SHOCKtober: 707-683

Each of the following films received ONE VOTE. It's evident by now that there's no real significance to that, for there are some undeniably great horror movies listed here.

A note! Please keep the comments civil. While I certainly encourage discussion, debate, arguments, "Wait, how is that considered horror?" and all that, I have a zero-tolerance policy- less than zero, actually- on nastiness and name-calling and all that. No one should be disparaged for the choices he or she has made for the list. Talk about the movies, but not the person. I realize it's not very Internet of me to extinguish any and all flames (perhaps before they're even lit), but that's the way it is here at your friendly neighborhood Final Girl.

Schoolmarm out!

When oh when will The Haunting of Julia get a DVD release? It's a film worthy of me trotting out my oversized, novelty foam finger that says "everyone should have a VCR #1" on it. The book on which the film is based, Peter Straub's Julia, is pretty terrific, too. That's just an F to the Y to the I.
