RT (rottentomatoes.com) receives an enormous sample of ratings from audiences. Of course it's just a "like" or "don't like", which they call fresh or rotten. It doesn't measure amount of how good, but it does measure mass appeal. And I do find a correlation -- in that the highest rated in a 1-5 stars type of scale most often matches to the highest liked percent on RT.

I looked at the most well known highest rated general horror movies, and listed them by highest percentage of liked by audiences. I tried to be more inclusive on the horror type.

Thought I might see a preference for modern movies, but I didn't. Personally, I liked Evil Dead 2, but don't see why Evil Dead is rated so highly. I get the exuberant love for Shawn of the Dead, Rosemary's Baby, Bride of Frankenstein, The Shining and Dawn of the Dead. To me Night of the Living Dead, Frankenstein 31, Evil Dead 2, Poltergeist, Alien, The Exorcist and Jaws are far superior.

You think the RT Audience Like Percentage is fairly accurate? Any films see way out of place compared to another movie?
