ROUND ONE:
1919-1922-----Nosferatu 1923-1926-----The Phantom of the Opera 1927-1929-----The Man Who Laughs
1930-1932-----Frankenstein 1933-1934-----King Kong 1935-1936-----The Bride of Frankenstein 1937-1939-----Son of Frankenstein
1940-1941-----The Wolf Man 1942-1943-----Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man 1944-1945-----The Monster Maker 1946-1949-----House of Horrors/Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (tie)
1950-1954-----Creature From the Black Lagoon 1955-1956-----Invasion of the Body Snatchers/Night of the Hunter (tie) 1957-----------The Curse of Frankenstein 1958-----------Dracula 1959-----------House on Haunted Hill
1960-----------Psycho 1961-----------The Pit and the Pendulum 1962-----------Carnival of Souls 1963-----------The Birds
It's 1964, the year the fighting escalated in Vietnam, and the seeds were planted for the great change that would overtake the U.S. throughout the rest of the decade. Vote for your favorite movie from that year, and, as always, explain your choice (if you like), as well as mention any other movies you might have seen on this list, below.
We will also accept Write in Votes (although, please mention it as such) for movies not included on the list I'm getting the choices off of. However, I will not remove any from the list (I can't by that point), so, if you want to make your case why a certain movie isn't a horror film, make it. Hell, you might end up swaying a few voters from going in that direction, but I can't/won't remove it from the list or DQ it.

THE LAST MAN ON EARTH features Vincent Price giving a heart-wrenching performance as the titular man in a world of modern science-derived vampires and plays like the demo-reel for NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. How could I not vote for it?

Going with Ghidorah as well, not a great year for horror. Kwaidan is good but obscure.

Couple more hours before this poll ends and we move on to 1965.

Wow! This is the first legit shocker for me. I figured this would go to either The Last Man on Earth (as the truest adaptation to Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend," and, yes, definitely yet another stylistic (and imagery) influence on Night of the Living Dead....it got my vote) or Roger Corman's The Masque of the Red Death here. Instead, Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster wound up taking this poll. Actually, there were quite a few movies on here that I thought would do better than they did....and there was some crap that I figured might get a MST3K vote. I will say there are a couple with great titles on here: Of course, Ray Dennis Steckler's crap classic, The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies, which I imagine caused quite a theater headache at first, as how the hell would one be able to fit all that shit on a marquee. The other one is Face of the Screaming Werewolf. Never seen it, but I gotta think that the film couldn't possibly live up to that title. All right, on to 1965.
