I tried to steer clear of the slasher flicks but had to slip a couple of seminal ones in.

AND if I can't stick a coupla Monster movies in a horror list where can I purrem, eh?

Go on then, pick holes in my movie taste muscles and make me wish I'd been born Americ... I mean, tasteless

I had Nightwing on the list but it must've flitted off into the night.

Hopefully you'll enjoy it.

Can we include the 2 Kolchak TV movies (Night Stalker & Night Strangler) and the BBC adaption of Dracula starring Louis Jourdan and Frank Finlay? Seeing as 'Salem's Lot is being allowed, I thought these TV films would be too

[platostotal]

Night Stalker will be high up on mine.

While I always remembered it from seeing it as a kid - I thought it was too odd for my liking for many years, but now that's exactly what I LOVE about it! (Even bought it twice for the director's cut.)

Update: Didn't get to watch it, but I am definitely going to watch it soon. I was visiting family at the time. They decided to go out instead of watching the movie! Of course, since I was the one that suggested watching it, I was a little miffed. Oh well, at least I'll be able to watch it by myself now.
