Anti-Christmas is an example of his pathos, understated humor, and sense of horror. And a fine portrait of America in the 1970s.
Concerning Coppola's Dracula, it is interesting to see, Platypus, how close our impressions of it are. And I agree that if its title was not hubris, it was (even more likely) false advertising.
Sawfish, perhaps we look for different things. I have principles about horror and the supernatural. Maybe you enjoy entertainment in a wider sense, and that it doesn't necessarily need to stick conservatively to form or genre? Are you particularly and actively attracted to supernatural horror and fantasy in literature and film, or do you more generally seek
good literature and film? Your reading seems to reach far beyond the horror/sf/f genre. I very rarely go outside of the genre. I need that supernatural element.
