Repo'd 07-06-2017 03:56 PM

What they all said.

All that and Maniac and Alligator too??!

Now, to repent the sin of voting against Day The Earth Stood Still and The Thing From Another World.

MichaelMyers 07-06-2017 05:22 PM

1980.

The Villain 07-06-2017 08:52 PM

Pointless but 1951

I do love The Changeling though

roshiq 07-07-2017 03:31 AM

2002 was a great year but can't vote against 1980 for The Shining, Friday the 13th, Changeling and Inferno.

hammerfan 07-07-2017 04:55 AM

A good year for baseball, but 1999 was better for movies. That's just science!!

99

Bloof 07-08-2017 12:17 PM

99 as well.

newb 07-08-2017 01:43 PM

From Dusk To Dawn & The Frightners pushed me to vote


1996

roshiq 07-08-2017 02:14 PM

The Innocents, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Curse of the Werewolf, Mr. Sardonicus, and Night Tide...seals my vote for 1961.

Jake.Ashworth 07-08-2017 03:10 PM

I'm in the 99 club too.

Repo'd 07-08-2017 06:13 PM

This one's coming down to the wire!

Sculpt 07-08-2017 09:59 PM

Pretty close here... I'd give 1999 he nod.


The Sixth Sense, Audition, Stigmata, The Blair Witch Project are big hitters in this small pond. Never a big fan of The Curse of the Werewolf. The Frighteners or From Dusk Till Dawn.

Think I'll have to go with 83.

In the event things go "dark" again, I've had a blast with this and appreciate the work that you've put into it. Pretty sure I speak for everyone.

roshiq 07-09-2017 12:11 PM

I'm taking 1983. Videodrome practically ended the debate for me.

Indeed, as Bloofer Lady said, thank you for the time and effort! Loving every stage of the tournament.

Sculpt 07-09-2017 01:55 PM

Pretty easy pick for 1983... quality and volume.

Videodrome, Christine, The Dead Zone, Cujo, The Keep, The Hunger, Sleepaway Camp, Michael Jackson's Thriller, Twilight Zone: The Movie

Standouts from 59: House on Haunted Hill, The Twilight Zone (original TV series run) and The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Standouts from 93: Jurassic Park and Cronos.

Not enough to top 83.

MichaelMyers 07-09-2017 02:03 PM

Throwing a vote to 1959.

The Villain 07-09-2017 02:13 PM

59

Jake.Ashworth 07-09-2017 02:50 PM

Crap, 83. I'm a sucker for Sleep Away Camp.
