This also reminds me, how was Manhunter not chosen? It's heck of a lot more of a horror flick than Beetlejuice! Could have also been chosen over something like The Dead Zone or Predator.

I would never budge on Predator in a million years.

Manhunter has no influence in the horror genre, not that much anyway. Manhunter is WAY more influential in the realm of forensic investigation fiction. Michael Mann as well is more associated with action / heist / gangster movies than anything else. The Dead Zone meanwhile is a Stephen King / Cronenberg collaboration that won the Saturn Award for best horror film when it was released. Beetlejuice is directed by Tim Burton with huge ties to the Gothic scene and culture and tons of horror work under his belt.

Everyone is going to choose different films for a list like this and I respect that! But I stand by my choices.
