Time to finish up 1976, where we will see As always, vote for your favorite movie from this part of this 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 OMEN is a fine film, but I'd rather throw my vote to Jesus Franco directing Klaus Kinski as JACK THE RIPPER.

[Duke Cameron]

The Omen

[Joker]

Time for worms to be recognised! Vote squirm!

Or The Omen that is good too

[BrodietheSlayer]

A little under two hours left for this poll, and The Omen is winning....but not by a lot. A dark horse could rise up to stop Satan's spawn from moving on to the next round.

As I figured, The Omen ended up taking this, as it was definitely the biggest film on this list. It is a good movie. Not the one I voted for, but a good movie all the same.

No, I voted for The Town That Dreaded Sundown, which was about a real life killer that went on a rampage in a small Texarkana town. This movie has some fantastic moments of tension that makes one think of the formula that slasher movies would soon adapt vs. most "true crime" movies from this period. Plus, the killer's look inspired a future slasher's look for at least one of the movies in said killer's series.




All right....onto 1977.
