You can't talk about cult horror films and not mention Hammer, surely!?

A significant question would be what exactly is considered a "cult classic" horror movie.

To be fair, he only specified cult films, not that they had to be cult and 'classics', too ;-p

For my part, I don't really think in terms of either; as far as I'm concerned, there are (after genre) good and bad films, and a few that fall somewhere in between. So, for example, I wouldn't have much idea whether The Evil Dead would be considered 'cult' *or* 'classic', but strongly suspect it to be both.

Creature from the Black Lagoon
Carrie
And most importantly: The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It has horror right in the name!

I think when the words "cult" and "horror" are mentioned, any list must have George A. Romero, Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento's films in it.

Among others, of course, but those have to be there.
