HDC HORROR MOVIE DRAFT

Rules For Sign-Ups


- If you wish to participate in the horror draft please reply in this thread notifying that you wish to be on the draft.

- Once 8 or more members have signed up for the draft they will be placed in the other they will make their draft picks in.

Rules For Drafting

- Starting with #1 each player will choose a film when it is their turn in this format:

Movie Title (Year) Director

- Once the last player has selected their movie it will end the round and that same player will select again for the next round and the drafting order will go in reverse from the previous round. For example, the player who chooses first in round 1 will choose last in round 2 but then choose first in round 3.

- Each player will be given 12 hours to make their choice once it is their turn. If you miss your turn you will be skipped. If you miss 3 turns you will be removed from the game.

- If you think it might become your turn when you are unable to login and make your pick for a round you may PM your pick to someone on the forum to post your pick on your behalf.

- If you are the last to choose in a round you will still be given 12 hours for each round. If you miss the first round you will then be given the 12 hours for the next round but may only choose for the current round.

- For anyone who misses round you may make up the rounds you missed after round 10 of drafting in the order in which you missed.

Voting Rules

- Once drafting is complete all players will be broken into matches of 2 where the members of the forum will vote on the films on a scale of 1-5 or by leaving a n/a if you have not seen a film.

- Each film that is drafted will have a link (if applicable) in a separate thread for your convenience so you may catch up and vote more accurately.

- If the match is yours do not vote in it.

May I join?

[Morningriser]

yeah, anyone can join

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

I just want to say one thing..I never pick popular mainstream movies. I never win these. I don't care about winning. : ) I pick films as recs. Maybe one or two of my opponents will see something different or be interested in my choices...that's what I like. If I can introduce you to something new, I win. I don't care if I have all H/S. It's fine. I love the drafting process and I love seeing themes someone may choose and getting to know what films everyone adores. It may sound stupid but this is what I do. : )

[Morningriser]

same thing with me. A lot of my picks people hadn't seen either. This time as someone picks a film I will look for it online and see if I can find a place they can watch it legally and then link it to a thread here on the forum.

[Morningriser]

Come on guys, we need 4 more to get it started.

[Sculpt]

I'll play.

Say, why do we need to list the director? I would think name & year is suffice to avoid confusing 2 films. You know... that you're aware of, in the history of horror films, has there ever been 2 films with the exact same name, to be released the same year?

As host, what's your opinion on how to rate a film if someone saw part of a film?

I think there may have been 3 or 4 movies I hadn't seen from the last draft. And that's including all of the lists. I'm old, I've watched horror since I was 5, and when I haven't seen one,my curiosity won't allow it to go unwatched for long. I say, BRING THAT SHIT!!!

I guess it isn't necessary but it just helps with better referencing the films. I would prefer to keep it as it is because there are sometimes multiple films with the same name and for some people listing the year alone could confuse them.

[Morningriser]

we still need 3 people so come on guys sign up!

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

The director is a big part of the film. If there is a film I'm interested in, I wanna get to know the director, look up his filmography.

[roshiq]

Love this drafting thing. I'm in. ::cool::

[hammerfan]

OK, I'll give it a shot

[Morningriser]

awesome guys! ok we need 1 more

[Repo'd]

YES!!! One more to go! One more to go! USA! USA!!

^?? ::confused::

[hammerfan]

Can I also state that there will be NO arguing/fighting in this thread. If you need to argue, take it to the private message tool. Any argument/fight posts will be deleted.

^^ The force is strong with this one.


I second the civility!

[Morningriser]

I third this notion. Last game fell apart due to people leaving the forum or other nonsense so lets have a good clean game.

Now lets get 1 more and LETS GET IT ON!

[Roiffalo]

Can I call backsies? ::big grin:: ::embarrassment::

I'd like to try again if you'll have me. Back on the horse right?

[Morningriser]

Of course Roi, you know you can play!

I will set everything up and we can start drafting later.

[Morningriser]

Ok everything is set! We will begin today at 4om EST with Repo'd going first.

[Repo'd]

Sweet! I'm off this afternoon so I'll be posting my pick promptly at 4.

I am, however, still holding out hope that we'll get two more signups and we'll be ten!

No matter the numbers, good luck to all!

[Morningriser]

I think horcrux blocked me but I have tried reaching out to him a few times to let him know it was all just frustration and misunderstandings before and I would love for him to join in. And yeah drafts with a lot of people are awesome. Too bad we couldn't get 16 players.

I haven't even seen him on since the spat. Last post I read that he made though said he was going to block you, buddy. If he wants to act his age don't waste your time on him.

[hammerfan]

He's been on today.

[Morningriser]

Nice choice Repo!

Sculpt it is your turn.

[Repo'd]

Nice choice Repo!

.

::big grin:: Yeah, to the surprise of no one.

[Roiffalo]

Toooooootally didn't see that pick coming, Repo. ::big grin:: *respects*

Roi, hope you don't mind, I edited the rest of your post. Getting rid of anything that doesn't have to do with the game. Hammerfan

Not at all, hun. Roi

[Repo'd]

Toooooootally didn't see that pick coming, Repo. ::big grin:: *respects*



I swear to God, I thought about taking something else for like a half a second.::big grin:: But then...::love::

[Repo'd]

I think Hammer asked that any feuding be done in PM, guys. Show the lady the respect she is due.

Peace.

[Roiffalo]

I swear to God, I thought about taking something else for like a half a second.::big grin:: But then...::love::

What else would you have possibly picked? o-o

[Repo'd]

Oh please, I lied!! LOL!!

[Roiffalo]

Oh please, I lied!! LOL!!

::big grin::

[hammerfan]

FYI, all of the bullshit posts are going to be deleted right now.

And, all of the posts that don't have anything to do with the game have been deleted. I won't give warning next time. Next time I'm just deleting them.

[Roiffalo]

FYI, all of the bullshit posts are going to be deleted right now.

Good call. Apologies for not respecting your wishes, Hammer. To you and Morningriser.

[hammerfan]

Good call. Apologies for not respecting your wishes, Hammer. To you and Morningriser.

No worries. I like being a moderator ::devil::

[Repo'd]

Alright, thanks hammer! Looks better in here already.

My prediction for Sculpts first pick is… Babe, Pig in the City. It's a little bit of a long shot, but that dog in the wheelchair…damn it scares me just thinking about it.

[Roiffalo]

No worries. I like being a moderator ::devil::

And a fair and just one you are at that! *offers you a virgin sacrifice*

[hammerfan]

And a fair and just one you are at that! *offers you a virgin sacrifice*

No, no! No sacrifices! Pizza and wine will suffice! ::stick out tongue::

[Roiffalo]

Great, now what will I do with the bodies ::big grin::

[hammerfan]

Call Rick Grimes ::danger::

[Roiffalo]

Or Hannibal Lecter? ::smile::

...crap we're off topic. What theme is everyone going for on their list?

[hammerfan]

Or Hannibal Lecter? ::smile::

...crap we're off topic. What theme is everyone going for on their list?

Theme?! We're supposed to have a theme?! ::embarrassment::

[Roiffalo]

I s'pose not, but I do to help me think of a list. I think I have one for this round in mind. I'll keep to myself to see if people catch on to it. 8)

[hammerfan]

Hmmm, not a bad idea, though!

[Roiffalo]

It's like a game within a game!

[Repo'd]

Last draft I took movies I loved, plain and simple.

This time, I may do the same but vary the titles a bit. Unless all of those gems that were available to me last draft, are once more! I had some MONSTERS!

Next draft should have a theme! Like, only movies made outside of the United States, or movies made after 1980 or something. Keep the titles fresh, dig?

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

I usually don't go for a theme but one draft I did insanity, all films having to do with mental illness. One time I did all gore movies. : )

[Repo'd]

Ohh, I like the insanity theme. Could even go one step further and only draft Mad Doctor films!

[Morningriser]

Last time, with the exception of The Omen, I did all slasher films.

This time I probably wont have a theme.

[Roiffalo]

Some great theme ideas here!

I challenge Hammer not to use any Hammer films! jk jk jk ::big grin::

[Repo'd]

That's cold, Roi. ::big grin::

[Repo'd]

Wait a sec, didn't you draft A Serbian film? There is some slashing but…I don't recall it feeling like a slasher to me.

[hammerfan]

Some great theme ideas here!

Can't. Do. It. The struggle is real! LOL

[Morningriser]

Halloween (1978)john carpenter

you dirty mother fucker! ::big grin::

Roi, darling, I hope you know you can still pick any werewolf movie you would want, despite what Harry Potter says/thinks :p

[Sculpt]

Alright, thanks hammer! Looks better in here already.

My prediction for Sculpts first pick is… Babe, Pig in the City. It's a little bit of a long shot, but that dog in the wheelchair…damn it scares me just thinking about it.

funny you should say that, because i despise live animals acting human & talking in film! I think we can wait until 5200 AD before we see animals knocking over the punch bowl again. That sums up all live animal talking films. Cartoon animal films dont bother me.

[Roiffalo]

Roi, darling, I hope you know you can still pick any werewolf movie you would want, despite what Harry Potter says/thinks :p

Oh there WILL be werewolves. ::smile::
just may not be ALL werewolves this time

Can't. Do. It. The struggle is real! LOL

Don't hurt yourself, hun. ::big grin::

[Repo'd]

Am I losing my mind or did Sculpts pick change from Halloween to Psycho? I couldn't care less if a switch was made, sincerely. I'm just looking for confirmation that it actually happened and I didnt have some goofy HDC draft dream.

[roshiq]

Am I losing my mind or did Sculpts pick change from Halloween to Psycho?

NOooo....!!!::sad::

I'll avenge!! ::devil::

[Repo'd]

I see the The Godmother of Horror is signed in! Cant wait to see Martha's first round pick.

[hammerfan]

you dirty mother fucker! ::big grin::

Roi, darling, I hope you know you can still pick any werewolf movie you would want, despite what Harry Potter says/thinks :p

Wait, what?! In thread you picked Psycho. I'm confused ::confused::

Ok, so I'm not the only one! ::big grin:: Whew, I didn't need ONE MORE reason to question my sanity!

[Morningriser]

Yeah he wanted to change it from Halloween. I told him I was only kidding but he still wanted to keep it as Psycho.

[Morningriser]

It is Roi's turn now.

[hammerfan]

Nice pick, Martha!

[Repo'd]

Nice pick, Martha!

Yes it is! The movie has a lot going for it, including a brilliant director and one of my all time favorite characters, Julian Karswell.

[Morningriser]

It is now roshiq's turn

[Sculpt]

NOooo....!!!::sad::

I'll avenge!! ::devil::

[Morningriser]

I'm not trying to be rude guys but I wrote the rules on how to play for a reason and posted them on this thread as well as the drafting thread. If you do not know how to play or get confused please read them. The drafting thread is for draft picks only.

[Repo'd]

Confused? You mean me posting in error? An error for which I apologized? Is that what this post is in reference to?

[hammerfan]

No, he's referring to me

[Morningriser]

like I said hammer I wasn't trying to be a dick or anything. I guess I am a bit ocd lol

Guess I missed something.

[Repo'd]

Wow! Great pick Hammer.

[hammerfan]

Wow! Great pick Hammer.

Ooo! The Abdominal Snowman! That takes a lot of guts!

[Repo'd]

Hmm. Movies starring Peter Cushing that came out in 1957?? ::wink::

[Repo'd]

Martha, I love Kingdom of the Spiders! Wicked and very unexpected pick.

[Martha]

Oh I just love Kingdom Of The Spiders.

Those creepy, crawly, hairy things!

Eeek!

Oh My!

[Repo'd]

Spiders AND Shatner! A winning combo.

[Sculpt]

Martha, I love Kingdom of the Spiders! Wicked and very unexpected pick.

Oh My!
Me too! I liked it so much I brought it to our 70's list for HDC 100 Years of Horror. Especially loved the shot of the whole town covered in webs.

[Roiffalo]

LOL! Anyone see my theme yet?

I'd have to guess same as, Repo ::big grin::


My theme is kind of 2 themes. ::smile::

[Sculpt]

LOL! Anyone see my theme yet?
Movies that begin with "The" and end with the letter "n"?::EEK!::

Sequels and... 80s movies?

[Roiffalo]

Sequels and... 80s movies?

First part, yes (or more specifically 'Sequels that didn't suck). The second however, the next two (and maybe the third, idk, haven't thought that far ahead yet) are made after 2000.

[Morningriser]

Jason Goes To Hell was made in the early 90s though.

It is your turn now by the way Roi

[Roiffalo]

Jason Goes To Hell was made in the early 90s though.

That's random. I picked Jason Takes Manhattan.

[Sculpt]

That's random. I picked Jason Takes Manhattan.
Well, you know what they say, 'if you can make it in Manhattan...

[Repo'd]

Roi, you have somehow managed to pick my least favorite Friday 13th film AND my least favorite Halloween film.::big grin::

Can't wait to see what you pick next, amiga!

[Morningriser]

I love Jason Takes Manhattan, but Resurrection had no point whatsoever.

[Roiffalo]

I like sequels no one else seems too. Anyone getting the theme yet? ::big grin::

[Repo'd]

I like sequels no one else seems too. Anyone getting the theme yet? ::big grin::

I just had an epiphany. John Hough, Howling IV director is the same John Hough who directed Legend of Hell House, and Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. Love those movies, so now I'm even more primed to watch the flick.

I really don't know how my mind can miss shit like this. John F'n Hough.

[Sculpt]

I like sequels no one else seems too. Anyone getting the theme yet? ::big grin::

- Howling IV: The Original Nightmare (1988) John Hough
- Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) Rob Hedden
- Halloween: Resurrection (2002) Rick Rosenthal

The last 2 are "part 8". Not too many of those.

Is the theme Sequels?

WAIT WHAT. Legend of Hell House is one of the movies you gave me! I KNOW WHICH VHS I'M WATCHING NEXT! 8D

Oh hey you're watching Howling IV tomorrow aren't ya. Really looking forward to that verdict! i hope it's a good one ::smile::

I'm clueless about that second theme. Nothing is jumping out at me. I'm not working with a theme, just picking movies I think everyone should love.

Not only am I watching Howling IV today, I'm about to watch it right NOW!
I was looking forward to it prior to the Hough realization, but now I'm amped up to see this sucka.

[Repo'd]

Watched and enjoyed Howling IV! First things first. The hair and the clothes!! Hahaha! Oh MY. Okay, got that out of the way.

I'll start with the negatives.
It may have just been the version I watched online, but the dialogue seemed 99 percent dubbed, and it was sloppily done. That annoyed me. The biggest negative for me was the performance by Michael T. Weiss as Richard, husband of Marie. Wooden and comatose are not moody and smoldering. Someone should tell Mr. Weiss that.
Also, the music? Ugh.

The positives.
Very nice work by the lead, Romy Windsor, Her character, along with most of the side characters, was believable and I felt pretty shitty for her, considering all she had to endure. The direction was a bit uneven, which, though I love a few of Hough's films, isnt a massive surprise when taking into account his entire body of work. Still, it was not unimpressive at times.
On to the big transformation sequence. INSANE! It looked painful, like some awful oozy rebirth, It had me scrambling to see who did the FX. Loved it, and if this title comes up in conversation, that scene will be the first thing I think of. I thought the Lycan design was unique, especially the appearance and shape of the head and face.

I'd say overall, it was a fun morning watch! I can understand any uber-wolfie fan having a soft spot for this film. Thanks for the rec, Roi.

[hammerfan]

Re: Michael T. Weiss - you notice he hasn't done any acting for a very long time? He may be easy on the eyes, but he's a terrible actor!

[roshiq]

Please update my 3rd entry.

[Morningriser]

I already did rosh. I just got on a few minutes ago...

[Repo'd]

Re: Michael T. Weiss - you notice he hasn't done any acting for a very long time? He may be easy on the eyes, but he's a terrible actor!

Yeah, Hammer, he's dreadful. He was so bad it started to be fun to watch him.

[Morningriser]

Martha, I asked hammer to delete your post in the draft thread. You PMed me and asked when you could make up this round and I said after round 10 and you even said ok. This game is really not hard to follow.

[Morningriser]

ok hammer you're up to the plate.

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

Thanks morningriser for waiting patiently for me. My turn always comes up when I am at work. ::roll eyes::

[hammerfan]

ok hammer you're up to the plate.

Done

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

Just a little reminder....any HDC member can vote in the matches, not just the players..just throwing that out there. : )

[Morningriser]

Just a little reminder....any HDC member can vote in the matches, not just the players..just throwing that out there. : )

Yeah I posted that in the rules. Don't worry Woodsy darling, I think this will be a regular thing here and everyone will get the hang of it eventually.

[roshiq]

Rules For Drafting[/CENTER]

- Once the last player has selected their movie it will end the round and that same player will select again for the next round and the drafting order will go in reverse from the previous round. For example, the player who chooses first in round 1 will choose last in round 2 but then choose first in round 3.

- Each player will be given 12 hours to make their choice once it is their turn. If you miss your turn you will be skipped. If you miss 3 turns you will be removed from the game.

- If you are the last to choose in a round you will still be given 12 hours for each round. If you miss the first round you will then be given the 12 hours for the next round but may only choose for the current round.

- For anyone who misses round you may make up the rounds you missed after round 10 of drafting in the order in which you missed.

Remember, you pick twice

[Roiffalo]

I'm sorry to spam but omfg, morning. I'm listening to 'Ruby' and scrolling through the topic, and when it got to the chorus I get to your sig with the Kool-Aid man jumping out and I don't know why but I can't stop laughing. ::big grin::

[Morningriser]

Thanks, Morning!

[Morningriser]

I bet no one saw my last pick coming did you?

[hammerfan]

I bet no one saw my last pick coming did you?

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you! ::stick out tongue::::big grin::

[Repo'd]

The fun for me is watching as many of everyones picks as I can before the voting starts. It's a blast being introduced to new titles, and going back to watch already cherished classics. This draft may not end until january::big grin::, but it's giving me time to really get into the spirit.

So far, I've seen these movies for the first time,

Cannibal, (Link provided by Morningriser)
POD (Blind buy, based on Deadbeats rec.)
Jennifer Help Us (Link provided by Deadbeat)
The Howling IV (Link by Morningriser)
Revenge of Frankenstein (Link by Morningriser)

Thanks to you guys for the chance to see these!

Movies I've rewatched. Easy to do cause these are already in my collection

Evil Dead 2
Curse of Frankenstein
Curse of the Demon
Psycho
Bride of Frankenstein

So, anyone else taking advantage of the slow draft process and clicking those links? Anyone pulling discs and tapes off the movie shelf for a re-watch?

[hammerfan]

I'll admit, I haven't. I'm lazy about sitting at my computer and watching a movie - I don't like doing it. I'd rather be in my comfy recliner!

[Morningriser]

who is Morningstar and Morningslide? ::big grin::

No! I would have never guessed you'd pick that, even with the two Evil Dead in a row! You know, I really liked the first 3/4ths of Army, but I was a bit deflated by the ending. Anyone else take it like that?

I'll admit, I haven't. I'm lazy about sitting at my computer and watching a movie - I don't like doing it. I'd rather be in my comfy recliner!

I don't sit at my PC desk watching films either. But I do have special cord and clone screen setting on my video card so that I can run it to my large flat screen TV and watch internet films reclining comfortably in my bed. You should set that up in whichever room you have your PC. Or if you have a laptop, you can get this to send it to any TV in your house. I use quite often, very worth it. Just tell the boys at Staples what you want.

But I do have special cord and clone screen setting on my video card so that I can run it to my large flat screen TV and watch internet films reclining comfortably in my bed. You should set that up in whichever room you have your PC. Or if you have a laptop, you can get this to send it to any TV in your house. I use quite often, very worth it. Just tell the boys at Staples what you want.

Not a fan of Army of Darkness at all. I'm a big fan of the first two but part three wasn't my cup of tea.

I know what you mean (I think). Remember the part with the old lady demon, only pretending to be dead... did you like that part?

[Morningriser]

Screw you guys! Army Of Darkness is the shit!

[Roiffalo]

I wish I had more time to sit and watch some of these. I keep intending to draw and watch some of these on the side but something always comes up. I have two days off coming up soon so I'm hoping to take advantage of it. ::shocked::

[Repo'd]

I know what you mean (I think). Remember the part with the old lady demon, only pretending to be dead... did you like that part?

Umm, Not even sure. It sounds familiar, but as I've told you before, my mind kind of blocks out the flicks I don't like. Been at least 7 or 8 years since I've seen it. My biggest obstacle to liking it was that it just didn't feel like it belonged with the first two. The tone of the film was so different, it felt misplaced.

[Roiffalo]

Ah yes this is way overdue. (i always freak out over replying to werewolf related things and in response take forever idk why)

Watched and enjoyed Howling IV! First things first. The hair and the clothes!! Hahaha! Oh MY. Okay, got that out of the way.

I'll start with the negatives.
It may have just been the version I watched online, but the dialogue seemed 99 percent dubbed, and it was sloppily done. That annoyed me. The biggest negative for me was the performance by Michael T. Weiss as Richard, husband of Marie. Wooden and comatose are not moody and smoldering. Someone should tell Mr. Weiss that.

Also, the music? Ugh.
Omg right I hated Richard. And it wasn't even because he was a terrible character but because it was just a terrible performance. I felt sorry for the people having to play off of him, and felt nothing when he turned to a puddle of goo with the exception of irrational delight. ::smile::

The music I thought nothing of so you're probably right about it not being so great. It certainly wasn't as memorable as the original's.


The positives.
Very nice work by the lead, Romy Windsor, Her character, along with most of the side characters, was believable and I felt pretty shitty for her, considering all she had to endure. The direction was a bit uneven, which, though I love a few of Hough's films, isnt a massive surprise when taking into account his entire body of work. Still, it was not unimpressive at times.

On to the big transformation sequence. INSANE! It looked painful, like some awful oozy rebirth, It had me scrambling to see who did the FX. Loved it, and if this title comes up in conversation, that scene will be the first thing I think of. I thought the Lycan design was unique, especially the appearance and shape of the head and face.

I'd say overall, it was a fun morning watch! I can understand any uber-wolfie fan having a soft spot for this film. Thanks for the rec, Roi.

I had no problems with the other actors. Or direction, but that might be because I had read the book and knew where it was going but I dunno. I've certainly seen worse directing.

THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR! As you said, the transformation scene is what makes this werewolf film stand apart from any other I've ever seen. Certainly the grossest, weirdest, almost makes you feel the character's pain-est, I have ever seen. There really are no words for it. The werewolves themselves however I was actually more disappointed in. The transformations never built up to anything fantastic through each step like the first did. We just assume they melt into puddles or pull off their faces and eventually they're just large dogs rather than bipedal manbeasts. But again, I've seen worse.

But I'm very glad you gave it a shot and liked it, Repo! A review from a big horror nut like you means a lot to this lycan lover. ::love::

[Repo'd]

Happy to watch and to share my opinions on it, Roi. It's ALL about the movies, right? I love recommendations from serious horror fans, like yourself.

Yeah, I've seen waaay worse directing too. Like I said, it was a little uneven at times but still quality work. Hough's always interesting.

Thanks for the rec! Now I can give it an educated ranking in our draft!

[hammerfan]

roshiq missed his turn, it's now Roiffalo's turn

Thanks, Hammer!

Thank you so much for jumping in and helping out the way you have been. I really appreciate it! :)

If rosh misses 1 more turn he will be taken out of the game.

No problem. The weekend is coming, I won't be online as much, especially since I'm working 11:00 to 6:00 on Sunday.

S'okay, I shouldn't have to rely on you so much to stay in the game. Between home life and work the weekend has been a shit storm is all, so I don't get much computer time. But I'm not so worried about someone else taking my pick. I just don't like making things up. ::big grin::

If some takes "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors", before your makeup pick, you're gonna be pee'd!

Yes, it is

[Morningriser]

your turn Repo

[Repo'd]

Suspiria, Sculpt. Damnnnn yoooooo! Had that in mind for my next pick. It was between two titles and you just chose one of them. Maybe I need to say thanks actually. Now I don't have to choose between them.

Done!

I'm working tonight, so I'll get to my turn - provided Morningriser has taken his - when I get home, which will be around 9:20.

[Roiffalo]

I forgot to congratulate you, hammer, a couple of turns ago for having a werewolf Hammer film in your list. ::wink::
I actually just added Curse of the Werewolf to my collection recently. 8)

Two werewolf movies in a row, that's it guys! ::big grin::

It's my second favorite werewolf movie, next to Dog Soldiers! Oliver Reed was HOT!

[Repo'd]

Two werewolf movies in a row, that's it guys! ::big grin::

I had The Howling in mind since my last pick and was absolutely sure I was taking it for my final choice. When I saw that Sculpt took Dog Soldiers ahead of me, I instantly thought how pleased you would be at our last two picks.

As this draft winds down, I'm looking a bit closer at who has been selecting what movies. It's become rapidly clear that two of you have drafted a ton of movies that I'm head over heels n love with. Who they are might, or might not, surprise you.

[Morningriser]

As soon as Roi makes her 2picks she missed I will post roshiq's 2 picks he missed.

I am considering waiting until next Friday before starting the voting rounds considering Thanksgiving is coming up and to also allow everyone the chance to see the films they have not seen.

I will try to get the remainder of the films linked to the database page soon.

[hammerfan]

Thank you!!!

[Repo'd]

Sounds good, thanks.

A question. Do you object to half points when we do our ratings? For example, if I wished to give something a 2.5, would u object?

[Morningriser]

you can do that, its fine

You're welcome hammer!

[Morningriser]

I made a mistake, roshiq's missed rounds were before Roi's 1 missed round so I posted rosh's 2 final picks at his request. Once Roi makes up her last pick drafting will be complete.

[Sculpt]

It's my second favorite werewolf movie, next to Dog Soldiers! Oliver Reed was HOT!

HammerMomma, lot's of folks say I look like Oliver Reed. ::love:: Ya know, before he died. ::smile::

I told Repo'd he has to pick The Howling for Roi. But he refused, spit on my dog and punched me in the knee. I told him if he didn't pick Howling, I'd tell everyone he punched me in the knee, so he relented... oops, oh well, no take backs.

As this draft winds down, I'm looking a bit closer at who has been selecting what movies. It's become rapidly clear that two of you have drafted a ton of movies that I'm head over heels n love with. Who they are might, or might not, surprise you. You're welcome, Buddy.

Heck, I'm going into the quarter points this time.

Feeling the pressure! I'm torn what to make for my last pick, but I'll post something shortly. ^^;

Well considering my list only has a few this round, I'm pleased others are taking them up. 8)

I'm completely baffled. I look forward to what people think of mine though... They are my guilty pleasures. In case anyone was wondering, THAT'S my theme. ^^

ok guys so I was waiting for he voting to begin until next week because I wasn't sure if I would be online before then but it appears that everything is going to be ok with my gf and I. Is everyone ready to start the voting or do you still need some time to watch the movies?

[Morningriser]

First round voting has begun and will end in 72 hours.

If you have not seen a film I suggest checking out the HDC Horror Movie Draft Films thread for a list of where to find all the films in the draft.

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

It's an honor to be matched up against you Sculpt! : ) Good Luck.

[Repo'd]

Good luck everybody!

[hammerfan]

I want to try and see at least some of DeadBeatAtDawn's picks before I vote.

Repo'd, thank you for your kind words about my picks!

[Sculpt]

Thank you, Dawn, feelings mutual, and good fortunes to you!

Repo'd, thank you for your kind words about my picks!

My pleasure. Thanks for turning me on to a couple of new titles!

[Sculpt]

You should extend voting through the weekend. I've seen a lot of new films from the lists, like to see a few more.

[Roiffalo]

Argh as usual there's a lot of ''h/s'' on my voting posts. I at least got a few in before voting started so could've been worse. ::roll eyes::

[Roiffalo]

Morning, shouldn't you wait for everyone to post their votes before you say who advances? If I hadn't gotten on to post at least one before I had to ''afk'' again, Repo would've been the only one to vote for Sculpt vs. DeadBeatAtDawn.

[Morningriser]

I posrws in 2 threads everyone would have 72 hours to vote (24 more than last time) so if they didnt vote its their fault.

[Repo'd]

With all due respect, this draft seems to be flatlining.

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

Thanks Repo'd for voting in my match. Like I said in the beginning, I throw recs out there. Maybe something alittle different from the indie/underground scene. If I give someone a new favorite film, I win! My opponent should reap the joy of winning, so go and vote and give his movies some love!

Here is how I'd score his list!

Sculpt
- Psycho (1960) Alfred Hitchcock ~ 5
- Halloween (1978) John Carpenter ~ 5
- Jaws (1975) Stephen Spielberg ~ 4
- The Exorcist (1973) William Friedkin ~ 5
- Night of the Living Dead (1968) George A. Romero ~ 5
- Alien (1979) Ridley Scott ~ 3
- Poltergeist (1982) Tobe Hoope ~ 3
- Suspiria (1977) Dario Argento ~ 4
- A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) Wes Craven ~ 4
- Dog Soldiers (2002) Neil Marshall ~ 5
Score:43

Thank you, DeadbeatAtDawn, I've happily watched some of your films; films I would not have found by myself. So I thank you for your recs! You know your horror, my friend!

I inappropriately was hoping Morningriser would extend the deadline. But I'll be voting on the next round.
