We're starting to get into that territory where at least one film from each year happens to also be one of my top ten all time fave horror films ever. So begins my particular peak of horror obsession. These are the films which imprinted their blood-soaked flickering images on my impressionable baby weirdo mind. I was raised by this shit. Suspiria is my favorite foreign horror film hands down. It is also in my top five of all time fave horror films. It is a color-soaked fever dream of a creepy film. Plus the soundtrack by Goblin is my favorite film score period. Have I said the word favorite enough? Plus we got creepy cannibal hill people and underwater undead Nazis on the list. What's scarier than those things? Not much.
1977
1. Suspiria (Directed by Dario Argento)
IMDB plot: An American newcomer to a prestigious German ballet academy comes to realize that the school is a front for something sinister amid a series of grisly murders.
2. The Hills Have Eyes (Directed by Wes Craven)
IMDB plot: On the way to California, a family has the misfortune to have their car break down in an area closed to the public, and inhabited by violent savages ready to attack.
3. Shock Waves (Directed Ken Wiederhorn)
IMDB plot: Visitors to a remote island discover that a reclusive Nazi commandant has been breeding a group of Zombie soldiers.
Okay so my third pick was a bit of a curveball but I love watching it. (I don't believe in guilty pleasure, if you like it own it). See you tomorrow creeps for 1978. It's a doozy.
