I could do a top 100 for this. I've tried to mix in some classics others have mentioned along with a few that might not get mentioned.

Schindler's List. Interesting choice. I wouldn't really call it a horror film but parts of it are certainly horrific.

I appreciate it's a stretch but the events depicted in the film are far scarier than any ghosts and ghouls.

I wouldn't have classified it as a horror film either. Also, because the beginning and end are in colour, plus the sequence with the girl in the red coat, I'm not certain it is, strictly speaking, a black-and-white film!

That's true. Doesn't the same go for The Pianist, The Boy in Striped Pyjamas, Son of Saul, Shoah, and Come and See?
