I think we should play it by ear and see how many people submit lists and then take it from there.

Completely your choice, Bub. If you consider a film Sci-Fi, by all means list it!

In fact u could say that all Romero's zombie films are science-fiction or the return of the living dead series - created by military science.

true wasn't night of the living dead hinting that it was a space probe that brought back the virus.

I wouldn't class any of these as sci-fi. Technically yes, but in the interests of the list they would be in the horror countdown. Otherwise it's just going to be the same films in each list which is pointless.

For any film to make the list it has to have at least 2 votes right? unless Biz doesn't get a lot of input? I love horror films but this list is getting me more excited than the horror list did. I love Sci-Fi movies.
