Re-Animator just barely beats out Return of the Living Dead for me.

Equinox or I Drink Your Blood. Dammit. I'll go with I Drink Your Blood.
I collect dead pigeons then I press them between the pages of a book.
The only movie from 1970 I have rated higher than I Drink Your Blood is The Honeymoon Killers. IMDb doesn't have it listed as horror, but I don't know, I think it may qualify.
"You gotta punch the clock, why don't you punch your boss?"
Yeah, that's an excellent one as well.

Wake In Fright if you consider it horror, otherwise The Brotherhood of Satan.
I've never seen Wake in Fright. I don't remember Brotherhood of Satan at all, but I have it rated at 2/10, so I must have hated it. π

No sweat, man... I'm usually at odd, opinion-wise, with those around me.
Def. check Wake In Fright though- it's the bomb and features an excellent performance by Donald Pleasence.

I shall. I've heard a lot about it, and I see it's from the same director as First Blood and Weekend at Bernie's, so how bad could it be? ξ

"Wake in Fright" is a classic film worthy of Somerset Maugham, Conrad, or Faulkner. As descent into corruption in a haze of fear and alcoholism. A film that plumbs moral anarchism as a primal force. Beautiful and stunningly acted. Yet so hard to own!
