NOTLD is even better, I agree.

The Hunchback Of The Morgue has to be part of EVERY submitted list. Period.

Everybody should suggest some more films you don't think get enough love. We could all have some 'For Your Consideration' films.

Okay, I'll throw out these 'for consideration' titles that didn't quite make my list...

Bug
....And Soon the Darkness
Nothing But the Night
Dracula AD 1972
The Beast in the Cellar
Equinox
The House that Dripped Blood
The Man Who Haunted Himself
The Asphyx
Blacula
Werewolf Shadow
Don't Look in the Basement
Don't Look Now
It's Alive
Werewolves on Wheels
Legend of Hell House
Sisters
Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell
The Ghoul
Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires
Tombs of the Blind Dead
Carrie
Exorcism
Death Trap (aka Eaten Alive)
Alice, Sweet Alice
The Incredible Melting Man
Lisa and the Devil
The Reincarnation of Peter Proud
Shivers
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The Manitou
A Virgin Among the Living Dead
Clonus

And The Wicker Man should've featured on my list, how did I miss it out? That would tie at number 3.

Got a list of 75 so far, but I'm having doubts over...

Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll
Flesh for Frankenstein
Scream and Scream Again

Not 'great' films by any means, but they belong on my list cause I like em so much, by the time I get to 100 they might get bumped off the list as they're near the bottom, but in for now.

Everybody watch Equinox. I am down on my knees begging you to watch Equinox. Maybe the most fun of all the horror films of the 70s. Nowhere near as bad as a serious-pants critic would probably lead you to believe.

I'd say that Christiane F. would certainly be worthy... although it was made in '81

I'll try and do this, I feel like this will be a harder list to compile. I really hate thinking sometimes.
