I agree it's still a poweful film and the original version is the best
not bothered about the alternative/directors cut, whatever it's called
Now I'm looking forward to the new blu ray/dvd with more extras. to be relessed later this year

But I wouldn't call it the greatest horror film of all time
My fave is Argento's TENEBRE

Everyone to their own

Yeah the less you know about the film the better it is.

All of his films, bar things like Dune and The Straight Story, need to be watched multiple times so that you can fully understand what was going on.
I honestly think ERASERHEAD is an overrated confusing bore, nothing distressing about it
I have the excellent BLUE VELVET, which is my opinion David Lynch's best film
WILD AT HEART is good
As for DUNE and INLAND EMPIRE, crao
I haven't yet seen MULHOLLAND DRIVE, but it's confusing anyway.
No one seems to understand it
There are the clues but....
It's a shame Lynch makes these films I don't think he know what is going on

I am not sure we will see it on Christmas Day after the Queen's speech though!

Why not?
Her kids are just as bad but in anoher way!

Seriously though, THE CHILDREN wasn't bad for a 15 cert horror but I prefer Brit horrors like DOGHOUSE, CRADLE OF FEAR, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, THEATRE OF BLOOD et al

Tales from the Crypt has just been re-released following a brand-new digital restoration process and it looks and sounds much better than any other I've seen, and that includes the Midnite Movies version.

I'm doing all I can to persuade the company to do the same with Vault of Horror as, as far as I know, the only version released in the UK was the now out of print Vipco disc.

Watched Anthropophagus for the first time in about 5 years . It's still not a 'good' film but is enjoyable in a bad way and the island setting is effective and has a genuinley creepy atmosphere and Goerge Eastman is scary as Anthro. One thing annoys me about the end - every review says that the beast eats his guts at the end, but he doesn't, he just puts them between his teeth, looks up and falls to the ground. There is no chewing or swallowing.

Also watched:

The Antichrist (1974) - boring exorcist knock off.

The Philadelphia Experiment - Underrated sci - fi thriller. Would make a great double bill with The Final Countdown.

Yes, I'm a fan of the old Brit horror anthologies
Hopefully TALES FROM THE CRYPT is also widescreen, and I did read the company re-releasing VAULT OF HORROR is going to be the same as the old crap print on the Vipco dvd - hopefully not in this day and age!
With DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS, I have the Anchor Bay dvd, but the final scene is missing, and I recorded the BBC2 with the proper version, though not 2:35.1 so will this new dvd be the same as Anchor Bay?
