Time to finish up 1977 with the remaining horror/horror related movies from that year. 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.

Orca

[Big DSR Energy]

SHOCK gets my vote because it's the final Mario Bava directorial effort released to theaters before his passing AND because it's a really cool story of a young boy being possessed by the spirit of his dead father and causing havoc for his mother.

Also noteworthy is THE SENTINEL, a religious-themed horror with cameos by young Jeff Goldblum and Christopher Walken.

And SUSPIRIA, Dario Argento's horror-as-art masterpiece that I'm assuming will get a lot of votes, but I've been surprised before in this thing. *shrug*

Suspiria has my vote, great film and very original.

Kingdom of the Spiders is stupid Shatner fun.

An hour left on this poll.

WITCH!!! It looks like Suspiria is going on to Round Two, although, there was some love given to other movies in this list as well. I voted for Suspiria as well, as I consider it to be Dario Argento's masterpiece. Such a beautiful looking movie, and pretty damn brutal for 1977.


Orca was a pretty solid "Nature Goes Wild" movie, although, in this case, the "Nature" has a REALLY solid reason to start taking people out. Good stuff.


Two movies I'm surprised that got overlooked were Rabid (David Cronenberg's second major horror film, combining his beloved "Body Horror" sub genre with the zombie-esque sub genre) and Shockwaves (Nazi zombies start taking out people on an island....really eerie atmosphere for this one).


Okay, onto the first half of 1978, and some TOUGH choices.
