Dark Night Of The Scarecrow-Good supernatural horror with some quite believable characters though the acting was so-so but the elemental menacing mood is pretty enchanting and the gruesome death scenes were very effectively done. Recommended to atmospheric horror fans.

The Abominable Dr Phibes-Thanks to Dara for the rec. A very unique film with minimal delivery that really shows just what great presence vincent price has in his movies. The creative death scenes (including the legendary sprout juice death) are very garish and flamboyant and were certainly a direct influence to some of the puzzle solving scenes in the saw movies. Though as a warning I must say the film is aiming for an artists impression rather than story or characterization of the victims. This didn't bother me however as I couldn't help but smile at the lavishness of it all.
