Box Office Theory's Top 50 Horror Movies (2018): Details and Submissions

[WrathOfHan]

I still have about ten lists left to score, and I'm working at 8 AM tomorrow. The list won't begin tonight unfortunately, but it'll definitely start tomorrow night (ideally around 6:30-7PM eastern but no promises). I will say this: there are 9 movies that could be the #1 film. Right now it's pretty close between five movies, but the other four aren't significantly far behind. It's going to be a very tight race!

Alright, I just have one more list to score and have to make my own, then the list will be ready. I will say that the number one film is locked in and nothing I do can change that (well I could pull some fuckery to get #2 in first, but I prefer the film that's #1 🤫)

 You should have made your list before tallying the votes.

Not that my opinion on horror is worth more than anyone else's but I just felt compelled to share this.  I do consider JAWS a horror movie and it would obviously be number one on my list.  I didn't include Jaws or Jaws 2 on my list because I would have JAWS as number one on almost all lists when it comes to movies.  I kept it off not realizing so many others were going to include it...if I had known it would be getting so much horror movie cred, I'd have it at number one.  JAWS 2 would have been top 50 as well.  Both are terrifying films that scarred me as a kid.
