nice little list, i like all the horror

Oh yeah, I was QUITE the little horror buff as a teen.  I had a friend of mine whom all summer was one long horrorthon.  All we did every day was go down to his basement, order some pizza, have some girls over and watch horror flick after horror flick.

My favorite memory was when Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday was coming out, we rented the first 8 Fridays and went through all 8 before going to see the new one in the theaters. It was....sick...no other word for it.


just revisited Friday the 13th the other day (for the 80s bracket, you should join in and get a pair!) and i've been considering it for my 100.  don't think i've noticed anyone with it on their list yet
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

Just to let everyone know, the current plan as of now is to countdown the entire list on August 29th, starting from around 3/4 EST.  If there's any issues with that time, or day, speak up or forever hold your peace.

Alternatives would be August 28th or anytime in the weekend of Sept 5th/6th.

sounds good to me, i am leaving for vacation on the 3rd of September, so August 29th is good

As soon as possible would be best for me. I (and I'm sure a bunch of other people) have to go back to school in the first few days of September and having a spiffy new top 100 list before then would be a nice end of summer present.

Yeah, later in the evening would be better for me. Otherwise I'll have to get up around 5am. I could 7pm EST say. But I'm easy, really.

You didn't because you're off your nut for considering it. It's easily 80% amateurish and 20% inventive. There's got to be 100 things you can find that do better than Cunningham does there.

probably so, but i think that aesthetic works well for horror and i like to give this one credit for being an early slasher flick (the best of this era, i'd say (at least upon not having revisited the others in forever :) )
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.
