  • Does it get better than an axe-wielding, homicidal Joan Crawford? Oh, Strait-Jacket, I heart you so.
  • Nice to see a surge of love for '80s-brand lite horror!
  • Before you go and get all "Cable Guy whaaaaaa?" up in my grill, allow me to say this: it is probably the most surprising entry out of all 700+ movies submitted. The person who loves it explained a bit: "As for The Cable Guy, I’m not making a joke or anything, I just love the movie and I see it as much of a stalker movie as Shaun of the Dead is a zombie movie." So there you go! Horror's in the eye of the beholder and all that.
  • This is by far the manliest chunk of list yet, what with the Charles Bronson and the Chuck Norris and the Steve Railsback and the Telly Savalas.
