Really? Not that his later stuff wasn't bad but it could be ranked among the worst ever? I don't know, there's so much obscure crap out there that I think we would walk over 100 turds well before getting to those Carpenter piles.

Village of the Damned was wretched and is the only Carpenter film I don't like. I was just getting at a bunch of people really hate is later work.

But yeh you're right there's a lot worse out there especially when it comes to horror. It seems like any idiot with a video camera thinks he's George Romero.

Yeah, we would almost have to be sure and stick close to mainstream.

The only REAL problem I foresee in compiling a Worst of the Worst 100 is, agreeing together on a 100. See, its easier to mark the greatness of a Karloff or Argento or NotLD/Alien than to mark a movie as crap.

(Like in this very thread, Doc obviously has much different opinions about The Item than me)

And its not an ONLY problem, its a BIG problem. Pretty tough to put in a movie which 5 deem as trash, and another 5 deem as a cult classic.

Already one good contributing member doesnt approve of this project. I think its better to put this on the back burner for now. Maybe sometime in the future...

Flayed has a suggestion. I ll divert my energies towards that, and take over from the pioneer of that project.

If a worst 100 wouldn't work out why not something different like Top 100 Horror Film Characters?

Nice suggestion. But do we have a worthy 100 for that?

And if it came down to this - we have to include Leprechaun - I d rather drown in a pool of acid. :mad:

:D

It depends on what movies you'd let in. I supposed you could do a "100 Scariest Characters" and include a couple characters from Thrillers and whatnot. I know that there are 100 characters scarier than Leprechaun.

I like this idea. chances are when this list is made I'll start seeking them out.;)

I like the suggestion of Top 100 Horror Film Characters better. If its scary, its bound to be in automatically.

I am still open to suggestions. Keep them coming.

Making a 100 worse Horror films would have been a decent idea 20 years ago (not that we;d be here) but the advent of millions of shot on video horror films makes it impossible to do. There is just so much zero budget drek like Zombie Bloodbath 3 or what ever.

I vote for Best Midget characters of all time...
