My Top 100 Horror/Monster Movies

 

A decade ago, I did a ranking of my top 25 Horror/Monster movies. However, since then I have seen more movies and a few of those movies have either gone up or down in the rankings. I have decided to update my list and expand it to my top 100 Horror/Monster movies. The movies are listed in chronological order (it goes from the silent era to present day). There are a few choices that I'm sure will baffle a few readers, but this is MY Top 100 list, not a greatest list. Without further ado, here are my top 100 Horror/Monster movies:
