Duel 1971



Let's Scare Jessica to Death 1971



The Legend of Lizzie Borden 1975




Salem's Lot 1979




Dark Night of the Scarecrow 1981



Buried Alive 1989, 1990 with Tim Matheson and Jennifer Jason Leigh




I'm positive that there are several movies that I've forgotten to mention that aren't in the horror or thriller category.

I worked all day today and my brain is fried. Also, my desktop PC is being totally obnoxious and acting up like a complete fucko.

Thank you for understanding.
