…that I missed a few:
Rawhead Rex (1986) – Pre-Hellraiser Clive Barker that deserves a little more credit than it gets. This one also deeply upset me as a child. ÂÂ
Dogs (1976) – another pointless memory from childhood, or more specifically, of watching the local “Creature Featureâ€Â late each Saturday night.
Scream (1996) – Look, it’s clever.
Wacko! (1981) – Totally f*cked-up spoof. One of the first. A must see.
Wait Until Dark (1967) – How can you go wrong with Alan Arkin and Audrey Hepburn? This movie should be afforded the credit that Rosemary’s Baby garners.
Toxic Zombies (1980) – Yes, I fall for So Bad It’s Good. One of the many anti-drug, incredibly bloody for the time horror flicks shot in rural Florida. It was supposed to be set in Kentucky.
Alone in the Dark (1982) – A totally crooked attempt at making a slasher film, and it features great scene-chewing by some of the best scene-chewers: Donald Pleasence, Jack Palance, and Martin Landau. Watching Jack Palance stumble into a punk rock show is worth whatever time it takes to seek this one out.
Martin (1977) – George A. Romero’s lost classic that gets overshadowed by what it fell between: Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead. Skip The Crazies. Truthfully, this is sort of a beautiful movie.
Slither (2006) – This movie is so much fun, despite itsÂÂ thieving nature. For fans of early Cronenberg.
