Everybody else is doing it, so why not me?  Around the end of October, Metro.co.uk released the results of a poll of the best horror movies.  Over on Groovy Age of Horror (a very cool site, by the way), Curt Purcell took the list and highlighted the movies he hadn’t seen.  Then, Johnny Bacardi did the same thing.  I thought it sounded like an interesting way to kill five minutes, so here ya go.  I’ve highlighted any movie on the list that I haven’t seen.
