OMG, Dementia! The version I've seen is a DVD that actually has the "Daughter of Horror" version on it as well. I'm glad I stuck with the the real one. One thing though: If you're gonna talk about such a little-known film, could you please not give so much away?

I was hoping to see The Uninvited on here. No, not the mutant cat one. Or the one that's a remake of A Tale of Two Sisters. Or the 2003 South Korean film. Or the--holy crap, there's a lot of movies with that title... No, The Uninvited I'm referring to is a 1944 haunted house film. It's really good, but I think it's not very well known. Aside from just being a generally well-made film, it also touches on some interesting issues that were controversial in its day.

I second La Llorona. I like the twist on her backstory (though I'd love to see a good movie that sticks closer to the legend, too). BTW, as of today (10 Dec 2020) it's on Shudder.

Ok, I went into Alice knowing it was going to be... unusual. Well, it managed to be both more and less weird than I thought it would be. (-:

God Told Me To is amazing. I really love Larry Cohen; how he can meld schlock (I mean that as a compliment; I love schlock!) with social commentary.

Yes, Grave Encounters!

I've seen all of these Poughkeepsie Tapes and Creep 1 & 2 (I prefer my horror on the supernatural side).

I'd arecommend Butterfly Kisses for its movie-within-a-movie style, Final Prayer aka Borderlands for its style and incredibly fucked-up ending, and Found Footage 3-D, which also a movie-within-a-movie element, but one that's very different from Butterfly Kisses.

I also recommend Antrum: The Deadliest Movie Ever Made, which is really more of a "found movie" movie.

No The Apple? The Wiz is kinda weird, too.

I'd also argue "Monolith Monsters" isn't a creature film, either. Despite the "monster" in the title, the.. antagonists? Are literally just very fast-growing dangerous rocks.

FYI, We Are What We Are is based on a Mexican film of the same name. They took the very basic outline of the plot and made a completely different kind of movie, but I like them both.

Also, there's no "e" at the end of Bob Clark's last name.

Night of the Comet is great. It stars to kick-ass ladies, and it's always nice to see Mary Woronov. (-:

Sorry, but Let the Right One In is so much better. You should have put Ringu/The Ring in the #10 spot. In some ways, I think The Ring is actually better than RIngu.

"made three movies about the Friend To All Children (as he’s known) that rank among the top big monster movies ever made."

Yep. The Heisei Era Gamera films are fucking amazing. And they came out while Godzilla was taking a break, so it was nice that kaiju fans had these awesome films to tide them over. (-

A Girl Walks Home... is not Asian; it's American. And even if it were Iranian, that's the Middle East, not Asia. Same With Under the Shadow.

Yeah... and is Romancing the Stone a classic?

"Jack Torrance’s slow descent into madness"

If there is one issue that people take with this film, it's that Jack seemed kinda crazy to begin with, actually.

Killer Klowns... is really more of a horror comedy. It's also a great, goofy little film that really takes the "Killer Clown" idea and runs with it.

The Adventures of Prince Achmed is a gorgeous film; I highly recommend it to everyone!

Wow, I was shocked by a few of these, as I hadn't heard they'd died. Peter Mayhew? Damn. And Jose Mojica Marins, creator and actor of the legendary Coffin Joe! Double damn.
Thank you for this, Joe Bob; these artists deserve to be recognized just as much as the one the Oscars pays tribute to.

"Gets an unfair wrap" "Rap". He gets an unfair "rap".

And I agree with this one; Liar, Liar is pretty good.

"Great Sci-Fi Films" = Starcrash? No. It's fun and campy but not "great".
OTOH, Forbidden Planet is amazing.
