We have a list here at HDC for the top 100 most disturbing and gorrific films. If half that list were from the torture subgenre because those truly were the most disturbing, that wouldn't be a very good list IMO. Instead, the list contains plenty of films that aren't terribly disturbing, but a wide variety of styles and approaches are represented at varying degrees of disturbing. It's a good list.

If I were a visitor who stumbled upon this HDC list called 100 Years of Horror, I would hope that list would give me a solid, thorough overview of all the high points and important points that occurred over the century. That's just me though. Maybe not everyone would expect that. For the most part I think we're doing a decent job of that, but there are a few glaring omissions, and some imbalance, and not just in the 60s.

At any rate, I love V's idea, and I think that solves the problem.

Oh yeah, and Black Sunday is an infinitely better movie than Blood Feast. That's not why I backed Blood Feast.

I completely understand your points here, but I still think we have made some really good lists, so far, even if they aren't perfect. That is just my opinion though.
