Okay, I figured they were all different... which makes me want to visit all of them. In Houston it's an entire radio station that has been gradually sucked into an interdimensional vortex and eventually you travel through the station and through the vortex into a groovy alien city.  It is something else entirely, to say the least.

Has CHAT bot seen any films before 1990?

I fed ChatGPT your list, and this is it's ranking, including commentary:

1. Psycho (1960) – Hitchcock's masterpiece; arguably the most influential horror film ever made.

2. The Exorcist (1973) – Redefined horror in mainstream cinema; massive cultural impact.

3. Night of the Living Dead (1969) – Invented the modern zombie and revolutionized independent horror.

4. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) – Monumental in horror history, shaping slasher and grindhouse traditions.

5. The Thing (1982) – From flop to critical darling; now a hugely influential horror/sci-fi landmark.

6. Nosferatu (1922) – The most important silent horror film after Caligari, deeply influential on vampire cinema.

7. Dracula (1931) – Made Bela Lugosi an icon; foundational for Hollywood horror.

8. The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) – The crown jewel of Universal horror; acclaimed as high art.

9. M (1931) – Lang's masterpiece; major influence on thrillers, noir, and horror aesthetics.

10. The Birds (1963) – Hitchcock again; technically groundbreaking and culturally iconic.

11. Eraserhead (1977) – Lynch's breakthrough; hugely important for experimental and independent cinema.

12. Repulsion (1965) – Polanski's arthouse horror landmark, massively influential on psychological horror.

13. Deep Red (1975) – Giallo masterpiece, highly influential on Italian and global horror.

14. The Haunting (1963) – Still regarded as one of the greatest haunted house films ever made.

15. Vampyr (1933) – Dreyer's surreal horror classic, revered in film studies and art cinema.

16. Son of Frankenstein (1939) – Cemented Karloff's monster; influential on later Gothic horror.

17. Black Sunday (1960) – Bava's masterpiece; pivotal for Italian horror cinema.

18. Island of Lost Souls (1932) – Early body-horror landmark; shocking for its time.

19. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932) – March's Oscar-winning performance made it a prestige horror landmark.

20. White Zombie (1932) – First zombie film; modest but important for the subgenre's history.

21. The Devil's Rejects (2005) – Rob Zombie's best-regarded work; influential within modern exploitation-horror.

22. Hausu (1977) – Once obscure, now celebrated; influential mainly for avant-garde horror.

23. Alucarda (1976) – Acclaimed in cult horror circles; influence largely underground.

24. Gates of Hell (1981) – Fulci's surreal gore landmark; more influential on gore fans than mainstream.

25. Gozu (2003) – Miike's surreal cult piece; important within his oeuvre but niche globally.

26. I Drink Your Blood (1970) – Drive-in cult hit; historically notable for early NC-17 gore, but little wider influence.

27. Burial Ground: Nights of Terror (1981) – Beloved cult trash, but minimal critical or historical weight.

28. Moebius (2018) – Underground acclaim, but very limited in influence or recognition.

29. Mad Love (1935) – Lorre's standout role; historically interesting but minor overall.

30. The Raven (1935) – Famous actors, but overshadowed by bigger Universal horror classics.

31. The House That Jack Built (2018) – Provocative, but too recent and divisive to rank higher in influence.

Yeah. Cape Fear is more of a thriller than horror. I like it though.

5/5 if you are a pinball fan, probably boring and depressing if you aren't

dunno, I never found Donkey Kong enjoyable but KING OF KONG was great!

always found real life pinball machines way too unfair and difficult, but I got addicted to the built-in pinball game you used to get with old pc's circa about 2003... I remember once at a job I had, the boss came over to me and pretty much yanked the mouse out of my hand and closed the window screen then walked away without saying a word (when I should've been working)
