We're missing 4-5 of those over on MV. *shakes fist*

Before I say word number one about your picks... is this list "My personal favorites" or "The 50 best horror movies from an objective standpoint"?

I tried to be objective. There are several films on the list that I don't particularly find that good on a personal level. I'd say it's a mix but I tried to be as objective as possible.

34. Rec
07. The Blair Witch Project

Really? Blair Witch may be innovative, but it's terribly dull. Rec perfected the "fancam" horror.


31. Freaks

The worm lighting a cigarette = horror?
