Mostly solid choices. Personally I would scratch off I Know What You Did Last Summer, move Scream in it's place, and then put Scream 2 at 31.
All the Scream films are solid.
Rest of this list is solid. The Faculty is underrated.
I have not seen or heard of about half of the movies listed
watched CANDYMAN again recently. first time since it came out. holds up well. great jump scares. very off the wall and dark.
recently gave JACOB'S LADDER a try. couldn't get into it.
CAPE FEAR: not a horror.
SPECIES would be right up there for me, love that film.
I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER is a guilty pleasure. I never liked the original.
HOWLING PART 7: NEW MOON RISING is amazing in its crapness, I'd stick it in my list
SCANNERS III , arguably not a horror but if it is then it makes my list

Yeah. Cape Fear is more of a thriller than horror. I like it though.
