Top 100 Horror Films Of All Time

In the spirit of Halloweekend, I decided to look up the greatest horror films of all time. This list is up for debate, and it comes from rottentomatoes.com. The movies are ranked based on the "tomatometer" scores, which I'm sure most of you are familiar with. Critic's votes are also taken into account for these ratings. I can agree with some, however, my personal top 5 are way different from these top 5. I think The Shinning should be a lot higher on this list than where it is listed, as well as Silence of the Lambs (even though I don't consider it a horror movie) Take a look at the list below for yourself and if you feel inclined, comment your top 5 horror movies, you can include movies not on the list.
