5. Martin (1977)
6. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
7. Hausu (1977)
8. The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971)
9. Hatchet for the Honeymoon (1970)
10. Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)

I was in two minds whether to include PAHR. I may remove it later if my mind changes (again).

And not a Gothic horror to be seen.

I bet there is the odd one on my list.

I'm also curious to see how Jaws will do in this poll. In any other forum, it would be a lock for top 5.

This is no ordinary forum!

Yes, I expect Jaws to do well - it will definitely be near the top of my list.

Mine too.

To be honest the top twenty would all be deserving of the number one spot in my list.

Don't worry, there will surely be some on there somewhere (although I do tend to prefer Gothic horrors from the '60s).

You've never seen The Wicker Man?

Truth be told the sixties poll is the one i'm really looking forward to.

Not to worry Prince. They're all great films (although I would say that ), but The Wicker Man in particular is a must watch

This is another great thing about these lists/polls: it introduces/reminds people of films to check out/re-watch, which is always a good thing, in my opinion.

5. Martin (1977)

I've had the Arrow version kicking around for the best part of two years and never got round to watching it. Martin remains a film i've never seen.

Indeed. Looks like we have a similar taste in movies, so I'm looking forward to finding out which films on your list I haven't seen . . .
