HDC Presents: 100 Years of Horror

[Straker]

Happy to help out where I can...

[Bizarre]

I'd help where I can. If this project is a long-ish one, I'd have much more free time after May...

[nightmare_of _death]

i'll be happy to help when and where i can.

[The Flayed One]

Nice to see a couple of other people on board.

On a side note, I need a few judges. A lot of our lists have used them, and this one will be no different. How they are used will be reviewed later. If you are interested in being a judge and can spare some time and commitment, please PM me.

Now, what you've all been waiting for:

Phase 2: The 1920's through the 1940's

For these three decades, I've decided to stick with the ten best movies of the decade instead of year by year. Why? Because some years are very poorly represented, or practically not represented at all. Not a lot of movies were being produced at this time, and the medium was still new and experimental.

How this phase will work is as follows:

I will post a list of all horror movies I can find from these decades. Your job is to pm me your top 10, in no particular order, that you think deserve to make the list. The 10 movies with the most votes will represent the dawn of horror.

Let's get to it! First up: the 20's.

Please choose 10 from the following and pm me your list:

[neverending]

What about the 1910s? There are a few notable examples from that decade.

[neverending]

Also, this list is egregiously missing Chaney's Hunchback of Notre Dame and West of Zanzibar.

[The Flayed One]

Thank you for the notification of the omissions, NE! They have been added in, and duly so.

As far as earlier than 1920, I never said the project would be chronological. There will be a section for the dawn of horror.

[nightmare_of _death]

Let's say the end of the month.

Speaking of which, I have 12 votes to help but only three lists. Get moving, HDC!

Just for easy clarification, the deadline to vote for the first decade of horror is April 30th, 2011.

[The Flayed One]

I have four lists now, and the decade is starting to take shape! Keep them coming, guys!
