Ohhhhhh these lists are always tough. I could probably be argued out of some of those puppies, but they all would be pretty high on my list if we made lists of our top 20, 50, or 100 horror films.

I will be berating myself for including Halloween 3 instead of Halloween for a few days, I think. I love both movies, of course. But, I have been following an account on Twitter that is under the name Dr. Dan Challis for a year or so now, and it always cracks me up. Whoever is doing the account is hilarious, he just plays the part of an alcoholic skirt-chasing middle aged doctor to perfection. Anyway, it keeps making me think of Halloween 3, which I always liked a lot anyway. Thence, its inclusion on my amazing list.

If you do Twitter, you should search for characters from John Carpenter movies. There are a bunch of people who have set up joke accounts under the names of various characters, and they post regularly. Sometimes characters from different movies interact with each other, tweeting back and forth... it's pretty funny. They mostly do John Carpenter movies from the 80s, but not always. I have seen tweets from Jaws characters, so, they're out there too.

Dude, wow. FOUR selections from the 40s. Verrrrrry.... innnnnterrrresting...... The 40s and the 90s usually came up basically tied for last place, in our polls of ranking decades of horror. But, I can see you're not just trying to be funny or controversial. Verrry innteresting indeed.
