To the Judges - You didn't think it was going to be easy now, did you? :p

[Kane_Hodder]

Who are the judges? They have some tough stuff to go through. I would love to see which ones they decide to award.
Good luck, judges.

[Disease]

Shit, I didn't realise there where so many catergories...

[jenna26]

Wow.....:eek:

[tic]

Shit, I didn't realise there where so many catergories...

Why did you think it took me so long to post them?

Re:deliberating You can start now if you wish, if you can get hold of anyone
I see no reason why, it can't be discussed over the forum - PM or messanger whatever, the choice is yours.
Im wondering if Sunday rather than Saturday would be easier, for the awards though, considering the amount

hellfire1 is a new judge. :)

Like I said to Gore earlier in the week : everyone shall have a vote if they wish.

[tic]

Wow.....:eek:

indeed ....... only took about 5 hours

[_____V_____]

Weehaw...gimme a sec while I whip my Excel worksheet out!:D

I sorta forgot who all were the judges too, tic. It was you, me, Stygian, Disease...and?

[tic]

I'll repeat it louder this time:

Maybe a change of date would be better

[tic]

Weehaw...gimme a sec while I whip my Excel worksheet out!:D

I sorta forgot who all were the judges too, tic. It was you, me, Stygian, Disease...and?

Bleeding_Angelgirl
Despare
Disease
FerretChucker
Fortunato
Gorephobia
Jenna26
Stygianwitch
The_man_you_fear
The_real_linda
____V____

and little ol' me

There had been an amendment though, Dante not available, ........but hellfire1 is; actually I asked her the other day, but seems appropriate now. I haven't heard from Bleeding_Angelgirl for a while, so I'm not sure what the position is, but the rest are ALL judging.

[Disease]

Well, I'm easy with Saturday or Sunday.....

So was it decided on for early afternoon instead of night aswell
?

[_____V_____]

I think there could be a better place for deliberating over this. And some of the categories could take a LONG WHILE in deliberation.

Tell me if you wanna hear it...

[Disease]

where are you thinking?

Because I was going to set up msn because thats what everyone else seems to want....

[tic]

we have a plan, which means you wouldn't need MSN or any other messager, i'll PM you very shortly

[_____V_____]

where are you thinking?

Because I was going to set up msn because thats what everyone else seems to want....

Tic will PM you about it. I got the judges' list (thanks, tic) and out of that...if Dante and bleeding_angelgirl are indisposed...are we looking for replacements or going ahead with it?

Sounds like something Flayed would love to be a part of. Although the number of categories may turn him off.

[The Flayed One]

Sounds like something Flayed would love to be a part of. Although the number of categories may turn him off.

I wish I could, but time constrictions are the death of me right now. I've actually got a really fun project in mind when I get back here on a regular basis. You know I live for this stuff;)

Hopefully I'll be able to get on and log onto Gore's show this Wednesday.

[_____V_____]

I wish I could, but time constrictions are the death of me right now. I've actually got a really fun project in mind when I get back here on a regular basis. You know I live for this stuff;)

Thats sad...and I so wished you were a part of the Gorific 100 too.

(I am sure you went through it, and had your approvals and frowns over em too);)

I cant wait till you are back on a regular basis again!

[The Flayed One]

Thats sad...and I so wished you were a part of the Gorific 100 too.

(I am sure you went through it, and had your approvals and frowns over em too);)

I cant wait till you are back on a regular basis again!

I see I need to fix the first two 100's. I'm sad that I didn't get to be part of it either. Soon as I get back on a regular basis, I'll write some blurbs for it (are we writing blurbs for it?)

You betcha we are! I still got the PM I sent you back in April, about the blurbs which were left.:D

[GorePhobia]

done and done

[Bub the Zombie]

That is a LOT of work. All I can say is...........good luck judges.

[GorePhobia]

thanks Bub

[ferretchucker]

I can't do it late at night on the sunday, some of us still have parents telling them to go to bed!

[tic]

It won't be too late, early evening - have work the next day

[tic]

Anyway to confirm: because there are 52 categories in the oscars, and people do have other things to do, (though what would be more important than this one, I haven't a clue, though by this time everyone should have recovered from the shock) the date for the Oscars has been changed to:


Sunday, 28th of October

time tba - though it will be around 7 or 8 pm GMT

thats 2-3pm est, 11am - 12 noon pst

The closing date for the Judges vote is Friday the 26th midnight pst, so that all votes can counted. (thats 8 am Saturday, UK & 3am eastern time, also Saturday)

Then we can work on the oscars night itself, re running order, and who's doing what.

I'll send a PM to those judges who don't know about the voting method - so if you have already made up your mind, sorry

*like I said, did you honestly think it would be that easy*

[ferretchucker]

okay, but it can't run too late. Because my mum can't get stressed out at the moment, I'm going to be in bed by 10:30pm.

[tic]

I don't think it will take that long, even if a party is held afterwards, I won't be here all night.

Did you get the PM?

[ferretchucker]

Yes I did!

[tic]

Yes I did!

good, that's one less to deal with then.

[tic]

Please note the amendment to the Best Horror Film: Texas Chainsaw Massacre, (orig) has been added

thnx

[GorePhobia]

well all my votes are in

let the debating begin

[tic]

Have about 5 or 6 to do.


May I remind all the judges that the voting ends Friday


So far it is a pretty close thing in many categories.

[stygianwitch]

My votes have all been cast - or not, as the case may be

i noticed that there are only about 5 or 6 of the judges actually voting :eek: where are the rest of them????

Come on judges....only 3 days left to vote

[jenna26]

I still have a couple of categories left, but almost there.

[GorePhobia]

maybe tic should PM the rest of the judges who were supposed to vote and tell them to go to the forum and hurry and if not pick new judges to replace them.

[tic]

maybe tic should PM the rest of the judges who were supposed to vote and tell them to go to the forum and hurry and if not pick new judges to replace them.

I did PM the judges - monday. Will do it again if I have to, and may consider new judges if other members wish to vote.

If not then the results will stand - it just means the winning nominees will be based on those who took part - not my concern.


If the members of the Judging party don't wish to vote/cannot vote, I would appreciate it if you could let me know, (so that those members who are not in the judging party, who can or want to, have the opportunity to do so).

If this is the case I will keep the vote open, to allow new judges a vote; however - whatever happens the Oscars will be on Sunday.

[_____V_____]

Voting first thing in the morning after taking a short nap. Am bushed from the long flight.

Re: PM - Will add it up, tic. No worries.

[GorePhobia]

Awesome so can't wait. This is going to be fun.

[tic]

There's gonna be trouble :D

*and I've done as much as I feel I can.* re:votes

[Disease]

sorry, I will get back onto my voting soon, soon as I sought some shit out!

[tic]

No problem, I know you've got more important things to deal with.

[tic]

Like I've said to some others the show will go on, on Sunday.

I am not, repeat NOT quitting.

When I said I wasn't going to vote anymore, I was referring more to the actual Judges Vote - I'd personally felt that I could only vote for those that I had prior knowledge of, that's why I havent necessarily voted for every category.

Regarding a tied vote (for any category) - If this happens ALL reasons, will be looked at. The final decision will be made purely on this, rather than through personal preference.

Hope this clears things up

[ferretchucker]

I'll do the rest of my voting tonight.

[Disease]

A call to all Judges!

Come on, don't be lame, go and vote, tic has put a lot of time into this project so play your part and make it what it can be!

[tic]

A call to all Judges!

Come on, don't be lame, go and vote, tic has put a lot of time into this project so play your part and make it what it can be!

Do I look worried .............No, but there's still time to vote if anyone wants to.

I've had a look at the votes as they now stand and its pretty close, but unless there are any major changes, I can see winners.

If someone else was to vote who knows what might happen, a winner, a tie, it's so exciting:rolleyes: Im almost peeing my pants.

[GorePhobia]

I say you get like Austin to vote and maybe a few others.

[tic]

To anyone of interest:

Unless reasons to do so the Judges Vote will officially close later tonight/tomorrow

GMT 8 am Saturday tomorrow
EST 3 am Saturday "
PST 12 Midnight Tonight

Up to this point, the vote is pretty close, but there are winners emerging.

[tic]

VOTING now CLOSED

Actually it closed a couple of hours ago, but it did give some extra minutes, just in case.

Looking at the results, there are definite winners and a couple of close ones ie tied votes, more work ....... :( ; decisions, decisions - a three way tie :eek:


I'll post the winners of each category, on their threads.

* - with reasons, this is more to do with the tied ones*

[Disease]

so who is presenting what categorys?

[Bub the Zombie]

How do you decide tied categories?

[Phalanx]

You both drink water until one of you vomits.

[GorePhobia]

Ha ha ha no we just try persuading the others to change their votes. I already changed about 3-4 votes for ties.

[tic]

Ha ha ha no we just try persuading the others to change their votes. I already changed about 3-4 votes for ties.

so I see ;)

The final (I Think) results are up and unless anyone has objections that's the way they'll stand.

If there are any particular categories that you wish to present, then persuade me :p

Also a list of names would be good - I know Gore, Disease, Stygianwitch and moi will no doubt do something; at the moment _____V_____ will try to be there, but obviously he may have other plans, and fortunato looks like he'll be working - I've still to ask Jen and Despare though.

[Disease]

So this is at High noon tomorrow? I'll do the Australian horror one.... I'm not sure what else, how about worst remake.....

[tic]

Its acutally 7:00 pm UK time tomorrow
or 2:00 pm est/ 11:00 am pst

*God ............... nobody's going to be here*

I can see this being a Looooooong night :rolleyes:

[Disease]

well 7.00pm is good, because as I said in the new drinking thread, I'm going to get drunk as Fuck tonight...

pm me any details about presnting etc... I'm heading off!

[GorePhobia]

Wait when is it?

What time exactly EST?

I will present an award!

EDIT: Nevermind I read it.

2PM tomorrow I'll be there!!

[jenna26]

so I see ;)

Good job on the final decisions, I just looked through them. I actually can't be here, which I feared would happen, we have plans with my husband's parents. Kind of sucks to miss the actual event after all this.;) But you did a great job, Tic! And so did all the other judges. :)

[tic]

Too bad, although I do think you said you might not be able to make it anyway, pity but thanks for taking part. :)

[stygianwitch]

Just to let everyone know,


In the UK we put our clocks back tonight, unless you do too then the time difference is going to be 1 hour less

[Kane_Hodder]

I am excited to see who wins it. I will be here.

So did this thing happen?

[ferretchucker]

[Disease]

So did this thing happen?


Are you going to be here for it?

[GorePhobia]

I'll be here.

[_____V_____]

I gotta go to the doc's for a bit. Be back here in about a couple hours.

If this starts, all the best. If not...I d like to present the ones I PMed you about, tic.

[ferretchucker]

I should be here. I might be a little while late though. Homework.

[tic]

I gotta go to the doc's for a bit. Be back here in about a couple hours.

If this starts, all the best. If not...I d like to present the ones I PMed you about, tic.

[GorePhobia]

When does this start again?

[stygianwitch]

When does this start again?

in about 5 minutes from now

[Disease]

Now, I think, am I in the right place???

[ferretchucker]

according to my clock is starts 5 minutes ago.

[stygianwitch]

Yep, you're in the right place, i think tic is all set to go :)

[tic]

Ok finally to get this thing on the road.

To the people who have helped and offered their support. Thank you I know when you saw the list a few jaws dropped and hearts sunk, (but somehow despite the curse of HDC, which I probably shouldn't mention coz no doubt I'll be struck with lightning) we are here.

Give yourself a clap people and drinks are on Horror or so he told me.

Without further adue, its also known as time-wasting we can now start the show - bring on the dancing girls yah.


That was quick!

OK for the first awards:


The HDC Oscars Award for Worst Director

Michael Deveraux
Paul W Anderson
Rick Garris
Rob Zombie
Rupert Wainright
Ullili Zommel
Uwe Boll




After a good deal of deliberation, that lasted, Oh nearly a millisecond and facing what was stiff opposition, the award goes to:

UWE BOLL

As a judge put it “Reason? He is the worst thing to happen to Horror”,

And that was being kind.

[tic]

The HDC Oscar for the Worst Producer


Darren Ramage
Michael Bay
Michael Deveraux
Rob Zombie
Sam Raimi
Uwe Boll


There are OK producers, there are bad producers, but there can only be one
really, really bad producer. The winner of this award, needs no introduction, as more than likely he would barge in anyway.

UWE BOLL

Do I have to give a reason? Wait and see and you’ll know why.

[tic]

The HDC Oscars for the worst Production Studio:
Boll Kg
Columbia
Fox Atomic
Paramount
Warner

This award, on the face of it was a pretty hard one to Judge; Paramount, Columbia and Warner – but yes that man again, this time using his own production company, why because even those already mentioned, have at least made an effort, in trying to produce some good movies. This person who uses his own company, perhaps because no-one else would even consider undertaking the films he creates.

The winner of the worst production studio can only go to Uwe Bolls own production studio,

BOLL KG

[ferretchucker]

Wow! I'm suprised! Uwe Boll is the best thing Horror has ever had! Did I say horror, I meant the people who are out to kill horror.

[tic]

The HDC Oscars for worst screen play


Campfire Tales
Death Proof
Halloween (07)
House of the Dead
$lasher$
The Beast from 20,000 fathoms
Zombie Nation


If I was to say Uwe Boll describes himself as not only a director, a producer but also a writer, would you know who won this one?

A bad screenplay does not make a good movie, Mr Boll. and when you’ve spent a lot of your experience on trying to not only destroy horror, but the games that are based on them. Shame on you

The award for the worst screen play is Uwe Boll’s travesty

House of the Dead

[tic]

The HDC Oscar for the Worst Horror Film Ever

BloodRayne
BoogeyMan
Captivity
Day of the Dead
Dead Alive aka BrainDead
House of the Dead
Mulva: Zombie Ass-Kicker
$lasher$
Slaughter High
The Horror Star
The Village
Troll
Zombie Nation


I think you already know this one, or do you?

Let me put you out of your misery : Mr Boll is at it again!

This time however, not content with messing up one game-based movie, but he has the the cheek, insolence, contemptness and above all disrespect to cause one of our own to change her name, because of what Boll done to this character.

But this is NOT the worst horror film, as pointed out earlier a badly written screen play does not bode well with a good movie.

The Worst ever horror film is

House of the Dead

[ferretchucker]

Wow. What a suprise. ;)

[tic]

So finally one unchallenged award, which is affectionately known as the Uwe Boll Award for crap film-making.

All the categories that he was nominated for he came almost, infact unanimously top of the pile. To other film makers, please take heed or you may be the second candidate.

The Person who had single handedly attempted to destroy the horror of which we so love, (that is why we are here after all) is

Bow your head in shame

UWE BOLL

[ferretchucker]

I really wish he would come to this forum one day. He would get so much bashing!

[GorePhobia]

Good job UWE!

[stygianwitch]

Way to go Uwe Boll :p

ok, now for some serious, and by that i mean decent horror movie awards

The HDC Oscars award for Best Actor

Nominations are:

Boris Karloff
Bruce Campbell
Christopher Lee
Donald Pleasance
Lon Chaney Snr.
Peter Lorre
Samuel L Jackson
Vincent Price


This award goes to a man who sacrificed everything for his art, his groundbreaking makeup and versatility brought horror to the masses, he was a master of his craft, his ability to transform himself using self invented makeup techniques earned him the nickname ‘The Man of a Thousand Faces’. His early death meant the loss of a great man in the movie industry

The winner is

Lon Chaney Snr

[tic]

Gore is trying to sell his car :eek:

Disease?

normal ha ha action will resume shortly

[tic]

its crumbling down before my eyes!

[ferretchucker]

4 more awards! 4 more awards! (And the rest!)

[stygianwitch]

The HDC Oscars award for Best Character

Nominations are:

Ash
Dracula - Bela Lugosi (31)
Ellen Ripley - Alien series
Jason Vorhees
Michael Myers
Waiter (Bruce Campbell in Spiderman 3)


This award goes to

Ash

The judges summed this character up much better than I can so here are their comments

“…greatest costume, greatest one-liners, greatest attitude, he goes from a total wuss into unstoppable bad-ass in no time flat. just an all around great character...”

“…strong screen-presence, some really great sequences, and some of the best one-liners and one-word dialogues ever seen in a horror movie… Groovy…”

“…He's a much more complex character than the others. Ash is witty, unwilling, and sarcastic until the end but he always ends up trying to save the day... or at least the girl... along with his own ass…”

[stygianwitch]

The HDC Oscars award for Worst Character

Nominations are:

Ash
BloodRayne
Freddie Harris - Halloween Ressurection
Jackie Peters - Jaws 2
JigSaw
Kiera Knightley - Pirates " 3
Laurie Strode - Halloween Remake
Marcie - Pumpkinhead
Tippi Hendren - The Birds
Trevor Moorhouse
Tyranny


This character, in the original film, was one of the strongest characters in the movie, however the ‘remade’ character in the recent version of the film was a great let-down

In the 2007 remake of the film this character lacked any real substance and had no personality

The award for Worst Character goes to

Laurie Strode – Halloween Remake

[Disease]

Ok, then...

Here we have the award for the best remake...

The nominations were....

300
Dawn of the dead
Land of the dead
The Fly (80's)
The hills have eyes
The thing (80's)


And the winner is THE THING.....

[stygianwitch]

The HDC Oscars award for Best Book

Nominations are:

American Psycho
Collective/complete works of Egar Allen Poe
Dracula
Frankenstein
The Devil Rides Out
The Shinning
The Stand
The Wyrm


A cautionary tale about men playing God, this book stands out as one of the best in the horror genre, it has stood the test of time and continues to be popular today, both in book and movie format

The emotions engendered by this book are relevant whatever the era, life changes, emotions don’t, “…The feeling of pity when the creature feels unwanted and an outcast, it not only regards the doctor as not only his creator, but his father…” is something that still hold true today



The winner of the Best Book category is

Frankenstein

[stygianwitch]

The HDC Oscars award for Worst Book

Nominations are:

Dolores Claiborne
Hannibal Rising
Havoc Junction
High School Musical
The Haunted Stagecoach
The Woman in black


The award for Worst Book goes to

Hannibal Rising

Here are some of the judges comments:

“…Hannibal Rising is the one of maybe two or three books I couldn't even finish. Such a disappointment when compared to Harris's earlier books, no I take that back, Hannibal was a disappointment, Hannibal Rising was outright awful…”

“…Hannibal Rising did make all the others look semi bad…”

“…Absolutely the worst out of all the mentioned. Even worse than the one I nominated…”

[tic]

wont be long I promise

[tic]

The Award for the film that should be remade is

20 Million miles to Earth
Alligator
Jaws
Kronos
London After Midnight
Resident Evil
Silent Night, Bloody Night
$lasher$
The Beast from 20,000 fathoms
The Wolf Man


Again another toughie, each film well most of them, still hold strongly today as they did when they first came out

However, one finally was chosen as both the director and actors who are to be in this film, perhaps because of the work they have already done, will be remade

The award for the movie that SHOULD be remade is

The Wolf Man

[stygianwitch]

The HDC Oscars award for Best SFX

Nominations are:

A Nightmare on Elm Street
Alien
An American Werewolf In London
Dawn of the Dead
Day of the Dead
Eraserhead
Suspiria
The Blob
The Thing (rem)
Tim Roth/Tom Woodruff
Transformers


The groundbreaking effects in this movie are what made it stand the test of time and shocked audiences across the world

Here’s what Wiki has to say

‘The various prosthetics and fake, robotic body parts used during the film's painful, extended werewolf transformation scenes and on Griffin Dunne when his character returns as a bloody, mangled ghost impressed the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences so much that they decided to create a new awards category at the Oscars specifically for the film – Outstanding Achievements in Makeup’

The transformation scene was excellently done, the pain endured by the character comes across well and, in the opinion of the judges, has yet to be bettered,

The winner is:

An American Werewolf In London

It is still a favourite movie for many even today, and a ‘must have’ in any horror fan’s collection

A well deserved award

[tic]

have a coffee, go to the loo or something

[stygianwitch]

The HDC Oscars award for Worst SFX

Nominations are:

Alone in the Dark
Attack of the Gryphon
Cursed
Dead Alive
Lake House
Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
Necropolis (87)
Pieces
Plan 9 from outer space
The Beyond


The winner of this category is

Plan 9 from Outer Space

For it’s “…effects that were so shoddy it would put an indie or free-lancing movie maker to shame…”

[tic]

The film which should never be remade

A Nightmare on Elm Street
Evil Dead
Friday the 13th
Jaws
Labyrinth
Night of the living Dead
The Exorcist
The Thing (82)


Again a close run thing and each has its own merits, however from the two. Two main contenders appeared:

Evil Dead and Jaws

Who can forget Ash or the deadites, would a remake encompass them all, from the grapevine Evil dead, may well be re-made.

However, can anyone make Jaws as good as it still is. It is remember one of the biggest money spinners for the producers and allowed Stephen Speilberg go on to other things.

The Award for the film which should never be remade is

JAWS

[tic]

you can have another cofee again, have a biscuit this time.

sorry styg :( :( for creeping into your SFX :confused: :D

[ferretchucker]

hurry up, I'm waiting for it to be my turn to present.

[tic]

The poster, usually the first thing that the film goer will see. It advertises the film after all. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but it’s the poster that tells us what were going to get.

The winner for the best poster is

JAWS

This was nominated simply because it did just that – advertises to us not only the menace, but the size of the shark in question.

[ferretchucker]

we're gonna need a bigger boat.

[ferretchucker]

It seems the schedule has been thrown out the window so here it goes.

Worst soundtrack.

Here are the Nominees.

Amityville Horror
Effects
Fear
Slaughter High
The Wicker Man

Now, when I saw this list, there was one name that stuck out in my mind. There are certain words to describe the soundtrack to this. One used by Fortunato was "Hilarious". Well. I suppose that makes it one word. :D Anyway, without further Ado...

The winner of Worst Soundtrack is:

SLAUGHTER HIGH!

[ferretchucker]

Best Soundtrack

Here are the nominees, chosen by you.

Devils Rejects
From dusk till dawn
Halloween (7
Halloween (07)
Hot Fuzz
Jaws
Suspiria

For me, this was a toughy. Theres DUUUUNNUUUN. DUUUUNUUUN. Dununununun etc. or Ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti TI ti. Both are instantly recognisable, both a legendary and both are really difficult to write on a computer.

I was looking at the comments you lot left and it seems like you all had a tough time deciding, but in the end, one walked it's way into victory. You must have guessed it,

JOHN CARPENTER'S HALLOWEEN!

[ferretchucker]

Kid's Horror

Here are the nominees

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Earnest Scared Stupid
Goosebumps
Jumanji
Monster Squad
Nightmare before Christmas
The Birds
The Witches
Watcher in the woods

Wow. An evil game, a sexy slayer, an opening sequence with a briefcase which is scary enough, the best in my opinion Roald Dahl adaptation ever or playdo. Wow. This may just be the hardest descision ever! There was some anger involved in choosing these and it was close, but in the end one stood victorious. A film which made Claymation kinda scary and put Father Christmas in pain. That's right, it is...

NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS!

[ferretchucker]

Best TV Horror.
And the nominees are...

Dexter
Hammer House of Horror
Salem's Lot
Tales from the Crypt
Twighlight Zone

Well, I was uprised when I saw the winner and a little dissapointed. There isn't much else I can say really. I've never seen the winner but did some research and found out it wasn't censored. Anyway, the winner is...

TALES FROM THE CRYPT :(

I thought it would easily be the twighlight zone or Salem's Lot. In short, you people disgust me.:mad:

[tic]

The award for worst poster

Amityville 3 - The Demon
Bad Taste
BloodRayne 2
Ice Queen
KillJoy
Norbit
Saw 2
Scary Movie 4
The Crow
The Grudge 2

Like in the best poster category – the poster should convey what the film is about. It was felt that this poster offers very little/or perhaps it does in what to expect


The winner for the Worst Poster is

Scary Movie 4
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n22/mule4468/51YYE2C78TL__AA240_.jpg

the best I could do sorry

[tic]

you'll have to excuse me for a few minutes while I go and shoot myself

[stygianwitch]

No need for such drastic action tic, the ship is steadying :D

As Gore seems to have gone AWOL, here are his presentations for

Worst Actor

GorePhobia here and I am here to present the award for Worst Actor. The nominees are: Bill Moseley Christian Slater Clint Howard Daeg Faerch Kevin Dillon Stephen Geoffreys Tom Cruise Tommy Biondo Tor Johnson Ving Rhames The actor that wins this award has done a lot of acting in the Horror genre. His awkward acting and sheer creepiness has made it a reason he is the worst of all time.

The winner is……. CLINT HOWARD! From his first taste in the genre with Evilspeak to his most recent due out in 2008 with The House of Terror. Just because he is so goofy looking and creepy pedophile style makes him a mainstay for horror films. His acting is just so bad it makes you wish that Ron Howard just never put him in any of his films

Being the main reason he gets any recognition at all. He is the reason why some horror movies are just not what they could have been. Here are some of the flicks he has been in

Night Shift (1983) Cocoon (1985) The Wraith (1986) Disturbed (1990) Initiation: Silent Night, Deadly Night 4 (1990) Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker (1991) Carnosaur (1993) Infested (1993) Leprechaun 2 (1994) Ice Cream Man (1995) The Dentist 2 (1998) House of the Dead (2003) Big Bad Wolf (2006) Halloween (2007)

So over the years he has been in fourteen extremely horrible horror films and this is why he IS the worst horror film actor EVER!!


And Best Game

GorePhobia here and I am here to present the Best Horror Video Game award. The nominees are: BioShock Evil Dead F.E.A.R Half Life Resident Evil 2 Resident Evil 3 Resident Evil 4 Sanitarium The game that wins this is one of my favorite games of all time. It opened my eyes to video games with its creepiness and sheer fun.

Having two discs with different openings that come together at parts is an amazing thing for a video game. With one of the best characters in the horror video game genre this game is definitely much deserved for the Best Horror Video Game award. That game is……

RESIDENT EVIL 2!! With Leon Kennedy as one of the best characters in video games in my opinion and the fact that you wonder what is gonna happen next this game just has you caught in it from the beginning. When you first encounter the “licker” and it’s spit drips from it’s tongue or when Ada Wong throws you the gun at the end to kill the boss this game is the best of the series and best game.

The nominees are:

Grind House
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/PYR/NECA00014~Grindhouse-Posters.jpg


The film that wins this was my absolute favorite of the year. It had everything you wanted in a horror movie. Cheesy one liners, gore, guts, blood, nudity, action, craziness, and all out fun. In my opinion no film this year has come close to this in the horror genre.

The winner is…..

GRIND HOUSE!!

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/PYR/NECA00014~Grindhouse-Posters.jpg

Bringing back the grind house experience that was so well known in the late 60s and early 70s with all sorts of politically incorrect themes such as Black exploitation, Sex exploitation, Shock exploitation, Cannibal films, Zombie films, Slasher films, and much more. Interlaced with trailers for other movies in between them, Grind House was such a movie experience. Not a lot of people cared for Quentin Tarantino’s film Death Proof due to it’s dialogue but if they would have reversed the order of which they showed the films I am sure the critics and crowd would have liked it more. Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror was shown first and was an in your face, fast paced, sci-fi, horror, action flick with lots of laughs, gore, and fun. In between we got to see fake trailers directed by greats like Rob Zombie, Edgar Wright, Eli Roth, and Robert Rodriguez himself. After the trailers Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof played and it was just as great. Some of the best car chase sequences and action. And not to forget the death scene that just won an award for Most Memorable Mutilation at the Scream 2007 Awards. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk9tE5OXbcA) This movie is definitely the best horror flick of 2007!

[stygianwitch]

Award for Worst Film of the Year – 2007

Nominations are:

Blood & Chocolate
Captivity
Halloween
Hostel 2
Metamorphosis
Primeval
Seed
The Hills have Eyes 2


As a film with a ‘non-existent plot, bad acting’, and ‘forgettable direction’ the movie that wins this award is

Hills Have Eyes 2

In the words of one judge “…just trying to make a quick buck. Disgraceful…”

[tic]

The award for the best horror the decades had to give:

30's
Dracula
Frankenstein
Freaks
The Raven

As you can see, plenty to talk about, from the presence of Dracula, the now iconic Frankenstein make-up, to the often controversial images of Freaks, but not let us forget the raven
Each has something to offer but one, perhaps due to the subject and the director did stand out

The winner, of the best horror of the 1930’s is

FREAKS

40's
Cat People
Isle of the Dead
The Body Snatchers
The Wolf Man

Again more classics, each a perfect example of its kind, however because of perhaps its story. Make-up effects and that uncontrollable image of pure animal instinct, there was one that does stand out from the rest:

The winner of the best horror for the 40’s is

THE WOLF MAN

50's
Curse of Frankenstein
Dracula (Hammer)
Eyes without a Face
House on Haunted Hill
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Night of the Hunter
The Blob
The Thing

Need I say again classics in their own right – but simply for the feeling of not being in cotrol, becoming paranoid at your neighbour one does stand out

The winner for the 50’s is

THE INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS

60's
Eyes without a Face (?)
Night of the living Dead
Psycho
Rosemary's Baby

Sorry for repeating the words classic, but here we do indeed have one, infact it was so important that it may have changed the way the film industry was heading for:

The winner for the best horror of the 60’s is

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

70's
Alien
Dawn of the Dead
Halloween
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Exorcist

As the years progressed, so did the ideas And as you can see the jump was massive – there was thrills and chills, and again though this was 30 years ago, each one is still lauded over with each having their own magic to the screen
Each is worthy of the award, but there is one, that especially this time of year, October is fondly remembered; Heralding a new icon of terror we have:

The best horror of the 70’s

HALLOWEEN



80's
Day of the Dead
Evil Dead
Evil Dead 2
Friday the 13th
Nightmare on Elm Street
The Shining
The Thing

Maybe the audience were getting jaded by now, by the constant slasher movie and wanted more, not just to be scared, but amused, this came into fruition with the appearance of the 2 Evil Deads.

For bringing gore with laughter

The best horror of the 80’s is:

EVIL DEAD 2


90's
Army of Darkness - Evil Dead 3
Audition
Blaade
Dead Alive aka Brain Dead
Jacob's Ladder
Seven
Silence of the Lambs

Just as in the earlier decade, the audiences opinion changed, this time from straight forward frights and fun to perhaps something a little bit more darker and psychological, the 90’s gave this in abundance – to cannibal psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter to the “everyman” John Doe, bleak grunge horror was here.

The best horror for the 90’s is

SE7EN.


2000's
28 Weeks Later
American Psycho
Bug
Dawn of the Dead
Devil's Rejects
Hannibal
Session 9

Now we are upto date on our journey of the past, the thrills and chills that the silver screen has allowed us to peek, often with one eye open, scared but still not wanting to miss anything, cringing with the blood, only to give a sigh of relief at the finish, even laughing not only at the killers victims, but with the killers themselves, here we have our hero and a warning from the modern age of competition, be best at everything, including the kill, everything is me first, or Im better than you, simply because I wear better clothes, have a better job

The winner of the 00’s is:

AMERICAN PSYCHO

[stygianwitch]

Award for Person/Character who has brought Horror to the masses

Nominations are:

Boris Karloff
George A Romero
John Carpenter
Peter Cushing
Vincent Price

Despite stiff opposition, the winner of this award is

John Carpenter

Here’s what Wiki has to say about the man who brought not only horror, but other genre’s to the forefront of the cinematic world, and who also manages to combine genre’s, very successfully, to give us some of the best movies around

“John Howard Carpenter is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, film score composer and occasional actor. Carpenter has worked in numerous film genres, and is considered one of the most accomplished and influential horror and science fiction directors in Hollywood”.

“With a career that has spanned over thirty years, John Carpenter has attained a reputation as a respected independent filmmaker. Many horror/sci-fi/indie filmmakers have expressed admiration for Carpenter's work, including Robert Rodriguez, Paul W.S. Anderson, Guillermo Del Toro, Paul Thomas Anderson and Quentin Tarantino”

And the judges are in agreement

“…whether he's directing or producing, he's put a lot of horror out there for a lot of people…”

“…The majority of his films whether horror or not, have become talking points. A genuine lover of horror himself and it shows...”

“…His films whether by luck or good decisions have been blessed with good stories and the crew to accompany them…”

“…His movies, ranging from Halloween to Escape from New York, he showed the finer talents of a genius, and the simplicity of a prodigy. All his movies struck deep chords with the audiences everywhere...which explains why everyone loved John Carpenter so much that even a bad movie carrying the tag "John Carpenter Presents" was bound to have people watching it.

The man is a living example in himself…”

[stygianwitch]

Award for the Horror film which had the most impact on the audience

Nominations are:

Dawn of the Dead
Dracula (1931)
Halloween (orig)
Jaws
Night of the living Dead
The Exorcist

This movie, adapted from the 1971 novel of the same name, was nominated for 10 Academy Awards of which it won 2, and grossed over $400,000,000 worldwide

Loosely based on the documented exorcism of a 12 year old boy in 1949, and showing a condensed version of the actual Rite of Exorcism, the winner of this award is

The Exorcist

A very controversial movie, it’s impact on audiences had them fainting, screaming and becoming genuinely terrified during the original showing of this movie, and still has the same impact today, almost 30 years after it’s release

[stygianwitch]

The HDC Oscars award for Worst Game

Nominations are:

Cold Fear
Friday the 13th
Resident Evil - outbreak
Silent Hill 4
Vampire Rain

As a game dubbed “…The only blight on the Res series - good in theory, bad in practice…”, the winner of the worst game category is

Resident Evil: Outbreak

[ferretchucker]

Jaws should have won.

[stygianwitch]

The HDC Oscars award for Best Fact-based Horror

Nominations are:

Helter-Skelter
Sicko
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Exorcist
The Haunting

What Wiki says

This film, was inspired by serial killer Ed Gein. Gein did wear human skin, but he acted alone and did not use a chainsaw. The interior of the house, particularly the macabre living room filled with bones, was also based on the crime scene notes describing the inside of Gein's home.

The winner of this award is

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

[stygianwitch]

The HDC Oscars award for Best Horror film ever

Nominations are:

Alien
Behind the mask - The rise of Leslie Veron
Dawn of the Dead
Halloween (orig)
Night of the Living Dead
The Exorcist
The Raven
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (orig)

I’m going to be totally shameless and quote __V__ here, he sums up beautifully why

Night of the Living Dead wins this award

1 - Re-invention of the low budget horror movie genre by George Romero. (Halloween was low-budget too, but came MUCH later)

2 - Casting unknowns. (which is actually a strong point of the movie, because each unknown had brilliant acting skills, which went into creating the overall effect of this groundbreaking milestone...you dont find a single recognisable face in the movie, which only adds to the sheer terror...just watch the verbal skirmishes between Duane Jones and Karl Hardman, and Judith O'Dea as Barbara...prissy, egoistic, frail and fragile...all in 30 minutes...brilliant indeed!)

3 - Each moment of the movie is dipped in reality. (never done before, and seemed chillingly real...if you thought it was bad seeing monsters and killers go after people, just think of what would happen if PEOPLE went after PEOPLE...it could be your neighbor, your best friend, your relative...what would YOU feel THEN?)

4 - The opening scene in b/w when the car unwinds through the long path into the cemetery. (The most creepiest beginning ever seen in a horror movie till then...admit it, YOU squirmed in your seat watching that too)

5 - Racial undertones perfectly depicted as a prejudice. (Remember the black man fighting off the zombies AND his fellow survivors? Master touch of Romero...especially when he is the only one surviving the night, but doesn't survive the morning after...because he's shot by a WHITE vigilante group...a very subtle nuance by Romero upon the societal feelings in those times)

6 - The breathtaking cinematography. (Shot in near-dark conditions, with very average lighting...Romero manages to capture the essence of NotLD perfectly...its the story of one night, and one night only...yet THAT one night is an experience in jaw-dropping horror...the shadowing, the darkness suddenly expelled by fires, the beams...marvellous!)

7 - The unbelievable ending. (Just when everything is about to get right...when the lone survivor has survived through the night, and knows help has come for him...and he will leave this place alive and kicking...he is shot...and that ONE shot brings the audiences back to reality with a WHIPLASH! Racist angle spread again in all its glory!)

I think all of this should be sufficient to convince the critics of NotLD. It is GROUND-BREAKING, in more ways than one. Hence it has been hailed as a MILESTONE in horror, not only by me, but by MANY before me and after me.

The HDC awards For Best Director

Alfred Hitchcock
Andreww MacDonald
Dario Argento
Joe Wolf
John Carpenter
Robert Tappert
Roger Corman
Sam Raimi
Val Lewton
Wes Craven

A British director during his time was unmatched, for suspense, often with a throw away laugh, here and there. He has made many wonderful films including the likes of Psycho, The Birds, Frenzy, Vertigo, North by North west, To catch a thief etc… the list is endless, as was his reputation.

The award for the Best Director is

Sir ALFRED HITCHCOCK

[tic]

The HDC awards for best Production studio
Hammer
Lionsgate
New Line
Universal

This award goes to one studio, which gave the classic gothic horror an new rush of blood, It brought the classics such as Dracula, Frankenstein and the Mummy up-to-date. It was blessed with actors and actresses who would become major stars, such as Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Barbara Shelley, to name but a few. It successfully competed against its rivals and is looked back with many a nostalgic eye. It since went into dormancy; but there may be good news in the near horizon.

The winner of the Best Production studio is

HAMMER

[tic]

The HDC award for best Producer

Alfred Hitchcock
Andreww MacDonald
Dario Argento
Joe Wolf
John Carpenter
Robert Tappert
Roger Corman
Sam Raimi
Val Lewton
Wes Craven

His probably unbeatable record for a professional 35mm feature film was two days and a night to shoot the original version of The Little Shop of Horrors (1960), though several other films were made in less than a week. In the early 1960s, his budgets got bigger (though never big), when he made a series of adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories starring Vincent Price. - among many world-class names who were employed by him at a very early stage in their careers are Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, James Cameron, Peter Bogdanovich, Joe Dante and many others - which means that his influence on modern American cinema is almost incalculable.(from IMDB)

The Winner of the Best Producer is

ROGER CORMAN

[tic]

The HDC Award for best Screenplay

Dawn of the Dead
Dracula (1931)
Feast
Friday the 13th
Halloween (78)
Hellraiser
Night of the living Dead
Psycho
The Haunting
The Incredible Shrinking Man
Waitress

How’s that for a list?
And how can anyone say whats the best one there, well the judges, overwhelmingly did have a winner – a simple idea, with a simple yet direct story – big bad wolf all over again – this time the wolf became Michael Myers and the three little pigs – his human victims.

John Carpenter again weaved his magic and came up with a now iconic film, originally to be called The Baby-Sitter Murders, then a slice (forgive the pun) of genius, gave its new and unforgotten title.

The Winner of the Best Screen Play is


HALLOWEEN

If you would take a chill pill and read through the other official thread, you might actually realise something.

And btw, compare that to the awards of last night in THIS thread.

And yes the awards were done last night by various people which is how it was meant to be....

and that somehow means that this was not a waste of time?

Read what you wrote, again. By saying that you are basically slapping the people involved in this long and arduous project, especially Tic.

At least now, everything is neat and clean, and can be read easily and quickly by anyone.

And finally, see my posts. Each go with the quotes which YOU all made in the show last night.

On behalf of Disease, I apologise to each and everyone associated with this project. Please don't take his words otherwise.

[Disease]

I'm not slapping anyone, My point is rather blatant, it is being done a second time......

If you want to make an apology then don't do it on behalf of me, I speak for myself...

[stygianwitch]

Actually, it isn't, __V__ is tidying it up for us, if you look at what he's done you'll see that all the quotes and posters etc are exactly how they were presented last night, but without anyone else jumping in the middle of the presentations and without all the crap

well this was kind of pointless then wasn't it!

There are two ways you can look at it:

1 - it was pointless, in which case i'm sure you won't want to take part in any future project

or

2- it was a valuable learning exercise, mistakes were made and that's something we can change in future projects

Those of us that put a lot of time and effort into it prefer to learn from it :)

[Disease]

Well actually it's not all the same, the posters aren't exact the same quotes etc...

And as for the waste of time, I was here well before and waited around....

And then it is done again , if you can't see my point you are blind.

p.s, if it's the same or not, that's not the point I was getting at... I'm not here to argue or start any shit, I simply felt as though, my time had no worth all of a sudden... but it was give to V by tic to do this way and it was his project, so who am I to say anything... I'm just glad it came about and I guess a bit dissapointed with the outcome last night.

Believe me, all your efforts are well thought of and in a way I'm glad each one of you is commenting on the subject - at least some of you, now feel just as I do. I didn't suggest this to waste peoples time, it was merely a way of allowing those people who wanted to take part, a means of doing so.

It certainly has changed my view on things.

@Disease : I hope you received the PM, and don't feel your participation was un-needed. It was.

Before the awards started, and several times previously, I deliberately took the time to thank everyone for taking part and I still feel that way.

Originally, there was NO judges, it was simply a case of sending your votes - I would post them up. Job done. - but then its not my forum, even though I think I now officially own this thread :rolleyes: and thats why I suggested Judges, so it would be the HDC forums awards.

But like I said, it certainly has changed my view on things ......... for better or worse.

[GorePhobia]

I actually feel the same way he does to be honest. I know I was a bit late and messed some things up but if we were going to do another thread we should have did it ourselves. There are still people in the new one talking before it's over like ferret and alkytrio. We should have wrote down who was going where and then said alright this person post first, then this person, then this person, and the first post on the thread should have stated PLEASE DON'T TALK IN THE THREAD UNTILL WE FINISH POSTING ALL THE AWARDS.

Because I took the time out to get all different pictures for each nominee and stuff and now it's a waste because it was moved. The only people getting recoginiton in the new thread are V and tic and then V is saying thanks to Jenna and Styg. What about the same amount of work myself and Disease did?

[Bub the Zombie]

All of you did a great job.

Most of you senior members should know that personal recognition comes last when it is a team effort involving so many people. You might argue that it was a bad idea about suggesting to post them in a new thread, but look at it this way, at least now we don't have to wade through so many pages and intermingled, haphazard posts to find out the results.

And finally, if this entire exercise was conducted for getting your own names in the spotlight, and not for the rest of us, it sort of defeats the purpose automatically, dont cha think?

My 2 cents in.

[GorePhobia]

Well I agree Bub it shouldn't be for recognition but we should get credit where credit is due if everyone else is getting it don't you think?

[Bub the Zombie]

When you agreed to be a part of this, you automatically got full credits, mate. Everybody knows what your part was. What more did you want?

[GorePhobia]

Who knows. All I am saying is I think we should have all been informed and been able to post our awards we chose in this new thread.

[Bub the Zombie]

Just noticed that the official Awards thread is closed, and if a moderator reads this, can that wonderful thread be a sticky mate? Otherwise it might get buried among much lesser useful and countless threads.

And gorephobia, I have no idea what agreement you all had between yourselves. From what I see, it looks like severe lack of communication. For planning a ceremony between participating members, that too from different countries, a schedule is very important. But in the actual presentation, no such thing was evident. It started very smoothly, but all of a sudden everyone jumped on everyone else's posts and it became shoddy real fast. Do not take it otherwise mate, and I agree that you all put in a lot of effort, but you would have lost interest in the show yourself if you were a neutral spectator.

I am one of those who is actually glad that one person took it upon himself to re-post the entire thing by putting everything aside, and actually devoted so much time and effort to do it. That too in half a day's time.

So let us give credit where credit is due, and not stoop to ferretchucker's IQ levels by being whiny and a crybaby. You all did a wonderful job, and each one of you is lauded and appreciated by all of us, if I may speak for all HDC members.

I conclude this by asking again for the wonderful official Awards thread to be stickied for more reasons than one.

[roshiq]

Thanx to all of you for this fantastic project and it's superb results.

[Disease]

You know, this thread could have been edited by the mods just like V's was....

[GorePhobia]

i agree as well

[stygianwitch]

You know, this thread could have been edited by the mods just like V's was....

No it couldn't, all they did was take the crap out, they can't rearrange the awards into the correct order, that has to be done manually....which is what __V__ did

[GorePhobia]

oh wells all is done and its closed and it looks good

good job v for putting it up and taking the time out for doing it and for tic for dealing with all the bs and setting it up and for jenna, styg, and disease for their help doing their awards

Threads cannot be edited by moderators. The most they can do is delete entries from between posts, or merge threads into one.


The official thread should be stickied by now. I hope a moderator is reading this.

I'm not sure where you studied the word editing, but deleting posts is editing a thread.

What a slap in the face. I presented four awards if it was not forgotten and was 2nd to judge on most of the categories. And I honestly don't see a problem in what __V__ did. He was also very involved in the whole thing and it makes it a lot easier. Especially because there arent so many pages before the awards began and he did make 99% of all comments on each awards quotes of the people that presented them.

[GorePhobia]

We have made peace ferret. It's over now.

Who got slapped?

[newb]

C'mon people....hands across the water .....and all that stuff. I think you all did a fine job. Its not easy to organize this kind of event with all the different time zones and what not.


KUDO'S TO ALL....ESPECIALLY newb

[ferretchucker]

newb thinks he is cool,
alright he is,
But he thinks he's the best
...and he is.

Shit, this poem has gone all wrong!
