I would definitely include the 1933 version as horror as it scared the piss out of moviegoers in the 30's and Kong was a rage filled monster and not the pussy of the 2005 film. The '76 version kinda falls in between the two of them.

Don't know if this link was already posed, but here's a list of horror movies on tv this month on all channels.
http://www.tv-now.com/stars/horror.htm
Granted, a lot of these will be edited and/or full frame. But there might be something interesting in here nonetheless.

I love the original King Kong....but no matter if it scared me or not....I would never put it in the horror camp. Everyone has their own system though. For me, King Kong is in the fantasy section...along with Godzilla and other big monsters. My fantasy section is properly placed next to sci-Fi since they often blend in. Now Alien?. Thats in the sci-fi but horror really drives it home. Much more than Kong.
And I don't live by what IMDB says either.

After watching Let's Scare Jessica to Death, I really would like to hear Kim Newman expound on why he chose it as one of his top ten favorite films in the last Sight and Sound poll. He should have done a commentary for the new DVD. I enjoyed the music, sound design, and cinematography, but the lead actress (Zohra Lampert) drove me up the wall. It may be one of the most grating performances I have encountered. From the title, I mistakenly believed it may be similar to Les Diabolique, but it was more clearly influenced by Carnival Souls, Rosemary's Baby, Night of the Living Dead, and others.

And so it begins. Looks like we made it to Day 3 before the finger-pointing and the "That's not horror! Yes, it is! Well, Movie X is more horror than Movie Y! Well, it didn't scare me!" started.

If people don't care about members watching TV shows as horror movies why should they care about where and how you post?

caligulathegod...that's bullshit. Chad already stated....How you list your movies is completely up to you - whether you choose to continue your list in a new post each week or keep it all in one post.
I choose to do it both ways and it may be every other day or every day. Whats the rumpus? Who else needs to whine? BTW supfool....I use your links to check out other peoples horror viddey habbits and I thank you for the links. I have not deleted my original post. I update it and start a new post as well.

Hey Gutwrencher, how was Basket Case? I have seen the cover art on VHS and DVDs since I was a kid and wonder if its worth adding to my collection. Is it a slasher?

Hey, I was just answering the head scratch. Everyone else in the entire thread caught on to the idea of just updating his own list and not making a new post every time his list is updated. That is, everyone except you. Someone even went through the effort to link to every one's list post. We might have done that last year, but this is year 2 and there were lessons learned and it's become more refined and less chaotic. Even the idea of a separate thread for lists and discussions is a refinement. Each person creating a new list every day is just going to create a mess of a thread since not everyone is not updating at the same rate.
The idea isn't to make it fascist, but to make it easy for everyone to follow along and see what everyone else is watching. If we keep the list thread reasonably coherent then it will be better in the long run.

Oops...it figures you would respond just when I was updating and reposting my list already.
