I am not a huge horror fan. SOme of my choices for a horror film seem odd but I consider each of these films first and foremost a horror film

Not really a horror guy, either (although some might think otherwise). Yes, I'll say it...another great list. Pretty brave of you to bypass such regulars as "The Exorcist" and "The Shining." However, I would have chosen "Dawn of the Dead" (the original, of course) over "Day," included titles such as "The Wicker Man," and excluded titles like "Eraserhead" (which I never really viewed as a horror film). But, that's me...and this is still a well-thought-out list. Nice job.
