True, but it's still an influential horror film. It's just too bad it didn't make the list.

I'm a little surprised The Legend of Boggy Creek isn't on here. It grossed $22 million in 1972 and was the 7th highest grossing movie of the year. It pretty much single handedly kicked off the wave of Bigfoot movies in the 70's.

this list reminds me of just how bad they need to make a list strictly for giallo films
