- Yes, Mausoleum, yes! A THOUSAND TIMES YES! Corn teeth forever!
- Though I've seen I Know What You Did Last Summer several times, I could not have told you who directed it for the life of me until I made this list. Hmm. Having to tell you who directed I Know What You Did Last Summer in order to save my own life is very Scream.
Slumber Party Massacre only received one vote?!? This makes me very sad. Especially considering that one vote was from me. :(
ReplyDeleteNice to see THE NIGHT FLIER get some love.
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat little flick.
I too love Slumber Party Massacre. In fact, that movie calls for a rewatching ASAP.
ReplyDeleteI also love The Ruling Class, though its horror cred is ambiguous. (As musical satire, though, YES.) And wow, I'm surprised to see The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, but after all, no list is complete without the presence of Don Knotts.
very surprised that Arachnophobia only got one vote. If we were voting for top 30 it would have made my list for sure.
ReplyDeleteI am very, very confused by some human being's choice of The Night Flier.
ReplyDeleteDead End! Love this movie. Never see it get any loving on horror blogs or elsewhere, does this mean that no one's seen it or no ones loves it as I do? Ray Wise and Lin Shaye are wonderful in it.
ReplyDeleteThe allure for me in I Know What You Did Last Summer is totally Ryan Phillippes abs and the sequence where Sarah Michelle Gellar is stalked and meets her untimely death. Gets me every time.
The Relic is so much fun, and has Linda Hunt in it. Jaws 2 is possibly my most watched movie.
Good to see Society in there too!
Thank you someone for getting the peerless Don Knotts and Vic Mizzy on this list. "And they used Bon Ami!"
ReplyDeletewow two of my favorite horror films only got one vote. my favorites from that list are i know what you did last summer and the relic.
ReplyDeletesuch a shame. those were my favorite films. most especially i know what you did last summer.
Wow Subspecies, I gets that gets instant cred for Angus Scrimm. I wonder if Charles Band's much better flick from the year prior Meridian is somewhere on this list. Meridian at least has Sherilyn Fenn and my favorite stuck up bitch from these cheesy horrors Charlie Spradling [of Mirror Mirror, Puppet Master 2 fame].
ReplyDeleteWhoever put The Ghost and Mr. Chicken - I am in love with you.
ReplyDeleteI was pleased to see Terrorvision get some love. Just because I didn't vote for you Terrorvision doesn't mean I don't love you!
ReplyDeleteOh my God. I decided to check out 'Mortuary' and I cannot stop laughing. This is seriously the best movie ever.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is, but I feel compelled to see it.
ReplyDeleteI am also sad that Slumber Party Massacre only got one vote.
Society went out of print before I could buy it. From what I read it may be worth it for the finale. I remember the pictures from Fangoria. Particularly the face coming out of a butt.
ReplyDeleteSlumber Party Massacre just came out on DVD (again) with the trilogy. Maybe it will get more love soon.
Nice to see Arachnophobia there. While not a perfect film by any means it always scares the living dead out of me. The house invasion with the spiders coming out of the sink...brrrr...
ReplyDelete"Particularly the face coming out of a butt"
ReplyDeleteIf that doesn't get someone wanting to see a film, then what possibly could?
I thought I had voted for Dead End but it didn't make the cut, top marks for whoever picked it.
ReplyDeleteSo far I've seen 59/175 of these flicks, like Meatloaf almost said "1 of out 3 ain't bad".
Netflix had Society for awhile, but it's sadly been placed and has remained on my dreaded "save" list for at least 2 years now.
ReplyDeleteWow...I'm the lone vote for Fade to Black? That surprises me. Is it not on DVD or something? Oh well, maybe its presence on the list will get people to watch it. Oh, and I loves some IKWYDLS, especially that SMG scene at the beginning- her delivery of her lines is priceless, and who could forget the abrupt mike grab? Lastly, thank you to whoever voted for Society. I totally forgot that existed, but now want to see it again asap.
ReplyDeleteNice to see BLUE SUNSHINE on the list, and THE OTHER.
ReplyDeletehow many films got one vote only? I see that I'm really trivial. none of the ones I voted for was included yet : (
ReplyDelete"how many films got one vote only?"
ReplyDeleteA few hundred.
Folks, we have a lonnnnng way to go.
DELIVERANCE really is one of the scariest non-horror horror movies. The penultimate shot (no spoilers) always gets a quarter-scream out of me.
ReplyDeleteFRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY is absolute class.
Word verification: sucki
I thought about Dead End when I made my list. I love the Ghost and Mr. Chicken choice.
ReplyDeleteSooo...Vampyros Lesbos and Bloodsucking Freaks...a couple of similarly outrageous movies, and close together on the list. Were these picked by the same person?
