Note that I state that the list is in NO PARTICULAR ORDER. The Mummy is not “number one” in sense of being the best. I don’t like the idea of trying to rank these films, many of which, to me, are equals.

I just can’t take a list seriously that puts The Mummy as the number one film and marginalizes both Horror of Dracula and the Curse of Frankenstein. At least Quatermass and the Pit was included in this list.

Also of note is the “Hammer House of Horror” TV series which I believe had a thirteen episode run in the early ’80s and was broadcast on the Sci Fi channel in the early ’90s. I have since acquired the box set and episodes such as “The Witching Hour”, “The Silent Scream” and “The Carpathian Eagle” were extremely unnerving.

Hammer veteran Jimmy Sangster wrote a superb “Night Stalker” episode, “Horror In The Heights” (aka “Rakshasha”).

As far as the movies go, I also feel that Quatermass should have come in much higher on this list.

By the way, this is an excellent, well-written list. I don’t completely agree with the ranking (Quatermass would be #1 on my list) and you’ve omitted a few of my faves, but I can’t argue with the films presented. These are great flicks. Not scary per se, but atmospheric and fun. It’s unfortunate that some of the children here who think that horror is best represented by Saw, Hostel, and FACES OF DEATH (LOL REAL PEOPLE DIE ITS TOTALLY X-TREME LOL) are too jaded to give them a chance.
