Holy...that looks amazing. I think I have a vague memory of seeing the movie poster, but that could be wrong. Ty for posting.

4. Taste the Blood of Dracula
5. Dog Soldiers
6. The Howling
7. Friday the 13th
8. Halloween
9. Nightmare on Elm Street
10. Jaws
11. John Carpenter's Vampires
12. 30 Days of Night
13. Creature From the Black Lagoon
14. Grabbers
15. Shaun of the Dead
At last, another Frankenstein! I almost added Dracula and The Wolfman as well but stuck with one of the Universal Monsters since the list was limited to 15.
Taste The Blood of Dracula is one that I wouldn't have thought of, but I do love seeing it on your list. I'm really fond of that flick.

It's great seeing your posts, HDC'ers. Thanks for the response!

Taste the Blood of Dracula is hands-down my favorite vampire and Christopher Lee/Hammer movie!

My pleasure, Boss. Phantomis an outright joy to watch. All kinds of great performances and hummable tunes. It's dark in all the right places and light when it needs to be. Classic DePalma cinema style as well. I hope you Love it Boss. I do!

Looking forward to your 15 Must Have list, man!

Can't say I blame you. I do wish there was a bit more of Mr. Lee, but his presence is still perfection. TTBOD is so debauched and slick! I think I may have to watch this one again this October. Thanks for the inspiration, Hammer.

Well, just focus on the 10% that are positive then.

See ya, H.C.

Great to see another list with Phantasm on it too.
Toxie would probably make my top five if I had to narrow it down to that. He holds a special spot in my heart. When it comes down to it, he epitomizes 80's cult movies and a genre of horror/comedy/super hero film that has still, to this day, gone mostly untouched.

You're welcome! I would have put ALL of the Hammer movies that I love, but, I didn't want to be repetitive! ::big grin::

The way I think about this list is to try to include not necessarily the 'best', but a variety. Frustratingly its most movies by white men about white people. Not trying to be 'PC' as some might say, but to show a broader range. I'm also not very good at picking titles out of my brain and I do not collect films much(mostly books) and I'm not going to put a movie in this list I haven't seen. So I sort of went with classics, variety of theme, etc. NOT a criticism of anyone else's list!!!

Something Wicked This Way Comes
Halloween
Return of the Living Dead
From Beyond
Candyman
The Haunting(of Hill House)
Hellraiser
Evil Dead
Cabin in the Woods
House
The Entity
Poltergeist
The Blair Witch Project
Videodrome
The Thing

Do I recall that your dad turned you on to Toxie? If my recollection is wrong, I'm sorry, but if it's right, I know just what you mean. i have a Paternal connection to 1955's Tarantula. It will forever be a favorite for that reason…and for the 100 feet of KILLER SPIDER!!!
