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

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:

Rec 2
Last House on the Left, The (2009)

Evilspeak (1981)

Q (1982) - aka Q the Winged Serpent

i support all this larry coen films

Larry Coen may have more films nominated than James Whale or Tod Browning!

That's because Larry Coen is an unimpeachable crafter of cinematic delight. Also because: Michael Moriarty.

Oh shit u guys-- Incubus (the 60s esperanto thing with Shatner)!

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

otm

Speaking of Cohen, I should watch The Stuff y/n?

YES

Argh.

Thankskilling

I was set against nominating it but it's pretty special, so there it is.

xp - The Stuff has been nominated, right?
