2 Live Polls: Black & White Horror Movies
Most early films were black and white but since the late 1960s, only a few mainstream films have been occasionally shot in black and white as an artistic choice.
While black and white horror films might not have the vibrant blood and guts but there is something to them that makes it as terrifying as anything made in color.
Which black and white movie released between xxxx to xxxx do you think was the scariest?

Note that some are only partly black and white. Especially, from the first list: Theater of Blood.

1961-1980
Eraserhead is the scariest, but What Ever Happened to Baby Jane is better
1981-2000
Haven't seen any
2001-2020
The Lighthouse is the best and the scariest that I have seen, but by experience, I know that Antichrist, House of 1000 Corpses, and The House that Jack Built are scarier.

For the 1961 -1980 list, I'd say 'Eraserhead' and 'Repulsion' are the scariest or at least most disturbing. They're both also very good, though not exactly enjoyable, lol.
May I suggest just two small edits to the intro? (below in bold) The intro is very good, by the way. : )
