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

[zombie no.one]

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.
