I would very much like Morbs to get in a ballot, as I'm hoping he might bump up some of the older stuff (not an age joke). Although I'd like oddities to make it in, and I don't really give a shit about established canon, I'll definitely be annoyed if there's barely anything pre-50s...

agree w/ all this. tho there are over 10 canon films from the 60s/70s I dropped from my ballot to make room for other stuff, my breakdown by decade still looks like:
20s - 230s - 240s - 150s - 360s - 770s - 1880s - 890s - 500s - 4
apparently 1973 was the most horrifying year on record, and, with one off-the-wall exception, all my post 80s picks ended up being non-US.

kino's blu-ray of ganja and hess came out yesterday. one of my last ballot cuts.

Burton's Dark Shadows is set in 1972, which explains why it's not horrifying I guess.

Man. Listening to Mancini's score to Lifeforce right now and it's so damn good. Meant to see the movie in time for this poll, but a long visit from the mother-in-law prevented that. Maybe I'd have ended up with three Tobe Hooper joints on my ballot instead of two...

OK, I'm calling it. Balloting is officially closed ...
UNLESS you can provide me a compelling excuse for your tardy ballot while I await Morbs' ballot, which I granted an extension. If I like your story enough and you're reasonably hasty, I'll let it slide.

I think the results have their fair share of happy surprises, though one or two of them are going to test my ability to remain neutral as the "host."

Speaking of hints, could you maybe just throw us a bone and, I dunno, post the entirety of the results thus far? I mean just real quick. Thanks so much!

Surely that should be "one or two of them are going to test my ability to remain neutral as The Host"?

LOL, oh man, I should roll each and every result out in the style of an EC host. That could get tiresome after the first seven or eight.
