The Werewolf of London (first werewolf film of note)
The Ghoul (Karloff, Cedric Hardwicke, Ernest Thresiger, Ralph Richardson)

We have our chosen TWO for the 30s, which will join the other 20 under the limelight.

Now it's time to finalise the SIX Honorable Mentions. We have SEVEN films in the list which have got backings/seconds. Please go through them and post which ones you would like to include.

http://www.horror.com/forum/showpost...&postcount=676

For honorable mentions I'll say The Ghoul, Werewolf of London, and The Devil Doll

Okay, we are back to open debate, since Villain's votes brings the selected TWO back into the fray.

Still need to finalise TWO for the top, out of the FOUR which are now in contention (highlighted in bold/underline).

To be honest, I still need to see more films from this period, but I will argue for Werewolf of London. As Neverending stated, it is the basically the first werewolf film (or as he stated "one of note").

Mark of the Vampire
The Ghoul

Well, The Villain edited his original post but his backings have stayed for almost 24 hours so they stay. Subsequent post by Straker seals it for The Ghoul.

We still need to select ONE more from the THREE films highlighted in bold/underline.

http://www.horror.com/forum/showpost...&postcount=676

You mean, we need to choose from the 3 highlighted films for the second of two films to be in the top 22 films, right?

I back Murder in the Rue Morgue 32 for that.


We still backing for the 6 Honorable Mentions? I back:
Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932)
Werewolf of London (1935)
The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) Rathbone/Bruce

We now have our chosen 22 for the 1930s.

Also, for the 6 Honorable Mentions, 3 films have pretty much sealed their spots - Werewolf of London, The Golem, and The Devil Doll. (unless someone posts against them)

Out of the remaining films, some have single backings behind them. Can we have some in support/seconding them so that we can find 3 more Honorable Mentions?

http://www.horror.com/forum/showthre...005#post953005

I will back The Hound of the Baskervilles.

I've only watched one of the other movies that got single votes, and I'm NOT backing the terrible "Revolt of the Zombies" :D

I'll back The Vampire Bat

For Honorable Mentions I will back:

Dracula (1931) Spanish
Dracula's Daughter (1936)
Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933)

Just want to reiterate my backing of Mark of the Vampire for an honourable mention.... Carol Borland's performance alone makes this a worthy inclusion, basically sets the template for seductive female vampires of the future. I know the ending gets a ton of criticism, but when put in context with the rest of the film, we can essentially look at this movie as a great early example of genre parody.

It really is a perfect movie for the honourable mentions section, has its flaws, but brings enough individuality to the table that it would be sad to see it over looked...

Mark of the Vampire.

SEVEN films in the cut for Honorable Mentions now, and only TWO of them have majority - Werewolf of London and The Golem.

Do I hear any negative votes to cut out ONE film from the remaining FIVE in contention (underlined)?

http://www.horror.com/forum/showpost...&postcount=676

* bump *

Just to get things moving, I'll give a negative vote to Dracula (spanish)

Villain's negative vote for the spanish version of Dracula leaves us with SIX films for our Honorable Mentions.

If everyone else is in favor, we can finalise these and move on to the 40s.

All in agreement?

Aye

...........................

yes.............

yes :cool::cool::cool::cool:

I don't have a problem with it. I couldn't help, because I didn't see those films.

What about the others?

Fine with me...on to the 40's.

Bring on the '40's! :cool:

Yes, hurt us so good with the 40's! Darn, since it already made the it into the top 20 of the 1940's, I won't be able to vote for "The Beast with Five Fingers on One Hand!". = P

It is fine with me.

The majority are in favor so let's wrap up the 30s here.

The initial backings/negations stay.

Remember, we are here to select TWO films from the remaining ones from the DEBATABLE section onwards.
The "In The Cut" section is NOT for debate.

Once that is done, we can proceed to select SIX films from the rest for our Honorable Mentions.

OR, if everyone is in joint agreement, we can select TWO films from the DEBATABLE section (with 3 votes each), and proceed to finalise the rest of the 3-voters into our Honorable Mentions. which are FIVE in number.

The 6th film can be the animated short which has 2 votes AND 2 backings behind it.

OR we can go the old-fashioned way and debate till we get our chosen films.

Either way, let's hear your say, folks.

I'll back:

The Fall of the House of Usher
The Picture of Dorian Gray

I will back:

The Picture of Dorian Gray
Dragonwyck

The Black Cat
The Picture of Dorian Gray

We have our 21st film for the 40s.

http://www.horror.com/forum/showpost...&postcount=709

Need to find ONE more, then we can move to select the Honorable Mentions.

Straker- you know The Black Cat is not the Karloff/Lugosi masterpiece- it's a lame comedy mystery.

For the 2 films to included in the 22, I back:

The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945)
The Invisible Man Returns (1940)

Unless we're allowed to choose from any of the list, in which I would switch out Invisible Man Returns with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949 Animated Short), which although is 34 mins, I think is undoubtedly worthy of the the top 22.

LOL- Too many movies and too many dates... Dates are really not my strong point. :o

@ V- I'd like to retract my support for The Black Cat, since I've never seen it.

Thanks for the heads up NE. :D

We now have our 2nd chosen one from the 40s as well.

That leaves us with SEVEN films which have been backed, and can be shortlisted for Honorable Mentions. Do I see any negative votes for any one of them?

http://www.horror.com/forum/showthre...511#post953511

I'll negative vote The Black Cat (1941).

Done.

http://www.horror.com/forum/showthre...511#post953511

Anyone else with a different opinion for the 6 Honorable Mentions?

Those six look good to me.
