Yeah, there's no way they don't include one of the best films of the entire genre.

Best of 1988:
Lair of the White Worm
Pumpkinhead
The Serpent and the Rainbow
Brain Damage

The image of a skinless woman looking around in serene wonder at the material world alone would justify its inclusion, in my opinion - but I did note that this list stayed away from sequels (other than Bride).

That was goddamn magnificent. I actually kinda teared up a few times.

Let's put Return of the Living Dead in there too - still one of the best at skating on the thin line between laughs and chills. And of course we had Troma, who I still consider as much a comedy studio as anything else.

Unfriended is a good flick, but it's no slasher. It's a ghost story, told with a novel technique with its closest parallels in found footage. For good slashers over the past decade or so, You're Next stands out for me as being genre-savvy without sacrificing an iota of impact. There's lots of good stuff lately that…

Knife to my throat, I'd say the real successor to what Scream was trying to do is Behind The Mask. It's a metacommentary surveying the entire history of the slasher genre while recontextualizing its tropes for dramatic purposes, and just like Scream it tries to have its cake and eat it too. (And, in my opinion, more…

I'm always stunned by how rarely Night of the Creeps comes up when discussing the influences in Slither. The whole fifties BEM vibe mashed with Romero and all played as much for laughs as for creepiness - even beyond the fact that both films have virtually the exact same monster, there's so much linking the two.

Didn't know, my sincere apologies. I'll redact it for the sake of others as well.

I've very much appreciated that Samaritan's stewardship has actually been a net gain so far for humanity, and that Greer, despite all his zealotry, always makes pretty sound, discomfiting points for life under the Thumb.

Loved this so much. I'm one of the people who really liked the pilot, enough to think, "Yeah, there's some real promise here, I think I'll keep watching this", and that Fusco ends here grappling with being a better man and possibly sparing this dude is a great illustration of his growth. Of course, Lionel now has to…

The voice code is Harold delaying this huge moral choice - a choice between the flawed decisions of humanity versus the Manichean practicality of an ASI's bootheel - as long as possible. It also may be a bit of a test, to see if The Machine's own decision making (and knowledge of humanity, namely Finch himself) and…

Any Root without that insane mane ain't the Root we know.

I feel like I've been spoiled. Awesome.

Perhaps a merge is the only possible victory.

I have to say it, even if it gets drowned out - Miss Ferguson, your review was excellent, full of insight, affection, and due criticism. I remember really liking your guest review, as well. It's too bad Alexa couldn't take us to the end, but a reviewer of your quality is a fine companion to this community's last…

Why he would sacrifice himself made perfect sense.
How he sacrificed himself didn't.

"As funny as Fusco" is I think what you're searching for.

It's also not so much a secret that the Emmys are pure irrelevant garbage, almost completely without merit, and in no way a reflection of the best of "Peak TV". I care much more about PoI nabbing a Hugo nomination than that Emmy bullshit.
