The 4 were Dave, KOL and two by oldkid.

I was also considering Les Diaboliques, but for different reasons. It just doesn't compete with the other titles on the list.

It's been interesting to see 4 titles removed so far because people don't think the films are considered Horror.


I suppose if I were going to make my choices because I didn't like them, Susperia and Nosferatu would probably be at the top.

Let the Right One In

The Descent

Are not at the same level as the horror classics.

Boo!

That's not a ghost "boo".

I think both of those are classics.

I'd hoped Descent would survive.

Silence of the Lambs-- I love this film, and there are some truly frightening moments.  But what makes this film is that it is a crime drama with horror elements.  I would say that it is much more a psychological thriller.

Reading this again, did you have to decide between this and Se7en, which I see as the same type of film? Do you prefer Se7en to Silence of the Lambs?

I didn't even notice Se7en.  What the hell is Se7en doing on this list?  Can I change out Silence for Se7en?
