Time to finish up with 1983. 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.

VIDEODROME is iconic. Had to vote for it. Only other thing that came close was CURTAINS, one of my favorite slashers.

Curtains

Sorry I haven't been able to do my little warning posts the last couple nights....I'll try to work on that starting tomorrow. However, I don't think it would have changed the outcome, as Videodrome (deservingly) has it in the bag. It is a fantastic film, and clear demonstration of the fact that this was David Cronenberg at the height of his filmmaking powers. He'll produce some great films over the next few years as well.

Curtains is a cool little slasher with a GREAT advertisement campaign/poster. Great stuff. One Dark Night is a pretty cool little spin on the whole zombie thing. Finally, The House on Sorority Row is an OK slasher. Watchable, but nothing special. It's clear we're at the end of the first slasher wave. That's OK, replenishment will come next year, which will kick us into the second slasher wave.


Speaking of....
