Oh whoops! Confusing Sleepaway Camp for the 90s... that's just wrong. Thanks for the clarifications, V.

I'll back Nightbreed just to seal it in because it definitely deserves it.
I hated Ringu almost as much as I hated it's American counterpart & didn't like Audition either, but I won't be a jerk and Neg vote them just because of my own personal feelings... The only one I haven't already backed before is From Dusk To Dawn, so I will back that one.

Cool. I suspect that will seal it, so if we're at the point of counting up approvals for Ringu and Nightbreed, I say, "Aye."

We're whipping thru pretty fast here (in short period of time). Just got back.
Ghostbusters - In regards to Ghostbusters, if you weren't old enough to see it in the theatre, you many not be able to appreciate just how original & huge it was. It's 5 star fantastic film. It's no less a horror film than Son of Frankenstein & Little Shop of Horrors; packed with Horror elements. The ghost scene in the library gave me a fright. I think it's a glaring omission. What to replace it with is going to be an opinion call. In the top 22, I'd say it's a better film than these (in my order): The Beyond (1981) Pet Sematary (1989) The Changeling (1980) In Honorable Mentions, IMO it's a more worthy film than all of them; best replacements: Demons (1985) Sleepaway Camp (1983) The Fog (1980) [others: Near Dark, Day of the Dead, The Return of the Living Dead] If you consider it a Horror film, and worthy of inclusion, post the film you'd replace it with. Mine is Beyond in the 22, and Sleepaway in Honorable Mentions. Last edited by Sculpt; 08-15-2013 at 08:03 AM. |

In regards to Audition, Ringu and Nightbreed, I think Ringu is the better, but for the other two, people tend to polarize (like/hate), and I don't have a strong opinion in them. So I'm cool with results.
![]() Arachnophobia - Nice debate going on. Consider this: director Frank Mashall expertly shot scenes to fully exploit fear of spiders - recall the scene of spiders coming out of the faucets; the spider on the table that keeps facing and moving with every move of the actor; spiders bursting from the pulsating spider sac. Very effective creepiness & exploitation of fear. For those who consider it might not a good enough film, take into account the 91% Critic rating at RT (34 critics). Check this scene out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9cbtcfFJjo For your consideration, the full HD Arachnophobia film is on youtube for free https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMN8xMzKUcE Last edited by Sculpt; 08-15-2013 at 08:43 AM. |

I still have to disagree about its strength of a horror movie because its not a horror movie. Its a horror comedy which belongs in an entirely different category IMO. Is it a great movie? Yes. But were not here to argue the best movies, were here to argue the best horror movies. Having horror elements in a movie does not make it one. IMO it is not a better horror film then the movies on this list especially the ones you've mentioned. I'm all for it being included on some special recommendation but not on the actual list.
