    This doesn't make much sense to me. I've never considered Shaun a horror film....

    Well, that was certainly a rarefied and interesting list.

    glad to see that night of the living dead also made the list.

    i'm kinda perplexed that bambi made the cut on this one, though, even more than i'm puzzled how shaun of the dead made it.

    similarly, msn released their halloween-time listing of top ten horror movies of all time, and night of the living dead was ranked #3. killer. not a single movie on that list is any less than 23 years old, however, which i think speaks volumes about the types of movies that have been coming out recently.

    I would say that my definition of Horror is much much different than this guys...

    Some of these titles I wouldn't even classify as horror...or good movies.

    Red Dragon...Horror????

    I like the movie...sort of ...I thought the original was a little better.

    This list is total $hit

    Hmm, Shaun is a fantastic zombie movie and it deserves a ton of credit, but it ain't a horror movie by any stretch of the imagination...

    Wholeheartedly agree with you, sir. Just chalk it up to media outlets like TIME having nothing better to do than compose fluff pieces that attempt to confine movies into a neat little "horror" box simply because it's Halloween.
