With the older ones, camp and cheesy effects seem to come with the territory. Some find them silly/stupid. Others find them amusing. Where do you stand?

Here's a link to a list of "50 Scariest Movies" that showed up on my msn home page:

Parallel Universe on MSN: 50 Scariest Movies of All Time

Any surprises, omissions, etc?

I was surprised Repulsion was so high on the list. I have a copy but haven't watched it yet. Also, a couple of Val Lewton movies from the 40s (like the original Cat People) are mentioned. I have a Val Lewton collection that I need to re-visit.

I hope to set aside a day this month for my personal horrorfest. What would be your horrorfest lineup?
Intriguing list: thanks!

Most I haven't seen, but then I'm somewhat repelled by horror flicks. I have seen Repulsion, though -- back in the day, 1965. (Opps! I date myself.) I wasn't impressed at the time, (as I recall), but might feel differently today.
