The fuze931 Current Top 100 List

Home of some of the most chilling imagery that I have witnessed in cinematic history, this was the first horror movie my parents let me watch as a child. Before the countless Dracula films, before Lost Boys, before Salem's Lot, there was Max Schreck helping me lose sleep at night. This film has one of the more immersing compositions of the few silent films I have seen. Simple enough plot, was easy for me to keep up with even as a child. It is hard to believe such beauty lies within this darkness. I am no longer terrified of this film, but I am man enough to admit that I lost some sleep in my early years due to this film. Watching it recently has only strengthened my love for the performance of Schreck, a true legend in his time, from what I hear. A symphony of terror is correct. Not really scary anymore, but haunting imagery and one man's flawless portrayal is a sure way to crack my list!

This is one of the craziest films I have ever seen. in my late teens to early twentys, I actually had a party house of my own, so this was just destined to be one of my favorite movies ever, but nowhere in my wildest dreams would I think of the night that these three seemingly average high school students had. This could have quite possibly been the most fun I had in a theater......ever. The entire theater was standing and cheering by the end of the movie, including me, and then we went to a party! Those days are long gone.......for now! This is nowhere near a cinematic achievement, but.....HOLY CRAP IS IT A BLAST! Definitely a must have for a dvd collection.
