    You really have to appreciate the stunt and special effects work on the Maniac Cop trilogy though. Seriously, in 3 they start the movie with him being on fire for a good twenty minutes. You know the regulations for setting stunt men on fire is they have to be put out after a minute. That means they must have had to set someone or some group of stuntmen on fire more than a hundred times to get that footage. I've never seen anybody be on fire for that long in cinema history. It was super impressive. Almost as good as the handcuffed girl on the moving car in 2.
    Top 10 Horror Films Of 1990
    1. Predator 2 - good film, third best predator film after the original and Predators
    2. Tremors - great film
    3. Gremlins 2- okay film
    4. It - good film, liked it a lot more than the remake
    5. Psycho 4: The Beginning - my favorite Psycho
    6. Maniac Cop 2- Shouldn't be below Gremlins 2 or Predator 2, masterpiece, when he throws that chick through the window and she comes out with the chainsaw which he catches in the palm of his hand, damn. And then that scene where he's killing everybody in the police station like Terminator. Outstanding horror film, like Tremors. Superlative.
    7. Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3
    8. Night Of The Living Dead- I liked this remake better than the original.
    9. Misery - number 9, you dirty birdy, someone's gonna box your ankles
    10. Exorcist III: Legion

    Top 10 Horror Films Of 1989
    1. The Burbs - yeah, but it's comedy. It's like Abbot and Costello meet the wolf man, or Arsenic and Old Lace.
    2. Puppet Master
    3. Pet Sematary- honestly, I didn't like this one and thought it was stupid. If a baby or a pet came back to life I would **** it up easily. I laughed my head off in the end when he goes and buries his dead wife. "I just didn't do it soon enough last time."
    4. The Church
    5. House Of Clocks
    6. Warlock - didn't we already do warlock?
    7. Friday The 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan - I kind of like this one. The best part was when the black kid decides to box Jason. He's lighting him up while Jason just stands there impassively and then knocks his head off with one punch. It was funny, like when the guy is riding on a motorcycle in the woods and Jason decapitates him with a machete, or like when Mike Meyers takes that dude's rifle away from him and impales him with it.

    I wasn't thrilled with Predators, it was solid for the first hour or so, but it lost me after that, whereas Predator 2 remains compelling from start to finish, granted I've seen Predator 2 about 8 times and only seen Predators once.

    Psycho 4 for being a Showtime original movie, is painfully underrated, I wouldn't say it was the best, Part 1 an 2 are hard to top, but 4 is absolutely remarkable for what it is. It helps it was directed by Mick Garris, the director of The Stand the decent Shining TV miniseries.

    As far as It and the NOTLD remake go, same here. Couldn't agree more on the Maniac Cop series. Wasn't a fan of Misery, sue me. Can't stand Kathy Bates and I hate James Caan, and the story itself bothers me, so its not my idea of a fun time.

    Burbs is one of several horror comedy hybrids that are going to make my lists. As long as they have a sincere horror element, they count.

    Pet Sematary unnerved the **** out of me when I was a kid, I literally cringed and contorted my entire body in discomfort when Fred Gwynne takes the straight razor to the Achilles.:lol: Its one of the few films that legit disturbed the hell out of me as a child.

    I made a mistake and left the Part 2 off of the first Warlock I put down, whoops.:lol:

    FT13th 8 is along with Part 5, easily the least of the original 8 films, but even then its compulsively watchable and damn fun for the reasons you listed. Although I'd have preferred it if they stayed on the boat a little longer, and the end hadn't sucked balls.
