This list with its inexplicable duplication is a horror in itself, so is the ghastly background music.

This is actually a Top 46 list cause "Get Out," "Rosemary's Baby," "Halloween," and "The Exorcist" all appear on it twice. I would add "Black Christmas," "Evil Dead 2," "The Innocents," and "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" to make it a full 50.

The Legend of Hellhouse and The Others was extremely creepy.

I thought “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” should’ve made this list! Scared the crap out of me about demonic spirits!

Got me on Rosemary's Baby #50 and #3. I was complaining until the final reveal. My daughter's favorite horror movie.

The most frightening ones I've ever watched is "The Collector" & "The Collector II".

Your eclectic review was very entertaining to watch Also no snobbery about anything as too old. But the duplication of some films left out a werewolf film. Oliver Reed RIP was in one. The omission was like no pickles with your grilled cheese

I got to see many of these classics growing up. My parents loved horror movies. I grew up at our local Drive-Inn. It was a cheap night out for my young parents cause they could save on baby-sitting. I got to see some of the biggest classics from the 70’s and 80’s. This is a great list.

The old I think the 1950's is scarier than the Jeff Bloomberg movie!

I was wondering which four films were better than the Exorcist..

This is the dumbest horror movie list I've ever seen. Whoever compiled it was clearly rolling a bowl. So many left out and so many in strange positions. I wish this would have came with a warning that it's a monumental waste of time.
