At least two of those aren’t actually horror movies (although both contain horror elements): The Silence of the Lambs is a thriller, and Darkman is an action/superhero movie.
Yeah, “Darkman” tells me he couldn’t even define the genre
Why don’t critics ever make a list of the best movies made before they were born?
Well, it’s (supposed to be) a list of the best horror movies of the best horror movies of the last 20 years, not of all time.
He doesn’t really know what a horror movie is, does he?
That was my impression, Neshobanakni – and leaving out 28 Days Later for 28 Weeks Later is a major sin of omission.
Darkman is an action movie. Shaun of the Dead and Dead Alive: comedic satires. And choosing Alien 3 over Aliens (2)? I don’t think he actually watches horror movies.
Came over here from Big Hollywood; I like your site. I especially like your conversations with Dennis Miller.
Shaun of the Dead and Dead Alive because they are horror comedies. But Aliens is no more primarily a horror movie than Darkman is, so it’s a strange choice.
For some reason, I’ve left words out of (or included redundant words in) every comment I’ve made so far today. The one I left out of my last comment was count, as in “Shaun of the Dead and Dead Alive count because they are horror comedies”.
Point taken, jic. You are correct.
I just saw this in my university bookstore: a scholarly look at horror flicks!

I must be doing academia wrong or something.
