I'm not a big fan of Sphere.. but I'm not trashing those who like it. If you like it, that's cool. I'm just not a big fan of it.

That's what I meant. "Daughters Of Darkness" is also a borderline film, though it is a classic in the (gothic) Vampire genre.

Cujo would be interesting to check out.
Btw, did anyone pick Stephen King's Stark?

Def check out Cujo. Also check out The Night Flyer.

Yep, the Stuff was on my short list, but I was afraid my picks were getting too lighthearted.

Some other leftovers...

Diabolical Dr. Z
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed
Frenzy
The Blob '58
Destroy All Monsters
Rogue
Hangover Square
The Prophecy (wasn't sure this was horror enough)
Q The Winged Serpent
The Hills Have Eyes
The Hunger
Witchboard
Orphan
The Host
R-Point
Food of the Gods
Equinox
I Bury the Living
Theater of Blood
The Car
Flesh For Frankenstein
The Quiet Family
The Lodger
Spoorlos
Night of the Comet
The Tenant
Tarantula
The Manitou

I had more, but they start getting obscure after this.

Same with "The Haunting". Nobody knows this classic.

Remember the All Gender Draft? Incredibly there were people who had not seen classics like "Papillon". So you probably have a dose of reason, but still CountOrlok is right. It's hard to beat a list of classic, with a list which barely has any of them.

I almost drafted Spoorloos, but IMO it's more of a mystery/psychological thriller than a horror film.

Yeah me too. There are a couple that were quality enough, but I didn't want to risk it.

Nice that you remember The "Papillon" tragedy.

^All Gender Draft? How many are there exactly?

Rewatched Rabid. The location could still have been a lot better, but the rest of it isn't too bad really. The time period is unmistakeable, but still a film worth noting 25 years later.

One neat thing tho, if you listen to what the doc saying about the new plastic surgery, it matches what can be done with stem cells, and the drawbacks of unfixible stem cell types that are guaranteed to be rejected or go cancerous/uncontrollable, whichever comes first.
