Female Trouble
Martin
Trilogy of Terror
Willard

I think I'll go with these.

Asylum (1972)
Tales From The Crypt (1972)
The Toolbox Murders (1978)
Vampyres (1974)
Willard (1971)

................................

edit: oops

Martin (1977)
Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
Prophecy (1979)
Tales From The Crypt (1972)
The Sentinel (1977)

Magic (1978) Brilliant performance by Anthony Hopkins

Race With The Devil (1975) [No man-crush but, drive-in fav from days gone by..watched it just a couple of months ago and it holds up pretty well.]

The Night Stalker (1972) Another favorite which spawned a pretty cheesy and fun TV series.

Trilogy of Terror (1975) Just the last story with the Zuni doll puts this in my top 5

Willard (1971) Ernest Borgnine as rat food....whats better than that

The Blind Dead (1971) [I'm assuming you mean Tombs of the Blind Dead] Not a great movie...just watched this one recently as well and it didn't hold up so well...but it had an impact on me when I was younger

1. Martin
2. Frenzy
3. The Vampire Lovers
4. Communion
5. Don’t Torture A Duckling

Though I wish I could fit Night of the Lepus on there.....;)

On any given day I would have put Magic, Trilogy of Terror or The Sentinel on my list


I have to admit I've never seen Asylum, Phase IV or Within the Woods so I cannot comment on them:o

Asylum, Magic, Holy Mountain, Night Stalker, Tales from the Crypt

-the Holy Mountain
-Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things
-Tourist Trap
-Vampyros Lesbos
-Sisters

Make my job more difficult, whydoncha?:p

To be honest, I am surprised by the variety of choices. Martin is the only one which has surged ahead (only just), closely followed by Asylum and Tales From The Crypt.

Think I ll wait for a few more responses till I finalise the ultimate 5.:cool:

Martin
Trilogy of Terror
Tales From The Crypt
Magic
Race with the Devil

Jabberwocky (1977)
Trilogy of Terror (1975)
Martin (1977)
The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974)
Magic (1978)

I think The Sentinel is underappreciated. :p

It's tough to nail down 5 out of the list though.

agreed....

Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
Dr Phibes Rises Again (1972)
Tales From The Crypt (1972)
Vampiros Lesbos (1971)
Willard (1971)

In no particular order.

Dr Phibes Rises Again (1972)
Frenzy (1972)
Martin (1977)
The Blind Dead (1971)
The Holy Mountain (1973)


I must have changed this 10 times before finally hitting post... then wanting to change it again. I still want to add Magic, The Sentinel, Phrophecy, Within the Woods, and more to the list but I'll hold back for now.

Dead Of Night
Salo
Phantom Of The Paradise
Tourist Trap
Martin
