Interest in Best Horror Film All-time Tourney 2020?

[Sculpt]

We did a Best Horror Film All-time Tourney (link (http://horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66552&highlight=film+of+all-time)) in 2016 ( I hosted). We had 14 members send me their Top 10 Horror films, and we had about 8-14 voting participants through the 2 week tourney event.

Are you interested in participating in a 2020 version?

If yes, post here to let us know. I think we need at least 8 participants. If you like, you can go ahead and start assembling your top 10 films. If we get enough interested, you'll Private Message me your list.

That would be interesting! ::big grin:: But really, not only are there 4 more years of films, we'll have different participants this time. FryeDwight said he'd play. (Which makes 7, so you all can Private Message me your top 10 best horror films). I sent out some PMs to our regulars. We should all invite some peeps to play, also FB invite.
You're right. We need Deadbeatatdawn to join the game.
Yes we definitely do! I sent DBD a PM. She responded & I told her how it's played. Hopefully she'll join us! I told everyone to respond here.

Cheers for bringing this to my attention, Sculpt. Count me in.

[Sculpt]

Cool. Everyone Private Message your list of the 10 best horror films of all-time to me. (let me know if you don't know how)

Next I will assemble and seed them for the bracket tournament. The films that are most common to all the lists will have a higher seed, and go against films that have the lowest seed.

Then the tourney begins. Everyone is welcome to vote, voting is not required, majority vote-getting films will move on. Participants are encouraged to comment with their voting. We'll start as soon as I get all the lists.

I have lists from these participants so far:
FryeDwight
DeadbeatAtDawn
TaeKwonZombie
Angra

Time to get cracking on my list then.

[Tommy Jarvis]

Are we going for horror or for scary films in general?

Because Carrie is technically a horror film and it's great, don't get me wrong. But imo, it's not so much scary as it is incredibly sad. While Jaws is scarier than a lot of horror films.

[Angra]

This is personal.

[Tommy Jarvis]

Alrighty then. :-)

[Bloof]

Try get mine in by tonight.

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

This.


Also how long does a match stay up?

What if some pick the same film?

[FryeDwight]

Sounds like a ::devil:: of a Good time

[Sculpt]

Everybody is allowed to vote for their own films, (except for Angra).

"Best Horror films". And you get to decide what that is (for your list). I may make an "executive decision" and not include a film if it's obviously not horror. Also, if someone voting doesn't think it's a horror film, they are free to not vote for it on that basis.

IMDB.com will give the category of a film, if someone wants to check to see if a film is considered horror. Some films will be horror and something else, like horror and comedy. That's fine.

Find your 10 FAVORITE horror movies.

You may include your favorites. Favorite horror films are probably darn good horror. The tourney is asking for the Best Horror Films All-time, but that's up to the participants.

This.

What if some pick the same film?
Also how long does a match stay up? The matches will not be up long: at least a day (24 hrs), but we may go two days. We're looking for simple majority. We aren't waiting for everyone to vote.

What if some pick the same film? In the lists, there will surely be the some of the same films selected, that's expected and is used for the seeding in the brackets: most selected vs least selected.

During the voting contests, there will probably be 4 contests per round, one film vs another. Films getting the most votes wins. So naturally multiple people will select the same films to win. I'll have instructions with the rounds.

Did I answer your questions?

Sure, you can be an asshole about it and just pick 10 crowd pleasers. But then you’re an asshole.

[TaeKwonZombie]

Question is...when is this going to start? haha

[Bloof]

Soooooooo, is this 10 of what we THINK are the top 10 horror films or is it our personal favorite top 10. Because i may have done it wrong.....

Yeah, I prefer some interesting choices! We have some cool nonpop picks so far, like Don't Torture a Duckling, Autopsy of Jane Doe, Salems Lot, Hell House LLC, CARNIVAL OF SOULS and Cat Sick Blues

Question is...when is this going to start? haha
I'd like to start tomorrow. If I can get Tommy and Ferret.

You (anyone) can still send me a new list if you want Bloof. It's officially what you think are the 10 best horror films. But anyone is free to pick their favorites if they want. ::cool::

[Angra]

As soon as Covid-19 is gone.

[Bloof]

[Tommy Jarvis]
