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

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

oh... didn't realise newer titles weren't included

I complained at the time about films from the future being ineligible. I still think it's a shame that 2023's The Terror Pit of Madame Hate wasn't recognized as the masterpiece it will be.

Lol @ dog latin

just out of interest (I wasn't there during the initial discussion), why are we not including newer films?

Because this poll happened four years ago?

No excuse.

The VVitch was robbed

I have helpfully updated the title for the hard of thinking.

I think dl is horsing around. Either that or he's in need of emergency medical services.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Either I fell through some sort of portal or I genuinely got 2012 and 2017 mixed up. Like, what is wrong with me? I voted and everything... :-O :-O

wait... we haven't done a different horror poll since have we?

Nerp. I'd be down, though. I've seen 45673862839 horror films since then (although relatively few that have been produced since then) so I imagine my ballot would be quite different.
