HDC Presents: 100 Years of Horror

Requesting to add Predator (1987)

[Straker]

Jack the Ripper, TVM starring Michael Cain should probably be on the list too, just checked IMDB (wasn't sure of the name) and it has it listed as a crime drama.

Wow, this is going to be heartbreaking, some of the movies that won't make the 20-item cut.

Thanks. IMDB hasn't categorised it even as a thriller. Glaring overlook on my part.

(* = Not in the Master List of the 70s)


19 nailed. Need ONE more.

[roshiq]

Trying to make a 'unique' list for 80s, omitted couple of classics
which is easy cause there's lots of brave & amazing movies. Oh, how anyone could not love 80s...what a fun decade!

[The Villain]

I'll back Salem's Lot as well

[neverending]

I see the 80s went for quantity over quality.

[Giganticface]

I'll be the second to back The Sentinel as a great ghost story with some unique visuals moments. I agree with Straker about how successful it is at creating atmosphere. The final scene is a horror classic that is sure to stick with the viewer for a while. Although it's a mainstream film, the touch of sleaze and "little person" ghosts give it a slightly exploitative tone. I have it at #13 on my list for the 70s.

[realdealblues]

My 80's list is in.

With 2 open slots left for the 70's I will back "Salem's Lot" & "Black Christmas"
