I think that you have alot of really good horror movies on your list. One I did not include on my list, but was really good was the Fall of the House of Usher (1960). It definitely is in my top fifty though. That movie actually creeped me out the first time I watched it. I also thought that Interview with the Vampire (1994) was an original movie and an interesting take on vampires, in that it built sympathy for them. Unlike the later Twilight series it did it in a very skillful and interesting way. I definitely would put Halloween (1978) a great deal ahead of Halloween II (1981), but it is still a really good movie. The film I disagreed with the Most was Hostel (2006). The movie was okay, but not phenomnal. There was way too much explicit content for me and honestly I did not really care about the characters, which is essential for a horror movie. The plot was an interesting ride and the plot twist was very original, even scary (The idea of it). I think the film had a lot of potential, but it was in many ways a rehash of other horror classics such as Psycho (1960) and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I certainly understand why it is in some horror movie lists, but as far me I think it is overrated in the horror movie channels. But overall your list was really good and I understand why you chose the films that you did.
