I hear they don't want to be buried in one.

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.

"Welcome back, my little BORES and GHOULS. I see you've come LURCHING back for another DRIPPY DOSE of TOOTHSOME TERROR. If BLOOD is what you crave, then SHARPEN up your FANGS for this CUTTING ENTRY in our countdown ... or should I say, COUNT-DRACULA-DOWN?"

can I just say that, for me, this would never get old and I would laugh at it every single time

I think Eric's made a rod for his own back, here. There will be 'PLAINTS if he doesn't do it now.

wth happened in here

thresholds attained, pacts sworn, ghouls celebrated

can I just say that, for me, this would never get old and I would laugh at it every single time

^^^^ been going through my stack of old EC comics lately, plz don't let us down here

altho tbrr I would also be okay with just accompanying every entry with a pic of Elvira

i just almost started a horror movie documentary thread, but i thought i might be horror burdening up the boards a bit - is there a thread for docs about movies on here somewhere?

The best things come to those who MUTATE!

prompted by thinking abt american scary and watching one of the DawnOTD docs last night. also by being really excited by this poll.

xpost nice, v nice

Gonna have to save any other ones that come to mind if I'ma get my Old Witch on in the results thread.

I would like results announced in the manner of the doddery old composer-haired wizard from that one episode of Boris Karloff's Thriller.

ASHTAROTH!!!

Another thing I failed to vote for because I remembered too late :(

prepubescent pagan princess!

crowhaven farm was one of my late ballot cuts, feel like when this is over we need to have a TV horror movie poll

yes, then sybil and harvest home can finally get the respect they deserve

if we ever do a tv horror movie poll i am going to stan for a killer scarecrow movie that i cant quite remember the name of at the moment SO HARD

Dark Night of the Scarecrow! I finally figured out the name

it's in the nom list dude!

langoliers #1

fuuuuuuuuuck no really

god damn it

i would have totally voted for that if i had remembered the name oh a week ago or so (although to be fair i havent seen it since i was a kid so i might be giving it too much credit)

Yeah, I knocked off a couple movies that I thought were kind of cool as a kid: Gargoyles & Devil Dog

I remember the first part of Gargoyles being pretty scary though. I'm not gooing to rewatch it and ruin that memory.

My fondest TV horror movie is Salem's Lot, which scared the everloving shit out of me at age seven (wtf were my parents thinking?). The scene with the knuckleheads driving the van with the coffin in the back… yikes!

Maybe we should start a Kindertrauma thread about too early childhood exposure to horror movies.

yeah i managed to see poltergeist when it came out (i was 9) and it fucked me up for weeks

which in retrospect i also should have voted for but my self-imposed voting rules wouldn't allow it

jjjusten hates little people. he didn't vote for fire walk with me either.

I saw Heavy Metal when I was five. MIND. BLOWN. Lots of other equally-inappropriate examples if I took the time to remember them.

I sometimes think my entire personality was formed by seeing things I shouldn't have at too young an age.

Have any of y'all ever seen The Reincarnation Of Peter Proud?

yeah. for some reason I always mix it up with the possession of joel delaney.

the x of first name last name was a thing I guess

so where's the results already

settle down there pardner, gonna start rolling out next week

Was it any good?

LIES. in fact i voted for a movie with one of those little people in it. just not either of those.

you voted for skinned deep?

Willow, I'd imagine.

Even Dwarves Started Small is pretty horrifying

i would have totally voted for that [dark night of the scarecrow] if i had remembered the name oh a week ago or so (although to be fair i havent seen it since i was a kid so i might be giving it too much credit)

OTM! i did remember it, but had the same reservations about the accuracy of my childhood recollections. and i didn't want to waste a vote. i do remember that they hyped the hell out of it in the weeks leading up, so i was super-excited to see it. 14 at the time, so it didn't really mess me up, but it was scary and cool (iirc). final scene still haunts me.

Even Dwarves Started Small always felt just a shade off seventies decadent Euro-horror. Like all it needs is three seconds of girls making out and it'd be there.

Is there a horror movie where a little person get's stabbed to death and then shot out of a cannon into a wood chipper? If so, that's probably the one jjjusten voted for because he hates the wee.

Can't abide-a-wee

Results will begin next week, likely Tuesday or Wednesday. It'll be a seven-day unveil of six installments of 15 and then the top 10.

Er, KIDDIES!

slow jammin'
