I had read your explanation of your choices; in fact, I was adding an update here to link to it, but you saved me the trouble! Obviously, people will always quibble about these lists, but when we know what the underlying criteria are, we have a clearer, more throught-provoking picture of what the list "means."

Any individual choices or collective list is subjective, and is likely to be controversial in the horror subculture, but it would have been helpful for some stated definitions of "horror" and criteria for choices to have been included with voting process and the posted list of films. I have addressed both of these areas as they informed my choices, and I provide my own list (which incidentally includes HORROR OF DRACULA; and in my definition of the fantastic which sees the boundaries between horror, sci fi and fantasy to be artificial and at times forced) which can be read at http://www.theofantastique.com/2008/12/01/top-horror-films-controversy-definitions-biases-and-criteria/ Thanks again for discussing the list. May the discussion and debate continue. Steve, thanks for sharing your thoughts and criticism of LOTTD’s list of 50 Best Horror Films.
