Sculpt 07-23-2017 12:27 PM

Tough one...

1975................1988
Jaws................Beetlejuice
Stepford Wives......They Live
Trilogy of Terror...Killer Klowns
Deep Red............Serpent and the Rainbow
Shivers.............Brain Damage
Rocky Horror........Dead Ringers
The Devil's Rain....Night of the Demons
....................Pumpkinhead
....................Child's Play
....................Waxwork
....................Vampire's Kiss
....................The Blob
....................SEVENTH SIGN
....................Phantasm 2

I think 88 keeps pace with quality and concepts, and more volume. i'll go 1988.

These sure aren't getting easier.

Psycho, Black Sunday, Peeping Tom, Eyes Without A Face, The Flesh and The Fiends.
I just had to type those out and say the titles out loud.

That's what I was thinking. That's a strong year. But 82 has some winners too.

60: Psycho, Little Shop of Horrors, Eyes Without A Face, Peeping Tom, Black Sunday
82: Thing, Poltergeist, The Entity, Creepshow, Basket Case

I'll have to go 1960.

Incessant rains for the past 45 days, floods and frequent power cuts are plaguing us around here. Half the city is under water right now, as we speak.

Sorry to hear about the flooding, V! Is your place OK? How you holding up? Are you able to get around, or do you just have to wait for the flooding to subside?

Thanks, Sculpt.

Our home is on an elevation, so no water has entered yet (although it rolls about around our gates). The road in front is completely submerged though. We are traveling around when the rains thin out - my daughter's school, my job, domestic runs - we are managing all of it.

We are used to all this by now. This place gets very heavy rains during this season every year.
