Cary T

[ErikG]

I'm not voting (unless I have to off-set a vote ), but I'd like to post my thoughts on Ric's selections:

Hellraiser-- Classic
Angel Heart--
An American Werewolf in London-- My second favorite werewolf flick
A Nightmare on Elm Street-- 2nd best in the series
From Dusk Till Dawn-- Entertaining little flick, and Salma

Cape Fear (1991)-- Good remake
Trick or Treat-- An 80's fave! Great fun, awesome soundtrack
Predator--
The Dead Zone-- An underrated gem
Friday the 13th-- Easily the best in the series
Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives--even. I felt this one played more for laughs, and pretty much derailed the series.
El Topo--

Dome Vongvises
Halloween-- Tied with The Fog as my second favorite Carpenter flick
Suspiria-- Argento's greatest, hands down. Nothing short of a masterpiece...and that score!!
The Exorcist-- I just don't understand how this movie always seems to top those "scariest movies of all-time" lists. It may be disturbing, but scary? Give me a fucking break.
Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn -- I'm not the biggest fan of horror/comedies, but this one was good.
The Devil's Backbone--haven't seen
Tenebre-- One of my top 3 Argento films
The Uninvited--Can't remember it
Nosferatu--even
Deep Red--
The Burning-- One of the best summer camp slasher flicks. Very underrated.
Below--Now this is one I want to check out!
Dagon--


vs.


Bill McA
The Shining-- Nothing short of a masterpiece, one of my all-time faves
Eraserhead-- Not one of my favorite Lynch movies, but good.
Carrie-- One of my favorite Stephen King adaptations.
The Omen-- Great movie, a favorite
Don't Look Now-- Roeg's best
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer--even
The Devils--haven't seen
Flesh for Frankenstein--haven't seen
The Hunger--
The Company of Wolves-- forgotten little gem
Horror of Dracula--
The Reflecting Skin--haven't seen
