Frailty is at #11, anyone who hasn't see it should, it's great. And I don't think 28 days later should be #10...at all.

I've never seen a Horror Mocie.

Horror mocies...horror mocies... my favorite would have to be the SHining although it really doesn't scare me anymore. Most horror movies I see once are pretty much useless to me ever after.

I have never even heard of Frailty but it sounds really good. Religious nutcase goes on killing spree.. you know I'm down.

not horror mocie proper, esp. these days, but Alien kicks ass.

Body Snatchers is a classic

Nosferatu is supposed to be horror? I have yet to see it, Kinski rules.

the Nosferatu with 8.9 tomato rating is not the Herzog-Kinski Nosferatu; this one's slightly down the list.

Note that this list is both horror and suspense films - tomatoes have them listed together

Glad to see "The Thing" on there, great movie. I wouldn't put Halloween at number 1, its pretty good but I'd have it at around 15 or so.

Not having "Alien" on there is a definite snub, same with "Silence of the Lambs" and a few others.

Haloween at #1?
I saw it lately, did not age well at all. I've always been a sucker for Carpenter and his cheesy synth scores though. Nice to see Romero, Cronenberg, Raimi, Carpenter get their due. Most of those recent ones are too fucking gimicky for me (sixth sense, blair witch, the nipponese remakes).

What the fuck happened to Carpenter though, he's really lost it. He pumped out some classics (Thing, Assault on Precint 13, Excape from NY, Christine, etc.) but nothing good from the last 20 years no?

Raimi has gone full blown Hollywood.
Peter Jackson too.

At least we still have Cronenberg, that twisted Canuck.

WTF? Since when is Scream a horror movie? Evil Dead and zombie movies - horror? An interesting definition of horror they have in the US.
And why is the place that should be strictly reserved for Teletubbies is occupied by Haloween? PREPOSTEROUS!

the point about rottentomatoes is that they don't have their own rating as such, it is all about averages from various reviews, and I dig it.

There isn't a single movie reviewer I agree with. Fucking artsy swell guy.

I could recommend you a site with reviews by 2 guys writing for a major Polish newspaper - end I mostly agree with them more-or-less, but it wouldn't be quite useful (other than how many 'stars' they give to what)

Anyhow, I find rottentomatoes average rating (not tomatometer) a better clue as to what's worth checking out than box office statistics.
