Why am I not seeing The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) on any of these lists?

Also a fan of The Pit and the Pendulum (1961) with Vincent Price.

JANNIE TOTSIENS*
THE STICK
DUST DEVIL
THE HAUNTING (1963)
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (1980)
HOUSE OF THE LONG SHADOWS
PSYCHO
THE BELIEVERS (1987)
EYES WITHOUT A FACE / LES YIEUX SANS VISAGE*
THE SHADOWED MIND
THE MEDUSA TOUCH
THE HITCHER (1986)
RACE WITH THE DEVIL
HALLOWEEN (1978)
THE BIRDS
PHANTASM
THE WICKER MAN (1973)
THE OMEN
HORROR EXPRESS
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
THE EXORCIST
SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN
EVENT HORIZON
WITCHFINDER GENERAL / THE CONQUEROR WORM

Some of these - like The Medusa Touch, The Believers and The Hitcher - are not really classed as horror films but those three disturbed me to the point where I was actually shaking. I have only ever seen The Hitcher once.



I removed SAW and replaced it with EVENT HORIZON.

I can't believe I forgot about When A Stranger Calls.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
