Ballot submitted! It's more mainstream than I expected, once all was said and done, but I threw a few decent curveballs in there that will hopefully have some effect. Also, I never really considered just how many Puppet Master movies there are, but it thankfully made the top quarter of my ballot pretty much a no-brainer.

working on compiling mine and it is tough!

^ same here, plan to get it in tonight though. tomorrow maybe...

my ballot is definitely mainstream/"classical" horror (e.g., i have a few silents in there) b/c that's about as far into the horror genre as i'm normally willing to go. so there's very little of the buckets-of-blood-and-gore stuff on my ballot.

20 ballots in now. A movie I presumed would be in the top 10 finally managed to get there with the most recent batch of ballots, after languishing in the 40s or 50s for awhile now.
Still plenty of room to push your favorites into the top 100. Right now there are eight movies in there on the strength of a mere 2 ballots.

I'm going to try to get it together tonight or tomorrow -- I treat deadlines like due dates, unfortunately.

Hey Eric, did you say there might be a short extension to the voting deadline? I'm working my ass off at the moment, and don't see me whittling down my incredibly long shortlist at any time before the actual deadline day...
― emil.y, Friday, 4 May 2012 02:55 (twelve years ago) link
sort of bummed that there haven't been more responses (while still delaying my own). i guess horror fandom on ILX is a small but vocal cult.
― 10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Friday, 4 May 2012 03:05 (twelve years ago) link
I'd be unsurprised if the number of ballots doubled (tripled?) by the deadline.
― You Don't Throw Oranges On An Escalator (Deric W. Haircare), Friday, 4 May 2012 03:08 (twelve years ago) link
I don't want to encourage everyone to procrastinate, but yes, I will likely hold open the polls for an extra day or two or three.
― jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Friday, 4 May 2012 03:27 (twelve years ago) link
as u may know, EH, I have other priorities til Wednesday.

I'll probably turn in the ballot right at the deadline. Sorry!

watched begotten last night cuz it'd been forever and i remembered liking it. quite a trip, won't make my ballot.
― 10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Friday, 4 May 2012 17:27 (twelve years ago) link
Sent my ballot in. Sorry so last minute. I was hoping to see more movies before I voted.

I just sent mine in. Sorry it took so long. I was hoping to rewatch more

Been super busy with end-of-semester stuff. I have a 48-item ballot ready to go but I've been putting off finding two more films and sending it for about two weeks... argh.

i'm posting one last minute. sorry but i'm really taking my time over this, care about it even more than the psb poll tbh.

― O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Saturday, 5 May 2012 22:14 (eleven years ago) link
aggggghhh. sent. nothing i can do about it now stop looking at it.
I do want to mention/pimp 2 that I cut at the last moment because they were just not quite horror enough (more revenge story really) that would have been in my top 20, RED by lucky mckee (well kinda) and the The Horseman (not the horsemen with dennis quaid), which are both completely amazing.

Just remembered something that I left off my ballot fuuuuuuuuuck
― O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Sunday, 6 May 2012 02:09 (eleven years ago) link
Thinking about a ballot, I remembered Mute Witness. Too late for evangelizing but it can at least get onto the lower end of my 50.

also I am super drunk
Don't watch any of my horror choices right now, why, because I am a good friend
― O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Sunday, 6 May 2012 03:20 (eleven years ago) link
aaaaaallright, it's sent. horrible process. so much stuff i wanted to include but couldn't: living dead girl, ginger snaps, uzumaki, freaking dawn of the dead. sorry it's so last minute, eric, but at least i got it done. yay, me! now i'm looking forward to the results...

DONE
I'm sure I forgot something of vital importance, but I ended up with a solid list of 50 movies I really like, so I'm okay with it. I don't know if it's super MOR (probably) but I don't think anything on there will come as a surprise to anybody who knows me. Ultimately, I picked based almost entirely on gut - if I thought, "Holy shit I LOVE that movie!" about a movie, it went on the list. Top ten definitely in order, next ten or 15 sort of in order, everything after that was just free for all.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Sunday, 6 May 2012 22:14 (eleven years ago) link
Ultimately I never got around to watching most of the movies recommended here that looked great, but two I watched in preparation for this poll made it on the ballot so... success?
i think i'm done! holy crap that was arduous.
― former personal denim advisor to the mayor, (La Lechera), Sunday, 6 May 2012 22:34 (eleven years ago) link
it's like a list of my 50 favorite movies (and i had to slash and burn about 20 after the initial whittling)i didn't watch any extras because choosing from my existing favorites was plenty hard enough, i'll watch new ones later.
― former personal denim advisor to the mayor, (La Lechera), Sunday, 6 May 2012 22:35 (eleven years ago) link
Between seeing people rep for it in this thread (some who just saw it for the first time thanks to the poll) and my first-place vote, I'm looking forward to seeing a movie that I hadn't even heard of a year ago get a decent position in the results.
― You Don't Throw Oranges On An Escalator (Deric W. Haircare), Sunday, 6 May 2012 22:46 (eleven years ago) link
sent! finally..
― fishermen are coveted by whores & stoners (Pillbox), Sunday, 6 May 2012 23:12 (eleven years ago) link
and i had to slash and burn about 20 after the initial whittling - oh man, whittling mine down from like the 75 point or so was just goddam EXCRUCIATING. Hardest list I've had to make for an ilx poll by a fair margin.

Mine is going to be a last second entry. I'm finishing watching "Haxan" on Hulu tonight, and I want to rewatch a couple of other things too.
― i love the large auns pictures! (Phil D.), Sunday, 6 May 2012 23:54 (eleven years ago) link
just sent mine in! wound up voting for 40 films, somehow forgetting Dawn Of The Dead until I was searching for 1 or 2 more to fill it out. goofy mix of old and new I'm not sure I'll be able to defend the order of in a month, but unlike the comedy list, I won't think i was foolish to leave anything out. weirdly wound up with at least three from 1978 in my top 10.

About a dozen new ballots came in over the weekend. Still a good distance away from my own personal goal 50-ballot benchmark.
#1 could still go to any one of about four or five different movies.

That aside ... a hearty thank you to everyone who has turned in a ballot so far!

As long as the fringe horror nerds have made enough of an appearance to throw some monkeywrenches into the results with their weird and obscure horror movie choices, I'll be happy. The less these poll results look like boilerplate AFI lists, the better, imo.
― You Don't Throw Oranges On An Escalator (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 7 May 2012 12:48 (eleven years ago) link
I can tell you there are some movies whose placements (so far) are surprisingly high; others even more surprisingly low. One or two movies in the current top 10 are somewhat surprising to me too. Didn't realize Jack Frost was so highly regarded.
