The Raro disc does indeed boast a very nice transfer - definitely recommended for anyone looking to pick it up.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

I really want to see Evil Dead Trap; I watched that trailer a couple of months ago on YouTube, and it looks amazing!

And what about Paper House?

I turned 11 in 1988, and that year was a real watershed for me and I will always have a big soft spot for that whole late-80s period .

was just going to pick MBTS and TL, when you jogged my memory, yes Paper House was a weird little film, ta for reminder!!

Spoorloos (The Vanishing) is my favourite from this year, but there's no doubt it's a debatable 'horror'.

After that, They Live or Evil Dead Trap, the best Japlish cash-in name ever.

Really? As horror as they come if you ask me.

I'm gonna go with either Serpent or Lair, the thought of being buried alive is terrifying and no matter what the critics said, I thought Wes Craven did a fantastic job with this film, any man who doesn't find the nail through the scrotum scene unbearable has some serious balls(pun intended)! As for Lair, I agree that this is up there with The Devils and nobody can deny how hot Amanda Donahoe is in this film(in fact she still is now, as seen recently in Emmerdale over here in the UK)!
I haven't seen They Live for years, I seem to remember enjoying it when I saw it though, now added to the ever growing wish-list

Spoorloos is one of the scariest films I've ever seen due to the obsessive nature of both the protagonist and antagonist and the ending is probably the most frightening ending of any film ever made.
