Top 100 Horror Movies of all time: #100

 A few years ago I started compiling a list of my favorite horror movies. Basically any horror movie I even moderately enjoyed and would rewatch multiple times got added to the list and over time it grew to over 350 horror movies! (Out of about 550 that I have watched so about 64% of all horror movies Ive seen were on the list.) A few weeks ago I set out on the painstaking task of whittling this list down to my top 100. after a ton of hemming and hawing and several painful cuts I finally succeeded and now want to begin a full countdown. Again keep in mind, this is out of about 550 horror movies ive seen, so only the top 18 percent make the cut. So without further ado, we begin my 100 favorite horror movies of all time, starting of course with

#100: Ghost Ship (2002)  In a remote region of the Bering Sea, a boat salvage crew discovers the eerie remains of a grand passenger liner thought lost for more than 40 years. But once onboard the eerie, cavernous ship, the crew of the Arctic Warrior discovers that the decaying vessel is anything but deserted. It's home to something more deadly and horrific than anything they've encountered in all their years at sea.

In the late 90's into the early 2000's, Dark Castle movie company began to remake classic William Castle horror movies from the 40's and 50's. Dubbed "the Dark Castle four" these movies were modern special effects driven takes on the those classic movies. All four movies will be seen on this countdown, starting here with Ghost Ship. Ghost Ship is clearly the worst of the four, though still enjoyable enough to me to make the cut. This is as good a time as any to flatly state right off the bat this is a list of my favorite horror movies and not the best. Ghost Ship sports a 14% on rotten tomatoes and is undeniably shclocky garbage. Meanwhile, classic masterpieces like The Shining and The Exorcist will not be seen on this list. My saying is "The heart wants what the heart wants" and at the end of the day I would almost always choose schlocky garbage like Ghost Ship over watching The Shining.
