might want to see. So check it out.
