Great poll! I love good (and downright bad) horror movies.
Still think, and I suspect that I may be in the minority, that Brian Cox was the definitive Hannibal Lector though!

Damnit! I hit the vote buttone so quick I didn't realize I could have voted for 2. So who else voted for Damien?

And this would be that point, crossed and irreversible:

Producer Dino De Laurentiis is preparing yet another Hannibal Lecter film, but this time directly with the cannibal's creator, novelist Thomas Harris. Titled “The Lecter Variation: The Story of Young Hannibal Lector” and will follow Hannibal as he makes his way from his childhood in Lithuania up through his time in France as a teenager and ending when he comes to the United States. Harris will be writing the screenplay himself as well as a novel version. Universal will be distributing the film and there's no word on when it will come to fruition.

I suppose it's only a matter of time before they make "Hannibal Lecter and the Last Buffet"

I'm done with Hannibal, I didn't really need to know why he ate people and all that. All that backstory works against the character as far as I'm concerned.
I'd like to give a shout out to all George Romero's zombies, who have pursued me through half a lifetime's worth of nightmares. Anyone else have the zombie-fighting dreams?

I think a good chunk of the blame has to go to writer Thomas Harris. I've gotten the impression that something about his success has turned him sour on the character.

I never had nightmares over them (don't really remember ever having a nightmare) but I'll tell you something that gave me the creeps when I first say Dawn of the Dead. I was about 13 or 14 (could have been 12) and we went to a midnight showing of it in Twin Falls, ID (the closest 'big city' to the little town in Nevada I grew up in). I loved, and still do, horror movies and this was the creepiest one I had seen up to that point in my life. When the movie let out we had to exit out the back of the theater. And the back exit took you right next to a graveyard. Someone either planned this or it was just a bunch of drunk teenagers, but there were a number of kids messing around in the graveyard that night, just waiting to scare the hell out of the people leaving the movie. Cause a mini-panic and scared my mom who I'd never seen scared before. I'll always remember that when I watch DotD.
