If you knocked off Suspense, Thriller, Mystery, etc. and stuck to strictly Horror, do you think the number of those movies in the book is greater than Rom-coms (sticking to a strict definition of those, too)? I honestly wonder if there's many of either...
Not sure. The 1001 list skews toward the pretentious and arty, rather than the popular, which makes it good for seeing films I wouldn't normally gravitate toward. It's missing Robocop and Predator for example which is rank insanity in my book. If you don't think you need to see those two before you die, then you don't deserve to live in the first place .
It does have several horror classics e.g. Evil Dead, Texas Chainsaw, Videodrome, The Thing, Halloween, Night/Dawn of the Dead, Carrie, Rosemary's Baby, Shining, Argento movies, Ring, The Silence of the Lambs, Peeping Tom, Hitchcock movies and lots of early silent/talkie horror.
