User blog comment:SnakeTongue237/Top 25 Best Horror Films of all time (in my unimportant opinion)/@comment-25148755-20150312023917

Definitely not hating on the list, because you have a lot of good ones here (although I agree with Umby about Oculus...I tried watching it and couldn't get through the first 30 minutes.  I was disappointed because the trailer looked awesome!)  At the same time, you have some criminal underrepresentation here:

-Alien: Basically kicked off the slasher genre, opened up hollywood to the possibility of actually 'good' sci-fi

-Dawn of the Dead: hailed as Romero's greatest zombie flick (although I personally prefer Night)

-Any/all of the Universal Monster films, especially Dracula and Bride of Frankenstein

-Many of the Hammer cycle of films (Horror of Dracula is my favorite)

-American Werewolf in London: awesome special effects, still the quintessential werewolf movie

-The Thing: also awesome special effects, insanely suspenseful, often imitated, never replicated

-Nosferatu: One of the earliest horror films and one of the best as far as nailing pure atmosphere

-Blair Witch Project: Pretty much single handedly kicked off the "found footage" genre

Those are just a few I came up with off the top of my head. I'm sure I could come up with more if I gave it a little more thought.
