i have to go back and look but i have 3 movies it could be so 1 is left out completely

[Lacit170]

i acutally just went through the list again.... and i have 4 movies that i personally could see being #1 or #2... so to know that 2 movies wont even make the list AT ALL is pretty much a joke imo....

not a fan of the list at all... and actually... make it 5 movies i could see being #1

You might just be joking, not sure, but this is a list of 80's horror films, which would exclude all the films mentioned.

Unless of course you mean Psycho III, Halloween III, and Manhunter.

What I meant is that I haven't seen the less popular and obscure ones. But the popular ones like the films in the top 20, I've already seen them.

[newginafets]

I would place The Shining above The Thing

Thanks for the list
