Re: Slant Magazine's 100 Greatest Horror Films Of All Time
Lifeforce is another interesting train wreck. It's all over the board. It's a cocaine fueled Hooper channeling Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires crossed with Alien and several other genre pictures, and a score by Henry Mancini.
Mathilda May though...is a sight to behold.

Re: Slant Magazine's 100 Greatest Horror Films Of All Time
In my opinion this list has two GLARING ommissions:
1. Phantasm
2. The Karen Black segment of Trilogy of Terror
Oh and Jaws is way too low. Shark fear is so mainstream now I think people forget how ridiculously scary Jaws was when it was first in the theaters,

It's unfortunate that Jaws hangs in the specter of the countless knockoffs and innumerable terrible and commercially crass blockbusters it spawned and the hold it's negative legacy still has over Hollywood. I watched it again recently for the first time in years, and you forget just how great a film it is. That third act is some of the best work Spielberg has ever done.

Halloween 2 1980, I think is one of the best horror movie sequals.
The Exorcist frightens me terribly.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is an interesting inclusion, I agree the movie has enough frightening/creepy moments to call it horror. I wish they had jettisoned the awful first half-hour (the mirror image Twin Peaks stuff with Chris Issak and Jack Bauer) and had the movie start right with Laura.

I also thought it was interesting how Fire Walk With Me was included.
