Beware of the Blob! It creeps, and leaps, and glides and slides across the floor.

Beware of the Blob! It creeps, and leaps, and glides and slides across the floor.

This is also the theme song for the film.

The entry for The Shining isn't on any poster and doesn't come up anywhere else than IMDb. I don't know where it comes from.

The tagline on the original poster is just "A masterpiece of modern horror".

@Peter_pbn​ and @TrusTinsanity ,

From what I can tell you are taking this from the tagline page for each film. In the case of The Shining:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081505/taglines/

... the tagline that Peter recommends is on the list of taglines, is a stronger tagline than the one you chose, appears on the poster, and is likely one that people familiar with the film will remember.

I chose the other one because it sounded cooler.

@TrusTinsanity It may sound cool, but I still think it's misleading to say that it's the tagline of The Shining. Perhaps you could say, "These are some taglines of the 15 horror films with the most votes."

There are currently two movies among IMDb's most voted horror movies that are not on your list, The Silence of the Lambs and Aliens. I think they may have only recently been tagged as horror.

I just checked and apparently they're tagged as horror. I remember looking at *both* of those movie pages and I swear they weren't horror films. Anyways, I changed it.
