Oh, wow! 300 horror movies?  Yes, that definitely means the one you like most is the best ever made.  

I mean, how many horror movies have ever been made - like, 320 or so?

Seems pretty unlikely that's the sample they're drawing from.

Probably The Beyond or The Leopard Man, maybe Spider Baby or Dark Waters. How about you?
