Lists

From the house

• Best final girls

  6 films

  Carol Clover named her in 1992. These are the ones the films actually earn.

  

• Start with the list

  6 films

  Six of the DPP 72 that are worth your evening on their own merits, not as historical curiosities.

  

• Gateway horror for people who do not like horror

  6 films

  Films that work as films first. Nothing here will punish somebody for being talked into it.

  

• The practical effects shelf

  6 films

  Latex, foam, air bladders and karo syrup. The argument is not nostalgia, it is that the light falls on it correctly.

  

• Nearly bloodless and devastating

  6 films

  For the argument that horror needs gore. Almost nothing on this list is red.

  

• The DPP 72 at its most indefensible

  6 films

  Not a recommendation. These are on the site because a partial list is worth nothing, and this is what the bottom of it looks like.
