I'm ashamed to say that I've yet to see the '32 version of Jekyll and Hyde. Something I hope to rectify in the near future.

Thx.

I guess it would help you if someone put out a nice Blu-Ray restoration of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. It is crying out for one and I would sure love for it to happen.

I thought the idea of limiting ourselves to 20 films were so the list comprised the crème de la crème of our favourite films?

Some people just have more crème than others!

As I am aiming to do a Top 100 for the community list, anything up to 100 would be fair game really with film no. 1 = 100 points and film no. 100 = 1 point.

I guess it also depends on how many horror films you've seen and how much you like the genre as a whole. Some people may struggle to scrape together a top 10, whilst others (such as myself) could easily rattle of hundreds of films they truly love from the genre without resorting to any 'barrel scraping'.

I could quite easily compile a list of 100 films, ranking them on the other hand will prove difficult because aside from around 20, my feelings change all the time

That's a fair point. I compiled my top 100 list for Film 365 a few years ago, so I'll have a look at that and say how much has changed in the intervening period.
