I was surprised at how easily the exorcist took out Halloween as well. I would have thought it would be way closer.
It's been fun, Sculpt. Thanks for putting this together and seeing it through. Thanks to the HDC'rs who stuck with it too.
My final vote is for......
Alien.
In spit of the fact that I've recently gained a higher appreciation for The Exorcist, Alien remains one of Horrors pinnacle moments. I think it's far more entertaining and has held up better through the decades.

I agree, I think in many ways the 70's were the golden age of Horror... top budgets, actors, directors and distribution; it was everywhere. Plus serious subjects, depth and originality.
Alien has held up extremely well. The cinematography and sound are sharp even by today's standards. Actually, they're pretty much indistinguishable from a 2015 space film.

LOL! Linda Blair probably did plenty of napping during filming.
