No no no. I never said i was entitled to anything, you made a claim and if you wanted it to be accepted you would have to back it up. You are under no obligation to do so and i never claimed you were, but i'm also not obligated to accept your claim without evidence. And again you ignored what i asked for and changed the subject to something completely irrelevant. I never said you were the only person who would claim Rear Window was horror and even then you only came up with random blogs the majority of which don't say what you claim.
1.) I made a list
2.) You said Hitchcock films like Rope and Rear Window aren't horror
3.) I said Thrillers are subgenre's of horror, no Thriller actually exists on it's own as a thriller therefore it is not a true genre. You seem to be under the impression that I need to prove your feelings on the matter. My proof is you can't name a film that is just a thriller which is why you go through these pedantic essay's and fail to list a film that can't be defined as a thriller.
4.) I showed you the correlation of Horror/Thriller in IMDB, I sourced eight other horror websites that for some strange reason decided to quantify Rear Window as a horror film(or a thriller it's the same bloody thing).
5.) You keep telling me to prove it to you, to prove that Thrillers are horror...who are you to ask that of anyone? You don't pay me the same respect as to listing an inarguable Thriller. You haven't gone into that time period and picked out other horror films.
Horror Freak News calls Rear Window a thriller not a horror
No they didn't it's under the Horror reviews tag, I don't even see the word Thriller, I see suspense I don't see where this assertions of yours comes from. But for someone who finds this discussion tedious you should at the very least give
factually accurate information.
Horror Reviews
There are rare stories captured on film that will remain classics for generations. Alfred Hitchcock, it seems, is responsible for creating several of the most enduring and amazing of them all.
One such enduring classic is Rear Window, released in 1954. Every element, including production, characters, storytelling, suspense, acting, music, scares and pace come together to create a living piece of art that is a joy to behold.
The story centers on L.B. Jefferies (James Stewart), a professional photographer who is stuck inside his apartment while he heals from a nasty leg injury. With little to keep him occupied Jefferies becomes addicted to watching the drama that unfolds daily outside his rear window.
Jefferies’ view faces a neighboring apartment building several stories high, and he can watch the day to day activities of the occupants from his window vantage-point. There is “Miss Lonely-heart”, the aging single woman who pretends that she is having romantic dinners with handsome men, all the while talking to an empty chair and thin air. Then there is “Miss Torso”, the leggy dancer that entertains wealthy gentlemen in her apartment searching for the one she will finally love. Other players in the real-life drama include the old couple that sleeps on the fire escape to beat the heat, the struggling composer who creates beautiful piano melodies and…Mr. Thorwald (Raymond Burr).
Thorwald spends his days tending to his bed-ridden wife. Between the constant care that she requires and the frequent fights she draws him into, it appears to Jefferies, as he watches them unnoticed from the window across the courtyard, that Thorwald is getting pretty tired of the burden. Suddenly, one day, Mrs. Thorwald vanishes.
Rear Window takes us through Jefferies’ quest to figure out what happened to Mrs. Thorwald and how to prove that her disappearance is the result of foul-play by her less-than-adoring husband. Because Jefferies is unable to leave his apartment he employs his nurse (Thelma Ritter) and girlfriend (Grace Kelly) to assist the amateur sleuth in his quest for the truth.
From the beginning Rear Window has a lush and crisp feel. Shot originally in color, Rear Window was remastered several times before being restored to the look and feel of the original colors in 1998. The characters are incredible. Jimmy Stewart is his smart-aleck self, of course, and the nurse Stella adds a street-smart sass that could steal theshow…if it was not for Grace Kelly. Grace is absolutely stunning inRear Window and she exudes a style and class that is matched only by her beauty and ability to create a compelling character. Grace Kelly was one of a kind.
The music is the perfect complement to what happens on the screen inRear Window, and the pace is flawless as the viewer is drawn ever deeper into the drama of Mr. Thorwald and the epic tales of those viewed through the rear window. Alfred Hitchcock is not called “the master of suspense” for nothing – Rear Window will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish, no matter how many times you watch it.
The reality that everybody has things they do in their private lives that would be hard to explain if viewed by others is a timeless truth that will never be outdated. Thanks to Alfred Hitchcock Rear Window dramatizes that fact with the same result.
and it also reviews obviously not a horror stuff like King Kong (2005).
King Kong is a monster movie, it has giant monsters in it. Are Giant monsters not horror
Horrorcultfilms has it specifically listed under Thriller reviews not Horror, probably should've read it.
Those genre listings also feature, Slasher, Vampire, Video Nasty, Gallo, Found Footage ect. Funny how you caught that tab but missed the one on Horror Freak. Almost like they are some sort of way of dividing horror into different genres...some sort of sub usage of sort
TheHorrorNewsNetwork seems to just be a blog were the guy normally talks about horror but throws in random things; on the third page he announces a wrestlers death. Nowhere in the Rear Window post does he claim it is horror.
Well....except for the heading, which you seem to recognize and ignore whenever it seems to suit your facts.

Horror Movies and TV Shows / ‘Rear Window’ Gets May 6th Blu-ray Release Date
The Broke Horror Fan link calls it a thriller not a horror. The site does the same with North By Northwest and names everything that's obviously horror ya know horror wonder why that is.
Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window will return to select cinemas nationwide on March 22 and March 25. The classic 1954 thriller will be accompanied by an introduction by TCM’s Ben Mankiewicz. Theater listings can be found
here.
and to the right it says
Broke Horror Fan provides the latest horror news
So it says both, then again it looks like you are looking for specific things...which seems entitled to me.
The Horror Digest one again doesn't claim it as horror and seems to just review random things like Mars Attacks and Rango; unless they are horror now too? Christ. I mean Rango...hahahaha.
No but it did get a disclaimer.....
Rango is not a horror film--I realize this. BUT it was in fact directed by Gore Verbinski who other than having a deep burning obsession with Johnny Depp, is also responsible for the Americanized version of The Ring. Therefore I will be talking about Rango
You know what didn't get a disclaimer...Rear Window
Your last one does claim what you say i'll give you that, but again it's got nothing to do with your original claim. So 1/8 well done.
Your math much like your facts seem to be of your own, inconsistent and frankly somewhat dishonest.
