- With The Pit being mentioned here and in Amanda by Night's list, I think it's high time for a rewatch. For those of you unfamiliar with the gloriousosity of the film, those of you wondering exactly what's happening in that screencap above, I'll tell you: that's Jamie pushing an elderly, wheelchair-bound woman towards a pit full of hungry troglodyte/monster-things. Yep...time for a rewatch!
- I must see this The Church that three of you have gone on about. Why, I'd never even heard of it before this list. This list rules!
- Nice to see Alucarda getting some love. I've been thinking about it some lately...maybe my life has been missing the sweet, sweet sound of SO MUCH SCREAMING.
- "You gonna be da worm face!" Oh Squirm, I love you so.
- Check out The Sentinel if you're in the mood for a bowl full of creepy-crazy sauce. It features cats in party hats and Beverly D'Angelo masturbating through a leotard. What's not to love?

Finally one of my picks rears its head!! LONG LIVE THE SENTINEL!!!
Also the Church is on Instant Watch woohoo! woohoo!
Yeah, I just saw The Church on instant watch, and it was great. Alucarda, BTW, is one of those that is much better in the original language with subtitles. Dubbing is the devil! Besides, screaming is the universal language. Yay, Frailty! Yay, Brain Damage!
One of those 3 Hatchet votes is mine :)
Agreed with the awesome awesomeness of The Church; where else will we see someone's head be used as a bell clapper?
A lot of great films on this one. Great to see three people (sadly I wasn't one of them) vote for both Demon Knight and F13: The New Blood. I remember Demon Knight having a bizarre ad campaign where I lived. The commercials said that the movie was so shocking and frightening, that it would never be released on video. Scared the hell out of me in theaters when I was 11.
Great to see two other people also vote for THEM!. Monstervision would usually air that movie twice a year back in the 90s, for its all-night giant-monster marathon.
Yeah! TFtC: Demon Knight was so much better than it had a right to be. I'm still kicking myself for not listing it.
I saw Burnt Offerings and The Sentinel in the same theater at about the same time, so I've always remembered those two movies together, and it kind of feels like destiny that they'd be on this list so close together.
I thought long and hard before allowing any sequels into my top 20... but, with films like Friday the 13th Part VII and Final Destination 2 receiving multple votes, I now realise I tortured myself for no real reason.
OH MAN I almost had a heart attack seeing Night of the Living Dead on there - ONLY 3 VOTES?! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!?! - UNTIL I realized it was the remake *deep breaths*
I may be taking this too seriously...LOL
Oh, you three people who picked Demon Knight, I love you all so very much. Such a fun movie.
OK, I have to find and view my copy of The Pit immediately.
Also, loving the love of The Blob and The Sentinel.
I can't believe I'd never heard of The Pit until a few days ago, that just might be the third best death involving a wheelchair after TCM & Don't go in the Woods... another one added to my 'must see while drinking paint stripper' list.
The Sentinel is really creepy and disturbing, particularly once you learn that the actors in the climactic scene aren't wearing prosthetics.
The Night of the Hunter, while a great movie isn't a horror IMHO. Robert Mitchum is great as a creepy preacher though.
What the hell? Genie Francis isn't in any of these movies.
you really, really have to see "The Church". It's as brilliant as "Stage Fright, "The Sect" & "Dellamorte Dellamore", the 3 other horror films from Michele Soavi, Italy's most underrated horror director.
