I still have 5 open spots if you want to vote for a different film.
Really tough to put up that selection. I wish I didn't have to include Aliens, but being the sequel to a great horror sci-fi film, and widely popular, I kind of had to. I chose not to include any slasher film, even if Halloween II and Friday the 13th IV might be my all-time favorite - maybe exactly because I would have felt I had to put the first Friday film ahead of a lot of better slashers (The Burning, Happy Birthday to Me, etc.). Most notable omission to me are From Beyond and Santa Sangre, two films I like a lot, but I didn't think they'd get any vote, the second being really borderline horror anyway.
Missing films (and a lot more):
From Beyond
Gremlins
Altered States
Pin
Paperhouse
Tetsuo
Evil Dead Trap
The Hunger
Creepshow / Creepshow 2
Opera
Friday the 13th parts 1 to 8
Halloween parts 2 to 5
Maniac
Phenomena
Fright Night
Child's Play
The Return of the Living Dead
Scanners
The Fog
The Lost Boys
Sleepaway Camp
Pumpkinhead
My Bloody Valentine
Cujo
The Burning
Demons
Pet Semetary
Motel Hell
The Funhouse
Children of the Corn
Stage Fright
Bad Taste
Prince of Darkness
Happy Birthday to Me
Basket Case

The 60s poll is still running, with Psycho taking the lead:

The 70s poll has a 3-way tie with The Exorcist, Alien and Jaws (?!? - come on people):
Best horror film of the 70s
