Haha Puppet Master requires a big commitment. There's like 14 or 15 of those right? I've never seen them but Full Moon always has a deal on the boxset and I'm always tempted to pick it up when they do.
Bubba Ho-Tep is such a weird one but it's a favorite of mine. I finally got my writeup of it even though I watched it back on the 1st haha. I've got the movie watching part down but I'm a terrible writer so I've been procrastinating that part. I need to step it up because I'm being a bad contest host lol.
I'm so glad you mentioned Exorcist, that's another genre classic that I haven't gotten to yet. I'm putting that one in the watch pile for this month.
WiseAgent's breakdown into decades was an awesome idea! I really wanted to do theme nights or weeks (zombie week, slasher week, etc) but I was afraid I wouldn't get enough participants. So far it's just you and one other person so keeping my rules simple may have been the way to go until I make more friends on here. Hopefully next year I can make it a little more involved.
If you don't mind me throwing some suggestions at you I'm pretty fond of 90's horror since that's pretty much the time period I was growing up during. There's the famous ones like the one you mentioned, Scream. You also have Silence of the Lambs, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Frighteners, Army of Darkness and Misery.
For more off the beaten path, check out another one of my all time favorites, Cemetery Man. Guillermo Del Toro also came out with his debut films Cronos and Mimic which are good. I'm probably forgetting some good ones but the 90's has a decent collection of films. It may not be up there with other decades but it has it's gems.
