Yes. I have to agree about "Nightmare On Elm Street". The concept about a killer who kills you in your dreams is brilliant. Whoever came up with that one must have felt wonderful when he realised what he had. I haven't seen "IT" but I must try to catch it. The idea of Tim Curry playing a character called Pennywise the Clown sounds really cool. I love Tim Curry but I wasn't aware that he had worked with Stephen King. I agree that Romero revolutionised both horror and end of the world movies. And didn't he do it on a fairly small budget? There have been many very expensive horror movies that are not nearly as gripping as "Night Of The Living Dead". | |
