They Live (1988) - Can't recall a time I had it on and didn't have a good time. The bearded hacker guy who interrupts television transmissions to broadcast his insurgency out of a rundown backroom, those are the scenes that come to me. Didn't vote or think of it much for this, more an enjoyable movie with action at the forefront and I'd love to get into some more focused horror material, but it's a fun movie to see.
The Fog (1980) - Carpenter's first 80s film about a coastal town covered in a thick fog. Adrienne Barbeau as the DJ at a lighthouse radio station and Carpenter-staple Tom Atkins are more in my thoughts than the Leigh/Curtis mother-daughter duo. I'd revisit it as I have the movie, though I did not put it on my vote list.
Theatre of Blood (1973) - In my recollection it comes to me as resembling a stage play... Though it's Vincent Price- giving a characteristically fascinating performance, in a mash-up runthrough of Shakespeare, King Lear comes to mind. Did vote for a Vincent Price film, not this one though.
Pitch Black (2000) - Viewed once a long while back.
The Chronicles of Riddick, the second film, I've seen that more, not recently however. Of the two I'd rather watch
Pitch Black. Hits my memory as a somewhat
Alien-style film. Then
Chronicles of Riddick had a more action-oriented bent.
The Return of the Living Dead (1985) - Music-plus, character actors-plus, viewed the night before my successful job interview last fall. Should all add up to a lock. It's unsettling to watch, something about the colors- greens and yellows. With the coloration makes you feel sick while watching, then they're doing humor and something of an 80s-street-hangout style movie. I've given it good ratings before, but I left it off my list.
The Burning (1980) - Fav characters in the film - Brian Matthews playing Todd, and Jason Alexander (George Costanza) playing Dave. Something curious about how the dreaded Harvey Weinstein went from this, his first produced movie, to gradually become the most powerful movie guy in the world pretty much for so long. Approving of the character dynamics in this one, they're convincing and ultimately constructive, and I spent a lot of time growing up at summer camps and at lakes like this, these movies appeal to me. I can recall counselors telling us haunted stories, which happens in this movie. This was the flick that made me feel good about my
Slash vault. High on my list after a late-in-the-game recall of how I genuinely enjoy what this movie's about. Also, *Savini gore FX*

Seriously I wonder if I might?
