The Best IMDB Horror Movie Lists

by emertens | created - 17 Jun 2012 | updated - 17 Aug 2012 | Public

Yep, lists, not movies. Which horror movie lists are the most useful? Which ones are the most original?

The choices I've made are based on my own personal interest. The order is random. Recommendations are welcome.

The reason I've done this, is to make it easier to myself to track down some horror movies I'm unfamiliar with and which I might like to see. It's not meant to create some kind of contest or to judge people personal.

As of August the 17th 2012, I cannot post (and may not be able to reply to) comments anymore, because I don't have, nor do I want, a Facebook account.
