I've seen The Host, it was alright. Not seen The Conjuring. To be honest I'm a little surprised I've seen 2/4 so far; I was expecting more obscure films to show up first off. Looking at some of the ones that just missed the top 100 as well, I don't think some of the less obvious picks from my list have much of a chance. Then again, with horror there are always cult favourites so who knows.

I like both, The Host was a lot of fun, but lacks the real horror element for me to be included.
I love The Conjuring movies, but the first one was better.

I liked this batch better than the first but they're all worth watching.
Seen 4/4. None from my list has appeared.

The Host is alright but a bit tedious and in general i am not really a fan of South Korean cinema
I have not seen The Conjuring 2, but liked first one allright, neither made my list.
Seen 3/4

The Host is a great movie, one of my favorite Sci-Fi / Action movies. I never considered this a horror film.

The House that Jack Built was one of my favorite movies from 2018, but it didn't quite make my list. The Host is another solid movie but also wasn't on my list.
I couldn't stand the Conjuring so I can't imagine I'd like the sequel. Never heard of I Walked with a Zombie.

Now the question is...how many people didn't know this and films they would have nominated aren't included now.
Also, people can edit the genres.

If people can edit the genres on IMDB, why didn't someone here edit the genres for Jaws to include "horror"?

I watched The Host (2006) about a year or two ago. (I think it might have been nominated in a HoF or other tournament here on MoFo.) It was a pretty good movie, but not good enough to make my list.
I watch both of The Conjuring movies for this countdown. I like both Vera Farmiga and and Patrick Wilson, so I was hoping that I would like these movies too. The first movie was okay, but I thought it went too far and lacked believability. It just felt like they were trying too hard to push things like the devil and demons on the audience. (If that much demonic stuff was happening in my house, my family and I would have left long before it got that bad.
After watching the first movie, I watched about the first hour of The Conjuring 2 (2016), but I liked it less than the first movie, and I just couldn't finish it.

The House That Jack Built is fantastic. I never though I would watch a Lars Von Trier movie and I try it and it was an absolute blast. I'll watch Antichrist one day for sure
And I was actually surprised that it fascinated me. I was ready to just outright hate this movie but I ended up rather liking it on first watch. Seen it a few times since too.

I've seen The Host and thought it was alright, but didn't think it was too special. It does make me think I should try watching it again.
Haven't seen anything Conjuring-related, though I imagine that if the sequel makes it then I should expect the original. Guess I'll have to move them up my to-do list.

While I can't say I'm surprised Claire Denis' disturbing Trouble Every Day didn't get any other votes I am still disappointed. And that Near Dark didn't make the cut is just silly.
But then again, Jaws doesn't even count as a horror movie, so there is silly for you before the thing even started.
HOLDEN'S LIST
21. Near Dark (DNP)
25. Trouble Every Day (DNP)

It is, actually. You have to scroll pretty far down, but if you look in the section below the cast listing, there's an area that lists genres. It's tagged as Action, Crime, Drama, Horror, Romance, and Thriller. The top of the IMDb page only lists the first 3 genres.
The Host was ok, I don't remember it that well, but I remember feeling a little bored with it towards the end. Didn't consider it and not sure I would've.
Haven't seen any of The Conjuring films. Or most films from the last 20 years.
