As a footnote the Swamp Thing himself Dick Durock has died at 71.

I am unashamed to admit I have a soft spot for that movie. Can't say the same for Shocker though, only thing I liked that involved that movie was the wall clock I had. It had Horace Pinker on the electric chair on one side and the other had the Megadeth, Vic logo.

Watched HILLS 2 the other night again....WOOF!

It drove me barking mad.

As a kid of the 80's I gotta go with A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Anyone looking forward to SCREAM 4?

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

I've always thought The Serpent and the Rainbow to be very creepy, so it gets my vote.

Not sure why but Freddy never did anything for me.

The Hills have Eyes remakes are better than the original pair imo.

* eg - the remake of the first is better than both the originals, the second remake is better than the original Hills 2 only.

I don't think that I can really choose between Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream. There are still lots of films on that list that I've not seen though, but I still refer to him as my favourite (horror) director.

What films you not seen mate?

[helene]

well, these are the ones that i have seen: both HHE, all 3 Scream films, the People under the stairs, Last House..., and of course Nightmare on Elm Street.

You know, out in the "real world" that's enough to be considered a geek
