HERE ARE THE RESULTS of our recent survey in which we asked readers what their favorite movies are in the categories of Ghosts, Vampires and Monsters. Some movies did not fit so easily into any of these categories. For example, is The Exorcist a ghost movie or a monster movie? There are a few others like that, and movies with aliens I placed in the Monster category.
