Top 13 Horror Films of the '50s

From Fangoria #100, March 1991. In this special milestone issue, writers chose the top thirteen horror movies from each decade up to the '80's (combining the 1930's and '40's). Bill Warren wrote an essay about the fifties and chose the following films. Note: The Quatermass Xperiment is aka The Creeping Unknown; Night of the Demon is aka Curse of the Demon; and Dracula (1958) is aka Horror of Dracula.
Yes, the last four films are from 1960. I didn't make the list. But 1960 was still basically the 1950s, and the films were probably begun the year before.
