THE VAULT OF ILX Top 100 HORROR Movies Poll Voting Thread (voting closes May 9 *~*~*~*2012*~*~*~*)

I also just want to make sure that I have the blessing from pillbox too, since he's working on the image files.

Either way, though, this project needs a ballot from Mr. Hal Jam!

as much as I'm raring to see the results, I can think of none more worthy of a dispensation from the horror gods than mr hal jam

yeah, why not? one more day couldn't hurt, and hal jam really oughtta be represented in here.

as long as pillbox isn't setting his computer on fire in protest

awwwww! you guyz (and galz)!

I want to see a Hal jam ballot but part of me does have kind of a cancelled Christmas feeling about tomorrows results being delayed

Maybe the bottom 10 or 15 won't change and then everyone wins

Hey Eric, you aren't rolling out any results on Saturday/Sunday are you? I am out of town celebrating my anniversary this weekend and I want to be sure to be around to complain abt pontypool when it places

If anything changes markedly, it will likely be the bottom 10 or 20.

is Grizzly Park really on this ballot? Really!?!

No, I'm only doing weekdays. So maybe the way things turn out now, I'll do the first 30 on Thursday and Friday and the remaining spread across all five days next week?

i should have my ballot to Eric within the next half-hr. going fairly old-school, so i doubt it'll shake up the SQ all that much. nor should it require for more img sourcing.

Good to know; if that's the case, I bet it won't affect too many of the tiles that are already shelled out.

(Right now, I only have the first batch of 15 and I think pillbox was finalizing the next 15 last night.)

(Which, by the way, I think the images Pillbox has worked up are gorgeous. He's going to deserve the lions share of credit for the success of this poll.)

if pillbox doesn't wanna or can't redo the tiles, and that should really be the deciding factor here, then maybe just include a note where HJ's ballot would change the rankings?

Yup, I've emailed him and await his verdict.

well this is a fine turn up for the books :) plus i'm off work thursday so that's a great day for the countdown to begin.

who is this HalJam-come-lately?

If Eric is a list queen, you are all ladies-in-waiting.

I for one would like all spring/summer list projects to be announced by March next year, so I can decide whether to order MLB.com for the season.

HalJam is Claudio Fragasso

hal is a ravenous horror junkie and drive-by poster who dropped science in the post-2005 horror thread

and on the year-by year polls

I am a mere Eve Harrington to Mr. Hal Jam's Margo Channing.

well, you can put that honor where your telltale heart should be.

oooh, so close. i am Bruno Mattei. who is Morbo Channing? oh and ballot submitted. apologies to two directors who just didn't make the cut. you know who you are.

damn, that was fast. took me like three weeks!

I want to be sure to be around to complain abt pontypool when it places

I got yr back on this, don't worry

and i'll sink your battleship

hey guys - just fyi for those wondering abt my continuing progress on the screencap tiles & how it might be effected by the unexpected late-game Hal Jam factor, I'm happy to report that only some slight numerical rejiggering will be required & there will be no substantial revision otherwise - a small price to pay inho for the sagelike contributions and general presence of ilx's most elusive titan of horror standom!

In other words, it is still game-on in my corner. Let's do this thing!

awesome!

I am feeling antsy and impatient, but it isn't gonna kill me. Or at least, it might not. I dunno. I might have caught some sort of rage disease which will explode inside my head, splattering my brain across the entire poll.

yay

xps

So are results rolling out tomorrow then?

Also I will have to be out of the loop on Friday, but that is because I will be hanging out at the site of one if minnesotas most infamous murders so I will be here in spirit

I think all systems are likely go for a Wednesday launch imo.

Set your alarm for 5:00 a.m.: you must start it up sometime during the hour of the wolf.

(Which, by the way, I think the images Pillbox has worked up are gorgeous. He's going to deserve the lions share of credit for the success of this poll.)

the procurement of thematically resonant and illustrative visual materials is something this poll, of all polls, deserves especially - i have simply tried to rise to the occasion, the process of which has been frankly a blast, if also rather exhausting. But make no mistake, Eric. I am but a bit player to your cackling ringleader in this Grand Guignol of delirium and atrocity!

I think all systems are likely go for a Wednesday launch imo.

yay! hopefully during Vargtimmen too!!

Just need to get on my feet at work and then I can begin.

Found Crowhaven Farm on YouTube; transferred it to a USB and watched it on TV. Another one, like Something Evil, I vaguely remember watching when it originally aired. Rosemary's Baby pilfering notwithstanding (mixed in with a bit of The Lottery), still creepy--and a little confusing, and almost borderline pedophiliac at times. Between this, Rosemary's Baby, Something Evil, and The Exorcist, why did kids suddenly become so terrifying in the late-'60s/early-'70s?

Going to watch The People with Kim Darby next.

Thanks. Recognized the Trilogy of Terror still right away...There are a bunch of these on YouTube, although the quality varies: She Waits with Patty Duke, The Horror at 37,000 Feet with a big airplane, When Michael Calls, etc.

Hope Lange sure was beautiful. Never knew she was married to Alan J. Pakula.

Shame The VVitch isn't on the list

Also - Braindead is on here twice.

Anyway - I voted, and pretty happy with my ballot :-)

The Witch wasn't out 4 years ago
