The IFC News team puts together a different sort of list of scary movies, "nine favorites that will never be called 'horror movies' but that will scare the pants off you all the same," while at the blog, Alison Willmore gathers more lists. The ones that've gone as yet unmentioned here: at the Onion AV Club, Scott Tobias's "Decade of Underrated Movies" and the collaboratively compiled "Underrated List (bands, cartoons, you name it); and "Boston.com's Top 50 Scary Movies of All Time."

Kung Fu Hustle is the runner up (10 nominations) and Hou Hsiao-hsien's Three Times got nine noms." Full list, with the occasional comment, at Kaiju Shakedown.
