A few notes!
  • Seeing The Hidden and The Unnamable on here is seriously giving me some warm fuzzies. Ah, the video era. Hell, I'd forgotten all about The Unnamable's existence until I read it on the submitted list- then my brain immediately conjured up the box art. AH THE VIDEO ERA I SAY.
  • I've seen The Dead Zone so, so many times. One of the things I remember most about it is the sound of the cop's rubber raincoat before he...well, you know.
  • I'm surprised that House by the Cemetery got one wee vote. Unless my calculations are wrong- which, honestly, is entirely possible. There were...umm...a lot of votes to tally, as you can imagine, and I did it all old-school style in a spiral-bound notebook (yes, it was madness)- that lone vote belongs to B-Sol of The Vault of Horror.
  • The first 20-or-so minutes of When a Stranger Calls are horror movie perfection, the end.
  • Also, Carol fucking Kane. The end.
