I think there should be two separate categories for most definitive horror.
I mean I like Anne Rice, but I don't think her caliber of horror story is at the same number as people like Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker and H.P Lovecraft.
I think there maybe should be a best horror within 50 years, and best horror that goes beyond a 50-year limit.
I just don't see people like Stephen King and Dan Simmons as being "timeless good horror stories."
And I like Dan Simmons too. I just don't think of his horror stories as existing within the same realm as Edgar Allan Poe's.
That's my two-cents worth of opinion about it.
