Where to start....
The Changeling: The fact that this isn't an automatic selection is the biggest shock of the entire selection process for me.... Was I really the only person who had this in their top 20? I feel like I must've made a mistake and not added it to my list, because I truly cant believe no one else voted for it.... It amongst the best the era has to offer, easily. This is one of the most perfect haunted house movies and is absolutely overflowing with atmosphere and tension.
George C. Scott is outstanding and is aided by a fine supporting cast, including the great Melvyn Douglas. The séance scene is probably the best example of a scene that has been recycled countless times in horror.... No blood and gore, just pure horror. If you don't vote for it, then at least go out of your way to watch this movie, because it really is a true classic of the genre.
If I could only back one movie to make the top 20 it would be The Changeling, without question.
Other's that have been backed that I'd like to support:
Scanners
Demons
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
There are a few more movies that I'd like to back (The Blob, Basket Case, Hellraiser II!!!) and throw my support behind, but I'd rather wait until the other listed movies find their way into the top 20 first.... One more thing I want to reiterate is: If you haven't watched The Changeling, go watch it before it's too late to get it in the top 20 and if you have, then how did it not make your top 20?! :p
