The Disco 70s Horror Tournament
 

I was all prepared a couple months back with this, but then the renovations around my residential area put it off for a bit. And I know most of you are really excited by the mouth-watering prospects of this tournament. Heck, just reading the title brings a sparkle to the eyes.

So, without further ado, lets swing the clock back 30-35 years, and relive the modern masterpieces which re-defined modern horror in their glorious times.
