"The Films Below is a list of roughly one hundred fantasy/ horror films tied together by their time and their excellence. All were released during the period 1950–1980, and all of them seem to me to be particularly interesting in one way or another; if I may say so without sounding like an Academy Awards presenter, all of them have contributed something of value to the genre. You will find my own personal favorites marked with an asterisk (*). Special thanks are due to Kirby McCauley, who provided invaluable help with the list." - Stephen King, Danse Macabre
