Tales From The ILX Top 100 Horror Movies Poll Discussion/Nominations Thread

the '63 sequel children of the damned also worthwhile iirc

I'll probably skip Cannibal Holocaust. I really want to have seen it, but I don't want to actually see it.

when i was a kid i loved all those stephen king movies but as an adult i've only really retained any love for carrie, the others just seem so tedious...oh but i guess i will also still watch misery if its on cable while i'm doing laundry or something

Cannibal Holocaust: like writing a book.

did not care for cannibal holocaust, but I strongly suspect that italian cannibal films are not my thing.

Galaxy of Terror (1981)

^ sleazy sci-fi horror is my thing

homebodies (1974)

so I can be the only person to vote for it in two ILX polls

^ sleazy sci-fi horror is my thing

Lifeforce. That is not a nomination for this poll, but it is a nomination for you.

Haha it's on the list already!

we're on top of our space vampires

can we nominate an edited together montage of all Jim Steinman-related videos? Including but not limited to Total Eclipse of the Heart?

I don't know how I could have expected any less. xp

nobody's voting for space hellraiser, right?

perversely I want to nom the bermuda depths but it's a terrible movie and I wouldn't vote for it and neither would anybody else

and yet

xpost

No, but I am voting for Space Abbott and Space Costello Meet The Space Wolfman.

Killer Klowns form Outer Space

seious nom for an unserious movie

Holy christ are a lot of movies going to get one vote only in this poll!

I think there will be more consensus than in the comedy poll but yeah welcome to deep genre nerdity

Lifeforce. That is not a nomination for this poll, but it is a nomination for you.

oh i know, believe me i know

it is a nomination for life itself

my own top three are a lock to place no matter what but i swear i WILL vote in this one.

Triangle (2009)

recent horror isn't getting enough love in these nominations

Amer (2009)

And as far as King movies go...

GREAT
Carrie
The Shining
Creepshow
Christine
The Dead Zone

GOOD
Cujo
Pet Sematary
The Mist

BAD
Firestarter
Children of the Corn
SIlver Bullet

GOD MAKE IT STOP
Cat's Eye
Maximum Overdrive
Thinner

Have kind of made it a point to not see anything of his from the last decade or so, except The Mist.

Watcher In the Woods (1980)
Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983)

gozu (2003)

aw c'mon Children of the Corn is marginally entertaining in its ludicrousness

make that

Gozu (2003)

for consistency's sake

That's what kept it above GOD MAKE IT STOP.

I don't really know why we do nominations either, other than to come up with a base of candidates.

it creates this funny thing where some people seem to think they're not 'allowed' to vote for something that isnt nominated

I don't know if it's that people don't feel that they're 'allowed' to vote for something so much as I think it might be that people don't feel like wasting a vote on something that wasn't explicitly brought to the attention of the other people who are voting.

Noroi (2005) - aka Noroi: the Curse

excellent japanese documentary-style demonic possession flick. not perfect, but scary as hell

recent horror isn't getting enough love in these nominations

I generally feel like voting for recent films is kind of a folly in polls like this but there has been a huge rash of great horror films in the past few years

I am going to watch Phase IV and then decide if it is awesome and should be nommed

it's this. voting for a movie that wasn't nominated is an empty gesture. it makes you feel virtuous, but accomplishes nothing. nomination process is helpful cuz it gives people a base of stuff to collectively think about and check out, and i imagine it makes the tabulation process at the end a hell of a lot easier.

I don't even know if it's necessarily true that recent horror is being overlooked, given that someone nominated Cabin In The Woods. Which...hasn't even been released yet.

well, i'd like to point out that the Voting thread is typically a great venue to try and stump for a movie, whether it was nominated or not. make a nice effort post with a video and or some pics, and some thoughts on why a movie is cool. you can make a difference!

Whispering Corridors

stan early stan often

I am going to watch Phase IV and then decide if it is awesome and should be nommed

it is awesome

should it be nommed? I guess it quals as sci-fi horror but kinda feel like if you open the door to 70s dystopian sci-fi a lot of stuff could flood in

that said

the omega man (1971)

one of my great torments is never having gotten to see Noroi! fuck u netflix 4ever

some more here in a second once i finish vetting them against the list

also for the most part i have been nomming recent stuff because i thought it would go unloved otherwise

lol we should nom Prometheus

my love for phase iv is so great that if it gets nommed I will vote for it involuntarily, like some sort of animal instinct

confession: i have never seen phase iv

speaking of recent:

Mum & Dad
Rec 2
Last House on the Left, The (2009)
Rogue
Haunting in Connecticut, The
Save the Green Planet!
Eden Lake
Machine Girl, The
13: Game of Death
Hard Candy
Murder Party
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
Fido
Feast

Save the Green Planet!
Machine Girl, The

^ dig these, esp the former

I don't even know if it's necessarily true that recent horror is being overlooked, given that someone nominated Cabin In The Woods. Which...hasn't even been released yet.
