'Tis the season to be gory, as modern exploitation movies like the remade I Spit on Your Grave and the unrated Hatchet II hit the cineplex during the annual run-up to Halloween mayhem.
Honoring the genre last month, Wired.com rounded up our favorite classic B movies and invited readers to reveal their favorites. The result? An avalanche of more than 100 titles, ranging from obscure goof-fests like Evil Bong and Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead to genre classics The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Blacula and Night of the Living Dead.
Here's a sampling of the freakiest exploitation films ever, as picked by you.

Two Thousand Maniacs!
The best exploitation flick of all time, without a doubt, has to be Two Thousand Maniacs!, directed by the great Herschell Gordon Lewis, the "Godfather of Gore." —fstrjon
I can remember my mom taking me to see Two Thousand Maniacs! I have only seen it one time, so I'd love to see it again. —jamesallan
