Top 31 Horror Movies

Earlier this year (in the Summer), Mike compiled a bunch of data and arrived at the Top 31 Horror Movies of All Time (according to the Internet).
Check it out below:



Awhile back (early Summer) I did a little data collection project. I visited roughly 20 different websites (running the gamut from super-heavily visited to little traffic at all) that ranked at least 31 horror movies in a "Best/Greatest Horror Movies of All Time" list.

 I took all the data and average out the numbers each movie placed on the different lists. I noticed that once movies got past around 50 there was a pretty wide variance of titles and the positions they were slotted (one list might have a movie at 56, another at 94, and so on). Since I was limiting my list to 31 (for the number of days in October), anything that didn't score low enough to meet that goal was simply given a 32. As an example, a movie's scores might have looked like this; 4,8,12,5,3,16,26,6,32,13,12,5 which would have resulted in an average ranking of 11.83.

With that all said, here is what I arrived at as The Internet's Top 31 Horror Movies of All Time: 

31 - The Blair Witch Project
30 - Suspiria (77)
29 - The Evil Dead
28 - The Fly (86)
27 - It Follows
26 - The Innocents
25 - Poltergeist
24 - Carrie
23 - The Witch
22 - Pan's Labyrinth
21 - The Babadook
20 - Let the Right One In
19 - Dawn of the Dead (79)
18 - An American Werewolf in London
17 - Frankenstein
16 - Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
15 - Texas Chain Saw Massacre (74)
14 - The Cabin in the Woods
13 - The Thing (82)
12 - Scream
11 - A Nightmare on Elm Street
10 - Nosferatu
9(t) - Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn
9(t) - The Exorcist
8 - The Shining
7 - Jaws
6 - Bride of Frankenstein
5 - Night of the Living Dead
4 - Rosemary's Baby
3 - Halloween (78)
2 - Alien
1 - Psycho

There's a couple I wouldn't have put in there at all, a couple I would have added, and I would have had some movies in different places. So here's MY list of top 10, based only on movies from this list:

10 - Psycho
09 - The Blair Witch Project
08 - It Follows
07 - Poltergeist
06 - Dawn of the Dead (79)
05 - The Thing (82)
04 - A Nightmare on Elm Street
03 - Alien
02 - Jaws
01 - Halloween (78)


Happy October!
