The Wonder Years of Horror Tournament

[_____V_____]

So, it's been awhile since one of these came along...

But, truth be said, I look around the sections of HDC - the top 100/200 compilations, the tournaments which stretched through months, the Battle Royales - whew, so much time and effort went into all of those.

I remember sitting through 5-6 hours at a stretch in front of the computer punching the top 100s or the BR Hunting Zone outings continuously, forgetting to even eat or drink, or deliberately skipping breakfast/lunch/dinner even, not to mention the endless hours poring through sites for posters/trailers, etc. Just check the times on the posts of the compilations, or the BRs, to have an idea...

Also, getting up at insane local hours to announce the HDC Awards in conjunction with Neverending's Halloween night broadcast on NEW Radio. (since I live on the other side of the world)

Wow...you must think I was pretty mad to have put real life on hold (or on notice), while I ensured that all my work on here was updated and complete.

But now, with server downtimes stretching out and no updates to the lease updation which will expire sometime in 2018, I wonder... when they finally pull HDC's plug for good - all the compilations, tournaments, BRs would be gone, forever - vanished into the cyberspace, and apparently the stored database of HDC on some remote Japanese/Russian server would be obliterated to make way for something else, something new.

Which made me think - can we have one final run of one of these tournaments which made our HDC forums unique on the Internet? They were so popular back in their days that we used to have over 4,500 posts in a single tournament which stretched to 6-7, sometimes 8 months!

I have an idea brewing in my mind since yesterday, after talking to Hammerfan. Hopefully it might come to fruition by tomorrow, and we might get to complete it before HDC is gone for good.

We shall be pitting the most popular years of the horror genre against each other. For example, 1975 is well-known for Jaws (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073195/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), Deep Red (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073582/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) & Trilogy of Terror (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073820/?ref_=nv_sr_1), while 2000 saw the induction of American Psycho (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144084/?ref_=nv_sr_1), Battle Royale (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266308/?ref_=nv_sr_1) & Final Destination (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0195714/?ref_=nv_sr_1) into the genre. We pit these years against each other in a 3-way contest, and the winner moves ahead. So on until we find our Champion of Horror Year, and crown it as the winner of the tournament.

I will need the co-operation of all active and lurking members, both new and old, to make this a success, hence I humbly request all of you for maximum participation in this small effort of mine.

So...what say, guys? One last hurrah before we ride into the sunset in a blaze of glory?

First match will be up soon.

[hammerfan]

Sounds awesome!!! I'm ready!

I won't be online tomorrow, it's my uncle's funeral. But, I WILL be online on Thursday.

[MichaelMyers]

Once more into the fray!

[anglewitch]

Count me in.

[Bloof]

I shall do my best for any year in the 80's!!!

[Repo'd]

Love it! I can't wait!

Thanks, guys.

Framework and shortlisting till the mid-50s is now complete.

The 80s will need your support, considering the competition.

1931 looks the toughest to beat so far, followed by 1954.

[anglewitch]

I might hit the 1930's or the 1970's
Not quite sure yet.

[_____V_____]

Reached 1975, and calling it a night. (past 1 AM here)

Hoo-boy! If you are thinking that this tournament will be easy, wait till you see the choices for each year. ::shocked::

If I were to vote in this, pretty damn sure that I'll be losing my sleep debating over a possible winner in each and every match.

[Repo'd]

Bring it on V! I've spent decades in front of a wavering television screen preparing for this moment!

[roshiq]

OMG! That's the ultimate great idea for a HDC tourney, V! Though I guess 70s (particularly 1979 ;) going to lead all through the final but I'll fight for 60s...my favorite decade of horror!

HAMMERFAN, GO TO CONDITION YELLOW! WE'VE GOT TO STOP HER!

Whatta ya mean? If cheating isn't ok, who will participate?

GO TO CONDITION RED! REPO'D IS IN ON IT TOO!

[Bloof]

Roshiq makes a very good point about the 70s though.

[Repo'd]

I think several decades are strong contenders. We have a of giant monster fans here, so the 50's could be a real sleeper.

Wait till you see the 80s lineup, some of the 90s, and the 00s too!


DIE 60's! DIE!

Shh. You will make the Hammer Horror fans mad, specially...you know who.

Indeed.

Although we won't be seeing any of Godzilla's versus films in this. I took Jurassic Park in for 1993, though.


So, I have just entered 2005. The final list should be ready in about an hour. Expect the first match to roll out then.

Lick your lips and shiver in anticipation! ::cool::

[anglewitch]

LIVE 60's! LIVE!

And so, we tee off. Possibly for the final time, ever...

First Horror Year to 5 votes wins.

[anglewitch]

1972!!!

[MichaelMyers]

1972. I remember watching Horror Express in AMT.

[roshiq]

1972

[Repo'd]

Two questions, if I may.

Are we to consider films NOT included in your highlighted films, but released in the appropriate year? I'm basically asking if movies you haven't highlighted should be a consideration for voters?

How long do we have to cast votes for each pairing?

One other thing:Thanks for putting this together, V!

[_____V_____]

Are we to consider films NOT included in your highlighted films, but released in the appropriate year? I'm basically asking if movies you haven't highlighted should be a consideration for voters?

You have to consider all/most films released in the horror year which is currently up in the ongoing match.

Due to image and data constraints, I am sticking to 5 films for the Qualifying Round, and 3 films in subsequent rounds.

If I have to list all horror movies in a particular year, it might go beyond 3,000-4,000 names (specially for the years after 2000). So I am sticking to just those big/popular/highlight films which made that particular horror year notable.

But, to give everyone a better idea, I shall list some more notable horror films from each year specified in the matches, henceforth.

How long do we have to cast votes for each pairing?

As long as it takes for you to make a valid decision. But once a particular horror year racks up 5 votes in it's favour, the match is over and we move on to the next match.

So, be fast. Or you might miss out on voting in that particular match!

One other thing:Thanks for putting this together, V!

You are most welcome.


HY1972 - 3 (anglewitch, MichaelMyers, roshiq)
HY1936 - 0

Keep them coming...

[newb]

I really would hate to see 1936 get shutout, and I know for a fact if Neverending was still posting here this tourny would get his blood boiling ;-]

But Last House made such a big impression on 14 year old newb when I saw it at the drive-in.

1972 is my pick

The Other was also great but obscure film.

[Repo'd]

Thanks for the clarification, V.

My vote goes to 1936. Invisible Ray is brilliant, and Dracula's Daughter is one of Horror's under appreciated noir-ish classics. It's hard to vote against Horror Express and Last House, but the competition is as stiff as a cadaver!

[Bloof]

First Horror Year to 5 votes wins.

[roshiq]

Not only for Lewton-Karloff collaborations or House of Dracula but I'd love to vote 1945 mainly for DEAD OF NIGHT...the pioneer in Horror anthologies with a great collection of different sort of twisted stories that inspired many films later in the genre and needless to say...the framing story was a real shocker to me considering the time period, something that was ahead of its time.

But damn, V! Didn't expect 2016 this early in the tournament. Unexpectedly it turned out quite a great year for the genre. Voting 2016 mainly for Jane Doe, Under the Shadow and Train to Busan!

https://s1.postimg.org/ibv13w08v/JD_UTS.jpg

[Repo'd]

Shit. This is far from easy. Train To Busan and The Boy are very entertaining films, and The Neon Demon is my favorite movie from last year, but Lewton and Karloff twice? Add House of Dracula to the mix along with Lon Chaney JR in Pillow of Death and I'm giving the nod to 45.

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

train to busan is too great

2016

[_____V_____]

But damn, V! Didn't expect 2016 this early in the tournament.

The wonders of a random draw.

We had finally ended up with 86 contestant Horror Years.

Since the tournament format can fit 81, we are having this Qualifier Round for 10 of them, out of which 5 winners will cement their spots in the Final 81.

I chose 10 Horror Years with films with the least impact/viewership. Needless to say, 2016 was the default choice since it's the latest completed year.

10 paper chits inside a bowl, and my little Princess is picking out 2 at random.

damn it...would have tied this up if I was a bit quickerDon't sweat it. It's "first to five". There is no tying.

In fact (and V correct me if I'm wrong) if V came back for a tally,
and 1927 had ten votes,
and 1969 had five votes,
1969 would win if they were the first five votes.

I knew these would start getting painful. Three solid years in Horror, for sure. Crimson Peak and The Witch certainly elevate 2015 but not quite to the level of the other choices. It does hurt to vote against 1961, but the year 1988 gave us Chucky, Pumpkinhead AND Angela! I'm voting 88 in 17!

Speaking of, I just saw Baby Jane for the first time a couple nights ago. Wasn't impressed with the story, rather plodding, not very exciting, certainly not scary. Bette Davis was great, but other than that, not impressed. Cape Fear, that's another story. I think 1990 has the numbers on this one.

***shot load of spoilers but worth it***
During the making of baby Jane Crawford and Bette were one upping each other. The scene wear Bette is kicking Crawford is the most famous because the blow that Bette gives to Crawford's head is real. Then in the scene when Bette drags Crawford into the next room after the kicking scene, Bette strains her back. Apparently Crawford got back at her by putting weights in her dress.

Baby Jane is the pioneer in psycho-biddy sub-genre. I found it a remarkable psychologically twisted character piece with one hell of an unique storyline. The bitter Hollywood rivalry between Davis and Crawford gave an extra layer to the intensity of almost every aspect of the movie. I always like to put it in my Top 5 best psychological horror films of all time list.

not one to judge...but Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and Cape Fear.....tough to vote against...if you haven't seen them....please do.

My sentiments, and my vote, exactly.

Too many of the B&W sci fi monstery movies that I love to pass it up. Not to mention, The Tingler is possibly the first movie that ever terrified me. The "color " scene with that hand emerging from the blood filled bathtub is a fright I will always hold dear. Scared the hell out of me at age 8.

Oh well, congrats to 1967...

Tough one... I'd have voted for 1992, Lawnmower Man and Twin Peaks are standouts, some nice stuff from Stoker's Dracula and Army of Darkness. For 1967, Quartermass is a standout, but not too impressed with anything else. By the bye, 1927 Fall of House of Usher is a cool visually experimental avant garde 12 min silent film, it's on youtube.

When all is said and done, it's coming down to Un Chien Andalou VS Spider Baby for me...and I hate having to choose.

1967
Of course a guy named Repo'd would vote 1967 cause of the film, "This Night I Will Possess Your Corpse"... which is a hilarious title!

Wait till Round 1 is complete. Something special is brewing...

this is a brutal matchup though.

The pain of voting against some of these movies is becoming unbearable! I may have to open two bogus accounts so I can vote for every freaking year.

Hard one

Damn you V! Damn you!

Yep, most of these matches are pretty damn hard to vote. I am surprised you guys are choosing a year out of the 3 listed - if I was a voter, I would be twisting and turning in my bed all night, debating over and over again, and STILL not be able to reach a decision.

King Kong & The Invisible Man were 2 most extraordinary achievements according to their time of release. Still this is a think to wonder how remarkably they made those films & the impact they left on audience back at that time. Undoubtedly this films were ahead of their time. Even Kong is still very much alive in Hollywood today.

Can't believe I've just voted against one of my favorite years of horror...1971: The Year of Giallo begins & Dr. Phibes! Sad to see it may get knock out so early in the tournament.
