I agree with your list, Halloween deserves to be the number 1 horror film

Evil Deads' sure as hell don't belong in the twenties.

I can't believe Thriller is on the list.

I can't believe Thriller is on the list.

There's no "Re-Animator," on either list, thus both are instantly flawed.

My problems with the list: The Thing is better than Alien? I hope that's a joke. The Mist shouldn't even be on there. A Nightmare on Elm Street is not better than the majority of movies it's listed ahead of. The Blair Witch Project is better than Aliens? WHAT? Like someone else said, The Evil Dead should not be in the 20s. And, also like someone else said, seriously, Thriller? Come on. That's just laughable. Psycho is not better than The Shining.

the mist? that film didn't have the cultural impact like the others on the list. it wasn't that good. it came across like a stage play with muppet monsters and the slayer ending didn't harmonize with the buckcherry bulk if you dig. The Descent, Hostel, High Tension could easily take it's place among others.

Why, oh why is the original Black Christmas never ever on any "Top Horror Films" lists? This just pisses me off how incredibly underrated it is. People need to see it. It's a true horror-thriller, and personally one of my favorite horror films.

Good point, Scream110. The original Black Christmas blows every other slasher out of the freaking water. I think this list is way too generic and biased. If he's trying to make a list of most influential horror movies, that's one thing. If he's trying to make a list of the BEST, this isn't even close. By a long shot.

this is my 3rd comment ive tried to post on that list that was presented. let me shortly say, the usual crap films that are overated and too serious instead of fun. it was dumb not including scarecrows, final destination, black christmas 74, frontiers, pumpkinhead, and at least the first feast, and the crackhead that writes this stuff must think he's a member of the academy of motion pictures because these films are all (*sigh) commonly very high critically praised....yeahh...same old shit. last time i read these garbage lists that are a waste of my time

and it doesnt make sense to say "love him or hate him, you got to love brian solomon's top..."

What a weak ass list. There should be a different list like the most Known horrors and the most unknown horror movies cause theses aren't the best horror movies, these are the most Known!!!!! I do like the list but it is a popularity contest! Pretty gay if you ask me. But whatever, Horrorboy_20

all of you guys are fucking losers.

And where is Inside?

Melchizedek, who the hell are you? really crawl back under the rock. Jacques; inside is great but its mostly shock-value. and for the most part i agree with this list. i definitely agree with Halloween as being #1

No matter what, people will say "this list sucks because it doesn't have ____". Which is why B-Sol polled a bunch of horror writers to make their own list, and now people tell us IT sucks. And so it goes on and on and on and on and on....

I agree with Scream110. The original Black Christmas needs to be on this list. Otherwise, not bad. Save for Thriller. That's not a horror film, it's a music video. Halloween at No. 1? Absolutely!!

List needs to lose thriller and add original Black Christmas and Sleepaway Camp!

AgingHorrorFan, I know what you're saying and I agree. But it's just this one tiny thing that bugs me all the time when I see a "Top Horror Films" list online or somewhere else. It's always missing out Black Christmas (1974). The rest, I don't give a damn about but not including Black Christmas isn't fair since it's way, way better than many slasher thrillers out there that get on those lists.

Zero fucking credibility. Thriller? Seriously? Good God, what a pile of crap.

well, my top ten would have been, 1. Halloween (1978) dir: John Carpenter 2.The Shining (1980) dir: Stanley Kubrick 3. Alien (1979) dir: Ridley Scott 4. Dawn of the Dead (1978) dir: George Romero 5. The Descent (2005) Neil Marshall 6. The Ring (2002) Gore Verbinski 7. 28 Days Later (2002) Danny Boyle 8. Black Christmas (1974) Bob Clark 9. High Tension (2003) Alexandre Aja 10. The Thing (1982) dir: John Carpenter

Hell yeah! Halloween got number 1! That's what I'm talking about haha.

Good to see Phantasm made it on there...
