It's still on the list.

DJP's right. I love horror, but only my top 20 are going to be meaningful.
― fka snush (remy bean), Thursday, 5 April 2012 17:22 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, I've got no love for people who vote in a horror movie poll that can't name at least 20 movies.
I can easily think of 20 canonical horror movies but I haven't seen all of them so I therefore wouldn't vote for them
like, I've never seen the entirety of the first Friday the 13th, or the first Halloween, or the first Nightmare on Elm Street, to throw out some obvious from-our-generation examples

I don't think you should go with ascending points. That would just lead to the crappier well-known films getting a few more votes that they don't need and sending me into extra-Morbsian apoplexy.
Not sure about minimum votes, either, but wouldn't necessarily oppose it.
And Picnic at Hanging Rock is definitely a horror film.

it's a list of 20 horror movies you enjoyed, not "20 canonical horror movies"

I won't put any rules into place until after the noms/discussion period is done.

man I really hated the Beloved movie. but I think loving the book so much just automatically set me up to be disappointed.

I'm old, employed, and can probably make a ballot of 100 horror movies. Someone's setting up straw dogs men.

Arguably walking a very slippery slope, but I kind of agree. Particularly from the POV of the kids.

man i am obv not a good judge of this, but looking at the expansion of noms i find it nearly impossible to imagine that anyone wont be able to at least list 20 films

Yeah, there will be a minimum on the ballots for sure. Just have to decide whether it's 10, 20, 25, more?

I have such a soft spot for gargoyles, hugely fascinating to me as a kid. it's a terrible movie no doubt, but AP otm in that the first half has some genuinely creepy moments with those gargoyle incursions into the human world. and if I have not hallucinated this, I believe bernie casey as the winged king gargoyle astride a horse is one of the most bizarre and wondrous visions beamed into american households of the 70s. def a movie for ppl whose fav part of wizard of oz were the flying monkeys.

I'll have a few pre-'60. I don't think anything silent, though. (Possibly Caligari just for its weirdness.)

What are some all time movies that horror fans would know but would probably be obscure to a relatively mainstream audience?
I will try to watch some of these so as to give consideration to things that should place high.

also I guess this is fair
nosferatu: phantom der nacht (1979)
lol okay I just went through and I've seen at least 29 of the movies on the nomination list
I wouldn't vote for them all but 20 no longer seems like an insurmountable list

that list was the list of horror movies that i rated 10 stars on imdb within however long imdb keeps ratings (and yes that includes rubber)
