- To my great shame I have never seen Dear Dead Delilah (Agnes Moorhead FTW) so I can't vouch to the film itself, but I absolutely can vouch for a poster that features eye nipples and a baller tagline.
- So many Draculas! (Draculae?)
- Of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a reader said: "Fredric March's Hyde is unabashedly excessively cruel and his gradual departure from humanity with every transformation is legitimately frightening (and for 1931 their portrayal of sex workers is very progressive)."
- Is this a good time to admit that I've never seen Dead Ringers? I think I will hold out for the remake starring Rachel Weisz as the sexy sex pervert twins (as is my understanding of Dead Ringers), if it ever actually happens.
- It's too bad we'll all be dead (presumably) before we get a Dracula 3000.

Counts Dracula.
They made a couple of direct to video sequels of Dracula 2000.
Needs more "Don't!" movies.
Maybe a Double Feature of Dracula 2000 and Death Race 2000?
I have not seen Dead Ringers, either, despite having seen a lot of Cronenberg.
I'd recommend Dead Ringers. It's less gory and grotesque than David Cronenberg's earlier work like Videodrome or The Fly, but Jeremy Irons' turn as the codependent physician twins makes it well worth a watch alone.
In my opinion, Dead Ringers is comparable to Requiem for a Dream (which I'm sure will show up on this countdown too) in the sense that, while not horror movies by definition, the way they portray their respective protagonists' descent into addiction and misery is quite unsettling to behold.
My first lone-vote appearance!😎 I thought it would happen one film alphabetically sooner.
At first I was surprised that I had no Draculae, but then I remembered that I'm a jerkface about Dracula adaptations. But then I remember The Satanic Rites of Dracula, and question all of my choices.
Oh man only one vote apiece for the DEMONS pair??? I figured the first one at least would do better, but I'll admit my obsession with the second one might be a little over-invested. Still I love them both and can't ever watch one without the other
Love seeing a vote for EXTRA ORDINARY, which is so sweet and goofy and weird -- Maeve Higgins rules, I hope I get to see her in lots more
@ Jason -- Demons 2 got one vote, but that other one vote is for Demon, a 2015 film. Bava's Demons definitely got more than one vote!
@ Jason I agree that Extra Ordinary was really good, very enjoyable!
Squee! So happy that I got Eight Legged Freaks on this list, so fun, so spidery, and I still get nervous going to my car in a gravel parking lot at night so...
I was just thinking about The Deadly Spawn! It played in some horrorthon or other in like the 3 a.m. slot, when the audience had really settled down and was starting to think about napping, and it was the perfect jolt of gross monster-movie fun -- it got us all awake and squealing and giggling, not too loud or challenging! I'd like to watch it at home but I'm afraid of not being able to get that magic back!
Dracula's Daughter, man, I love that one too. And Eyes of Fire! Love love.
I was wondering why Dead Ringers wasn't referenced in the Genevieve Bujold discussion in the Earthquake podcast!
