Very nice list indeed, Mr. Door. I should say that Eraserhead would probably be in my top 10, but while its imagery was certainly similar to that of horror films, it was so divorced from our reality that I could not rightly say that I experienced it as horror.

Well actually I did hesitate adding Eraserhead to the list, but the "baby" scenes are all too horrifying not to add.

Just watched Dracula (1931) and added it to my list, assuming that's ok. In time it might go a bit higher but it'll be #19 for this list.
Dropped my previous #30 (out of 30) off, though I will miss finishing my list with horror films starring Harry Potter and Frodo Baggins.

not just the baby scenes but really I think the whole thing is just the epitome of surreal horror. Nightmares are also fairly removed from our reality, and I think most people would classify those as horrific. Amazing list in any case, though I do have a question.

does everyone think this counts as horror? Please convince me, because if you succeed I might just have to put it up on my list very very high.

You know what? I don't care what makes it and what doesn't. This is gonna be a really fun list. There's so much variety in here, I don't mind seeing a thriller or two or Scream or whatever. This is fun stuff. I do wish those of you who haven't seen a couple of these films will hit up YouTube for them, if I can do some last minute promoting for three that I wouldn't have even considered had I not discovered or rediscovered them.
Maniac (1980) is simply put a definitive slasher film; very low budget but with some of Tom Savini's sickest effects yet and a great performance by Joe Spinell as the killer who scalps women to decorate his mannequins.
Alone in the Dark (1982) seems to be a forgotten classic about a group of psychos (including Jack Palance and Martin Landau who are both stellar) that slash their way out of a mental asylum during a power outage. Can't believe this film isn't more famous.
Alice, Sweet Alice (1976) - a little girl (Brooke Shields in her brief film debut) is burned to death at her communion. Did her little bitch of an older sister do it? An intriguing, violent early slasher.

Eraserhead fascinated me and stimulated my imagination tremendously, but did not horrify me. If I dreamed this, I would not see it as a nightmare, but I can imagine those with children or young siblings might experience it differently.

Just tallied it all up  It's definitely a fun list. It's extremely varied with a lot of different types of horror, including comedic and some borderline thrillers, and it all makes an excellently creepy aesthetic.
Hoping you guys like it  Expecting a few more lists to come in within the next few hours. Deadline is midnight.
