Tournament of Horror Movie Settings/locations

[roshiq]

A remote cabin in the woods or a research facility at Antarctic, an abandoned old town or castle with a dark secret or a large spacecraft with small group of people on space...the settings of a horror story always play a key part to develop & construct the very base of horror that helps to develop the required atmosphere, creates & stimulates the game of fears with the audience & if delivered effectively, it often stays with us for a long time that can even become a part of our favorite nightmare. As horror film lovers we all know over the years, how brilliantly the horror filmmakers have taken us to so many creepy & unholy places on earth & its beyond that we all often love to talk about & dream to make a visit with our friends. That's why I've made some little efforts from my part & presenting you a tournament for Horror movie settings/locations.

A special courtesy goes to our master organizer _____V_____ for showing us the way how to make an exciting tourney beautifully but as lately he has taken a break from the tournaments & been busy with the site moderation stuffs, so I hereby took this little but daring initiative & finalized 108 entries (though there were few more) for this tournament.

While compiling the entries for the tournament, I've categorized them under 5 sections:


Houses, Apartments & Cabins
Hotels & Motels
Camps, Parks or Wilderness
Towns or Islands
Hospital/Asylum & other facilities


As it's my first time for organizing a tourney, so you may find some mistakes or 'inefficiency' part from my side but please feel free to criticize & give your valuable suggestions as soon as it starts or after it ends, whenever you like.

The tournament will begin shortly, within few hours from now. Expecting participation from all regular HDCians, please cast your valuable vote regularly and make your favorite Horror Movie Setting/Location to win the tourney.

[Elvis_Christ]

Gotta be The Overlook for me.

[_____V_____]

Fantastic idea. All the best, R!

Overlook should win it, so I'll cast a vote to the Allardyce House from Burnt Offerings.

Feels great to be a voter for a change!

[newb]

great idea Rosh.....this looks like it's going to be a tough tourney to pick


My first thought would have been The Overlook.....but the more I think about it and living a mile from the ocean myself with plenty of small shanty towns like Bodega Bay....the fog rolling in...seagulls screaming off in the distance...yeah...creepy

Bodega Bay for me

[MichaelMyers]

Overlook Hotel.

[The Villain]

Going with Bodega Bay. Great idea BTW Roshiq

[neverending]

The Overlook.

One could argue the hotel itself is a character in the film.

[metternich1815]

I assume I am able to vote as well. I will vote the Overlook Hotel.

[roshiq]

One could argue the hotel itself is a character in the film.

Ditto :)

The Overlook Hotel - 4
Bodega Bay - 2
The Allardyce House - 1
The Danvers State Hospital - 0

Need more votes but 1 more can be enough for The Overlook to seal this very first match of the tourney.

Thank you all for welcoming the tournament with so much support. I had a pretty hard time to set the fixture and there are some more tough matches are indeed waiting for you. ::wink::

[MichaelMyers]

How about.....Haddonfield?

[bamahorrorfan87]

The Overlook Hotel, THE SHINNING (1980)

[Sculpt]

Overlook Hotel.

[ChronoGrl]

The Overlook.

One could argue the hotel itself is a character in the film.

The Overlook. Same reasoning. :danger:

[roshiq]

The Overlook Hotel - 7 (Elvis_Christ, MichaelMyers, neverending, metternich1815, bamahorrorfan87, Sculpt & ChronoGrl)

Bodega Bay - 2 (newb, The Villain)

No one cared to feed the crocodiles while Oak Mansion got only 2 visitors. 60's twisted little Southern town delivered a promising challenge but couldn't able to defeat the haunting appeal of a North American Cave System.

The Cave System wins & moves to the next round.

Wow, three good ones: House on Haunted Hill, Matango and PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES. I bought Matango largely because of what I remembered of the sets. But Planet of the Vampires sets are jaw dropping. It's some of the best set art I've ever seen in a horror/sci-fi film.

Sorry, haven't seen enough of these to vote. I know Elm St of course, but the only shot I remember on Elm was the one with Freddy's super long arms... and maybe that was actually in the alley? A nice use of a street shot, but rather short too. Maybe there were more shots from the street, but I don't recall. ::smile::

Definitely the carnival pavilion. So creepy!

[The Villain]

People,remember,this tourney is not about the film but the location.

I vote for Abandoned Carnival Pavilion

Perfection was a great setting for the movie and in fact, the movie would not have worked as well in another location. Its pure isolation was what made it a perfect location for the graboids to attack and is what made it so scary.

That is why I voted for it.

[MichaelMyers]

After a few sleepless nights: I cast a tough vote for Perfection.

[roshiq]

Abandoned Carnival Pavilion - 6 (Zero, neverending, Horror4ever, Anthropophagus, realdealblues & hammerfan)
