WrathOfHan Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) For a while, I've wanted to do a horror countdown. It's one of my favorite genres (possibly my favorite), and there are so many different types of horror films out there. After the interest in @Brainbug and @baumer's own personal countdowns, I knew I had to finally do the forum-wide one I've wanted to do for a while! The Rules 2018 movies released before September are eligible. Yes, this means you won't be able to vote for Halloween, The Nun, or Hell Fest, but Strangers: Prey at Night and Blumhouse's Truth or Dare are all eligible among other movies! If a lot of people have an issue with 2018 movies being eligible, I will consider changing this rule. If it's listed as horror on IMDb, Letterboxd, or Wikipedia, it's eligible. I know there are movies like The Silence of the Lambs that some don't consider horror, but if any of those three sites consider it a horror film, it's fair game. If you have a movie in mind that isn't listed in the genre, post it in here, and I may make it eligible depending on my own thoughts and what the rest of the forum considers it. You may edit your list up until the deadline. Post your lists in this thread. I don't know if I'll have an account with enough inbox space close to the deadline Scoring #1: 12 points #2-5: 9 points #6-10: 8 points #11-15: 7 points #16-20: 6 points #21-25: 5 points #26-30: 4 points #31-40: 3 points #41-45: 2 points #46-50: 1 points If you submit 25 or fewer movies, point values will be cut in half. If you submit more than 25 but less than 50, standard points still apply. If you only submit a top 10, each film will get the corresponding category value. Lists with less than 10 movies will not be allowed. The deadline is Friday October 19 at 11:59 PM Eastern You have over 3 months to watch horror movies, so take advantage of this time! Baumer said this thread will be moved to the Speakeasy in a few days, so this is just a very early heads up Edited June 26, 2018 by WrathOfHan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Ok, so this will be pinned for one week, then we will move it to the Speakeasy. For those of you who did not catch the horror thread that @Brainbug started and I continued with, here is the link. Here's the link, as well, the one that we did in 2012. This is a great idea from @WrathOfHan...hopefully you guys remember there are classic horror films that were here long before films like Babadook and Hereditary and Get Out. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This especially (all three of which may or may not be on my list ). The Criterion sale is starting next week at Barnes and Noble, and there's plenty of great horror flicks in there to get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) My main FYC: This missing the top 100 was a CRIME. Texas Chain Saw Massacre is another one that should not have missed. Also, let's make Black Swan and mother! happen Edited June 26, 2018 by WrathOfHan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
