Re: Give Me the Best Examples of #1: Horror Movies
 

I wouldn't really add TCM as a torture and gore flick. torture, ok i can see that, but gore, no. there's hardly any in it

Re: Give Me the Best Examples of #1: Horror Movies
 

Agreed. The remake would maybe qualify, but the original def doesn't fit that mold.
