I like to wallow in trash as much as the next horror fan, but Fulci is just too sadistic for my taste
Then what "trash" do you consider palatable by comparison to Fulci?

Assuming you wouldn't go near any D'Amato or Deodato for the same sadistic reasons, are you talking Revenge of the Killer Tomatoes and suchlike?

Tim Burton

Just got off watchin the DVD of "Sleepy Hollow" and must admit that Tim Burton is a fantastic director...

If anyone has seen his work in the early "Beetlejuice" and then "Edward Scissorhands", "Batman", "Batman Returns", "Sleepy Hollow", etc., he has a vision for the darker side of the characterization of a movie, as well as the gothic parts of a storyline...I was disappointed a bit from "Planet of the Apes" but givin him some leeway that it was one of his off-days as a director...

Batman was an awesome character when he was at the helm handling it...Edward Scissorhands generated sympathy and empathy alike, and not disgust and loathin which one would feel if one comes across such a character...and Sleepy Hollow...well its creepy, dark and immensely gothic..."HEADS WILL ROLL"...geebuz its so true when you count the number of heads which roll throughout the movie...

He's way up there with Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Sam Raimi and the rest when it comes to unparalleled direction, and for me I would place "Sleepy Hollow" right beside such classics as "Evil Dead", "Halloween", "TCM", "Friday the 13th" and so on...wtg Tim hope your work doesnt cool off like in "Planet of the Apes" and we get to see some seriously good ones from you in the near future....

Sleepy Hollow is very effective, and you must admire Burton's eye for gothic style.

But whether he could make a decent horror movie (or even movie, for that matter) shorn of the gloss he drenches his work in remains to be seen.

What about the great Alfred Hitchcock
- though his only horror movies were Psycho
and The Birds.
