Night of the Living Dead is not only my favorite horror film but it's one of the most important films to date. It's shaped the horror culture in so many ways. If Nosferatu brought on the vampire movement you can be damn well sure Night of the Living Dead brought on the zombie movement. The subtext of racism and human decay have a lasting imprint and it's one that's important to me. I think the one that's probably the most significant is The Exorcist though but it's never been my cup of tea. I also really enjoy almost anything adapted originally from Stephen King: Thinner, The Shining, The Mist, etc. Great films, even though The Shining was not a direct adaptation of The Shining as it was originally written.
