Hey Scores... would it be possible for you to include a running list of the rankings in the first post of the thread?

There’s a google sheet linked in the second post that has this. It should be fairly up to date. Need to check it.

Somehow I was unaware of this movie until I watched it recently, so I assumed nobody knew about it. Seems I'm wrong.

I have actually seen this one and i just didn't get it. It was blah and I didn't care for it at all.

I thought it was more creepy than scary, but thought it did well keeping that creepiness going iirc

That iconic Sutherland face/point/screech - such an indelible image.

And that dog with Burl Ives' face on it. Eccchhh.

I like the fact that by the time you see the opening credits, every single person in the film is already doomed. You just don't know it yet, and neither do they, but they are. It's already too late.
Thankfully, this film has no modern parallels, so we can enjoy it as a fun period piece from the 1970s.

Another contender for best horror remake.

It was difficult to watch the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer holiday special for awhile after first seeing that.

Yes, but John Carpenter will have something to say about that in a little while.

Yeah, 4 spring to mind - Blob, Fly, Body Snatchers, and that.

You know what would be a great use of AI? Re-scoring movies from the 1970's.
Watching movies like IOTBS and Soylent Green would be more interesting with some tension building music than just watching Sutherland and Heston run in silence for 20 minutes.

Relax, I'm not mad about it being on the list. I just said I personally don't think about it right away when talking horror movies.

I went back and forth about including American Psycho. It's a phenomenal movie, and it technically fits the definition of a horror film, but it's not exactly The Exorcist either. It didn't spring to my mind when I started this exercise.

Skeleton Crew was the first King book I read as a young teen, and it really spurred my love of King and reading in general. The Mist is the opening story, so it holds a special place in my hear.

IMO biggest surprises in the rankings so far: American Werewolf in London, Evil Dead 2, and Shaun of the Dead. Maybe I just mistook one or two vocal poster's love for horror comedies to be representative of the group as a whole.
