The reason why the order is so weird is that people weren't grading these films but rather voting wether said film deserved a position in the top list or not.
Besides, this is a list created by people I suspect have different sensibilities than most of us. I have been a semi-regular on this horror board from time to time and most of them seem to watch very little else. This is obviously not a complaint on them, but rather a clarification for the people who might not understand vwhy the list is the way it is. If it looks so absurd to you, it's most likely because the majority of these people look for something different in cinema than you do.
After 6 years, this is deserving of an update. A whole lot of movies have since come available to see on dvd and blu-ray. But whom do we speak to to organize that?
What the hell are you talking about? Phantom of the Opera is a classic horror movie. It's not like horror movies was invented in the 70s. Classic horror movies did not have much blood og gore, but was still horror movies.
This list is a good resource. Just keep in mind it's a starting point and don't take it too seriously. Every October I watch 31 horror movies throughout the month and I generally include 10-15 from this list that I haven't seen before. At this point (less than 150 left unchecked) the majority of the ones I see are in the fair-to-unremarkable category but every so often there is a hidden gem (Hausu recently became an immediate top 10 favorite, for example).
Here's a thread explaining how this and other Horror Board lists were made:

The only list I passively, but consciously work on. Just 218 / 500 at this point, which I suppose is pretty lousy for someone who loves horror films.Jumping Elephant
Kinda bummed to hear they demoted this list. I was very interested in finishing it, once I built up enough momentum.Sobchak
Why is this demoted? :(It was one of my few Platinas.

Ah, yes! I think they should do another poll, especially since I'd like to participate as well! ;)greenhorg
