Jenifer is a decent watch. Its a modernization of an old story. I've got a Bernie Wrightson comic with it in it.

I prefered his Masters of Horror episode Pelts to that one tho.

But you may aswell just get a hold of Sleepless or Mother Of Tears which are the best of his modern work.

Thanks for the suggestions, Elvis. I appreciate your answering my question, too.

I haven't seen that. I'm gonna do a search for that and the ones Elvis mentioned. I just thought of 4 or 5 movies that I've seen to add to my top 100 list.

I should probably add this to my list, as well, as it is one of the rare modern horrors that gave me a sense of unease. Kind of like The Spiral Staircase.

Thanks - The only way I could get my mind around a top 100 was to categorize them. By the way... You seem to like a lot of modern horror... May I suggest some of my favorite indie horror films... May, The Signal, and Session 9. Check them out when you get a chance.

Jenna - Your list is awesome! I can't believe that I forgot Creature from the Black Lagoon! Adding now...

ChronoGrl 10-18-2008 05:09 AM

Oh, crap - How could I forget Tokyo Gore Police??? *adds*

I appreciate the suggestions. I added The Spiral Staircase to my "movies to be watched" list.

CG, I've seen Session 9. I'll check into the other ones.
