Since you're pretty good at this, what would you say about these movies? Horror or not, and why?

Evil Dead 2
Yong Frankenstein
Shawn of the Dead
Pan's Labyrinth
All of those are horror movies, IMO, because they all contain both horror and the supernatural. A film can be horrifying without being a horror (e.g., Schindler's List) and supernatural without being a horror (e.g., Close Encounters of the Third Kind). But horror mixed with supernatural means you get a horror.
