Burnt Offerings
The Dunwich Horror

Added.

Also underlined the backings for other films so that they stand out from the rest and are easily distinguishable.

Looks like Black Christmas will be our 21st chosen one for the 70s.

Keep 'em thoughts coming, folks.

For the final spot I would be fine with either:

Burn Offerings
or
The Night Stalker

Both are from the mind of Dan Curtis who created Dark Shadows.

Burnt Offerings is a great haunted house story with Oliver Reed and Karen Black.

The Night Stalker is the tale of a journalist played by Darren McGavin investigating murders being committed by a vampire. This was so successful (along with The Night Strangler) that it led to the TV Show "Kolchak, The Night Stalker" which is one of my favorite TV shows.

Don't forget Bette Davis!

I'll back:
Damien: Omen II
The Satanic Rites of Dracula

All added.

Looks like a 4-horse race for that final spot.

Agreements/objections/new contenders?

There are a few films currently sitting with no backings that absolutely must make at least the honourable mentions section, but I will resist the temptation to get behind them for now and just copy & paste my comments on The Sentinel from earlier in the thread;

The Sentinel: For a very ordinary director, Michael Winner managed to deliver some moments of real directing genius. The Sentinel is one of those movies that just oozes atmosphere. Unsettling atmosphere, genuinely creepy and uncomfortable horror with a really fine ensemble of supporting actors. Beautifully insidious undertone to the whole movie, underappreciated classic of the genre.

Totally agree. I've already backed this one, and assume the Sentinal is part of the 4-horse race because it has two backings?

I'l also back Burnt Offerings.

[edit]:
Also, I hate to do this because I know it's not the right time yet, but I'm going to be busy for the next couple days and might not be able to check in. For honorable mentions, I'll back:

Deep Red
The Brood
Magic
King Kong
Straw Dogs

After review I'll back Burnt Offerings and The Sentinel

Looks like Black Christmas's spot has just been challenged by The Sentinel, while Burnt Offerings has just found enough backers to slide into the 21st spot itself.

The two made-for-TV films are breathing down the necks of the contenders as well. An interesting battle has shaped up.

Keep the thoughts coming, folks.
