I'm just curious, but have you checked out "High Plains Drifter", loops?
That's imho about as close as Clint has ever come to direct a horror movie
Needless to say, it's my favourite Clint movie as well!

@reaps: I actually rate "The Rookie"...only not that highly.
As a forgettable yet entertaining slce of early 90's action it's alright.

I do actually like High Plains, cant stand Outlaw Jose Wales though.

Whooped 'em again Loopo....

[Make Them Die Slowly]

I'm rather fond of "Tightrope" though Mrs Make Them Die Slowly highly rates "The Bridges of Madison County".

"Kelly's Heroes" is a great fave from childhood.

Lalo Schifrin & Mike Curb's score to Kelly's Heroes is a thing of beauty.
