I think it doesn’t really matter what site you go to to get horror greats, there’s always going to be contention about it.

The one that got me started on reading lists was retrocrush, with it’s http://retrocrush.buzznet.com/scary/ edition.

I don’t really see how a list is going to garner attention for a genre, though.

I promised myself I wouldn’t post anywhere about these pointless lists. If people have such a hard-on for these dumb things, they should remember that Horror films were included in AFI’s 100 Years, 100 Thrills.

Someone, even the AFI, writing a top ten list doesn’t make “Gangster” movies any more or less relevant or legitimate. Much ado about nothing.

I wish I could go something like that.

I dont think there’s even a movie theater that does revivals, the closest I get is Halloween showing on Halloween.

But their list is legitimacy to a genre that needs it.
