- Yeah Squirm! It's as charming as a movie about worms can possibly be. We all da worm faces now!
- I have not seen Sorority House Massacre 3, but sight unseen there is a big difference between calling a movie "Sorority House Massacre 3" and calling it "Hard to Die." The latter sounds like a Steven Seagal flick and the former sounds like...well, it sounds like "Sorority House Massacre 3." Wait...is Steven Seagal in Sorority House Massacre 3? This could change everything.
- The reader who submitted Singapore Sling mentioned that it is...a lot. While that sort of thing is not my usual (or...ever) horror go-to, I was curious so I looked up a review: "You can expect pretty much everything from "Singapore Sling", such as puking on faces, pissing on people, fruit masturbation, electro-shock torture, and mummy rape (?). That said, it's not a perfect film."
- Lots of Asian horror on this chunk o'list, I love to see it.
- How is it that Shock and I have never been in the same room at the same time given my love of Beyond the Door, the Bavas, and Daria Nicolodi? I must have some sort of problem.

Shutter would have deserved more love than one vote. Now I feel bad that I didn't include it in my list this year.
At first, I was confused how an absurd comedy like Survive Style 5+ ended up on a horror movie countdown, but then I remembered the bit about the man whose vengeful wife keeps coming back from the dead and it all made sense.
Yay Serial Mom! I feel like that lovely little movie gets overlooked, including by me when I made my list. It's become my go-to comedy to show people and it never fails to elicit laughs.
Fun (?) fact - my mom knows the brother of one of the actors in Slaughter High and a few years back lent her a copy of the movie on VHS. That theme song is everything.
Singapore Sling is very gross, but also campy and beautiful in a feverish noir way. The reason it's my favorite is the two main performances by Meredyth Herold and Michele Valley (in one of her many roles called "Mother" (another being Dogtooth)). Despite everything I can't stop watching it.
Wow, somebody put on Sole Survivor. I've always had a fondness for that little-seen gem. Agreeance that Squirm is fab. You should def see Shock! It's got a pretty ginchy prog-rock theme song.
Singapore Sling is not for the timid or the logical. It's also a twisted film-noir parody.
Oh, SCREAM FOR HELP, you delightfully deranged motion picture. I'm glad somebody loves you.
When I looked it up, I remember Sorority House Massacre 3 from its video tape cover when it was released as Hard to Die. Your thoughts about Seagal are pretty spot on for what happens in the movie. It's one of those where the cover was better than the movie.
It must have been Xmas 2007, and I met two friends who were passing through town at the theater to watch Sweeny Todd, then we were going to get dinner and go back to my apartment, where they were spending the night before continuing their trip. Before the movie, I said that, if they liked, we could save the cost of dinner and just eat Xmas dinner leftovers. They agreed, but, after the movie I had to confess that I'd forgotten the main leftover was... a large meat pie. I assured them than no British people had been harmed during the pie making, but I don't think they really believed me....
I just watched Scream for Help last week and it was the horniest Nancy Drew movie I never imagined existed.
