Strangler was the sequel to Stalker. The character of Karl Kolshack proved to beso popular that the movies served as pilots for the series. 3 minutes ago, odessasteps said: Tim Curry version of "It" was made for TV, right? I'm not counting mini-series or two parters otherwise 'Salem's Lot is right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I'm not counting anything under an hour or over two hours.. No television shows or mini series. Night Stalker and Night Strangler were both legit made for television horror movies and individual episodes do not count. Okay, I'll come out and say it. I'm making a case for Duel in my head.

Curt McGirt Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Gotta come back to that Lights Out show for sure. Arch Oboler was a genius according to everything I've read about him. Filmfax had a very loving article about him back in the day. Duel and Jaws are both amazing movies but they aren't gonna make my list probably. Yeah, I said it.

If you haven't read House on Fire see if your library has it, or buy it cheap on abebooks (you can probably get the hardcover for about ten bucks), a vastly under-appreciated novel, just as Killer Clowns is a vastly under-appreciated film, it will likely be in my top ten with other obscure gems such as Street Trash and Tombs of the Blind Dead.

Curt McGirt Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I don't mean to come off as an asshole/elitist/whatever but I'd take Return of the Blind Dead or The Loreley's Grasp over Tombs, and none of them would make my top 100... at least, until I review them all again BECAUSE CHECK OUT THIS TRAILER!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 This also asks the question, what Paul Naschy film would make your top 100? For that matter, would any Jesus Franco scratch it? Is The Awful Dr. Orloff as good as I've thought it might be? Is The Werewolf vs. The Vampire Woman as good as I think it is? EDIT: And guess what I just found... I will also be putting one of the Coffin Joe movies on my list and you can all argue over Spielberg movies to your heart's content 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Comedian Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I may have as many as 3 Blind Dead movies in my 100... I'm all over the place tryna watch more horror movies to add to the prospective list I'm compiling...just watched The House With Laughing Windows and Viy on youtube the other day and finally got around to watching We Are Still Here on Netflix last night...

Curt McGirt Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 1. The Awful Dr. Orloff was awesome and has made me officially revise my thoughts on Franco 2. If anyone is pauntsless it's piranesi for posting that trailer 3. C'mon, piranesi, no love for Fascination or Vampyres? 4. Now I need to decide which Jean Rollin to put in my 100 and it's probably either Fascination or The Grapes of Death. The Living Dead Girl is good but I'd probably need a Xanax to sit through it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Okay, so here is what my unranked and unsorted Top 50 would look like pulled straight out of the air. Spoiler Dracula (1931) The Hidden Noroi: The Curse Ringu Frankenstein (1931) Bride of Frankenstein Alien Silence of the Lambs Black Christmas The Devil's Backbone Evil Dead Evil Dead 2 Audition Night of the Living Dead An American Werewolf In London Halloween Poltergeist [REC] Let The Right One In The Innocents The Descent Tourist Trap Texas Chainsaw Massacre Suspiria Psycho The Birds The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Nosferatu Rosemary's Baby The Wicker Man A Nightmare On Elm Street Scream Jaws The Thing (1982) Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer Pulse (Kairo) The Omen Ju-On: The Grudge Black Sabbath Inside (À l'intérieur) The Brood Session 9 28 Days Later Kill List (2012) The Mist Creature from the Black Lagoon The Babadook Cronos Hellraiser Gojira My only comical omission are Cat People, Phantom of the Opera, Dog Soldiers, The Mummy, and maybe The Hills Have Eyes. I'm sure we'd also argue over which one was the best out of the Blob movies (I am actually partial to the reboot). The ballots will have to be 100 slots and most likely I will be using the Wimp Clause and including like five hundred Honorable Mentions which are sure to include the original Piranha (1978), Videodrome, The Host (Gwoemul), The Howling, nearly every Friday the 13th movie I can think of, and A Tale Of Two Sisters if the second half of my ballot fills up too quickly. OSJ has shamed me for not remembering the campy greatness of Humanoids From The Deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, it's very well acted on top of all the ridiculous shit happening, and Corman had another director come in and film the rape sequences which really pissed off the leading woman and the director (who was also a woman btw, Barbara Peeters). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Originally, J.T. and I both forgot The Hidden, we are deeply ashamed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I honestly think of that more as sci-fi/action despite the gross effects. It won't make my list probably. Call it the Terminator Principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Silly fucking me, I failed to post my initial top-of-the-head picks. Anyway, in no special order, here's the first fifty that came to me, add The fucking Hidden to make #51; yeah, it's sf but so is Alien and I'll be happy to argue the semantics of "horror" in regard to either film with anyone that's fool enough to try. ;-) Here ya are, try one a night for the next couple of months and see how your perspective on life has changed: Killer Clowns from Outer SpaceStreet TrashBasket CaseNosferatuBride of FrankensteinTexas Chainsaw Massacre 1Night of the Living DeadSawHuman LanternsThe ExorcistThe StuffPumpkinheadLegend of the Seven Golden VampiresA Chinese Ghost StoryGremlinsBrain DamageHalloween Near DarkThemThe Thing (1982)Human Centipede: The First SequenceHorror of DraculaMystery in the Wax MuseumHouse of WaxTheatre of BloodThe Abominable Dr. PhibesMasque of the Red DeathAlienHollywood Chainsaw HookersThe MistRinguThe ExorcistThe BirdsSilence of the LambsPsychoA Nightmare on Elm StreetHenry: Portrait of a Serial KillerThe BabadookDracula (1931)Cat PeopleHorror ExpressThe Body SnatcherHumanoids from the DeepGojiraEvil Dead 2An American Werewolf in LondonGet OutThe Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Pan's LabyrinthLet the Right One In 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
