The plotline's the same for both movies, but the Danish original has better acting, atmospheric effect and direction than the American remake. All said, both movies are worth checking out. Real nice and creepy flicks.

Well I've seen the Ewan McGregor one before without even realizing it was a remake. I'll have to check out the original though.

I will post my top 25 later tonight/early tomorrow

I don't mean to be a pain,but i just watched Evil Dead 2 for the first time...and it is now my favorite horror movie....so can you change it for me?

Well, I wrote up my top 25 now, but I'm gonna hold off sending it for a day or two just in case I remember something that I neglected or something like that....

Are you still prefering it be sent to your email?

My list is sent. Great idea, Flayed One! You're making history! *Tear rolls down eye* YOU'RE MY HERO!!!!! ;) :p :)

If you don't mind. Also, about the Deepdiscountdvd sale, you have to enter the code supersale into the promotional box, but it should take 20% off of your entire order.

Thanks for the compliment, YJ! I'm really stoked about this.

It's going great so far. I'm going to start asking for blurbs about 5 days before the submission deadlines for movies I know are going to be there.

Just sent my list off, struggled with it though. Probably pick a different 25 films if I were asked to do the same thing tomorrow.

hey I just got done sending it to your email.

Can't wait to see who gets the top spot!

Thanks, Gore. It's shaping up nicely. This'll be the first Top 100 Horror list compiled by a multitude of hardcore fans that I've ever seen. I can hardly wait 2 more weeks to post it!

I just sent mine in. I'm glad I waited a day because I had forgotten to include Battle Royale on my list initially.

since when is Battle Royale a horror movie?

Since the teacher blows that kids head off with the collar....

Or possibly since Flayed left it to our discretion.

He's right.

Small Friday teasers:

Different movies submitted so far: 190
Number of lists: 20
Sequals/Remakes submitted: 23

Number of movies that have practically sealed a spot on the Top 100 list: 53

Number of movies with only one submission so far: 107

Number of movies that have been on more than 50% of lists: 10

Keep 'em coming!

We should make a game out of trying to guess some of this stuff while we wait...



Personally, my I think the 10 movies this is refering to would be....


Texas Chainsaw Massacre
NotLD
DawnotLD
DayotD
Psycho
Evil Dead 2
Army of Darkness
Halloween
ANOES
Exorcist


That'd be my guess.

shameless bump

Good job;)

Monday morning teaser:

Movies that have been in the #1 position after 5 lists: 8

Of those 8, those still in the top 5: 4

Number of lists submitted: 23

Number of movies on over half those lists: 9

Different movies submitted so far: 200

Days left to submit: 9

Once again, thanks to everyone who has submitted lists so far. It's been a lot of fun.

personally i'd say HDC and whatever people are in charge of the site should promote the hell out of this list - its the kind of things papers and magazines eat up as filler entertainment news. but that's assuming that whoever is actually in charge (i.e., makes money off of) this site actually looks at the forum.

oh well -what do i know (stupid monkey)

Thanks Zero! I really hope people take advantage of this and send in their lists before deadline. I think it's important for as many people jump in as possible. That way, it's OUR list, not just 25 of us.

On a seperate note, at the end of the week I'll probably start requesting blurbs for those movies which are without a doubt going to be in the Top 100. I hope to be able to post the entire list by the 4th of July. That way everyone can read it and discuss for some drunken/sober holiday fun.

Excellent idea!!
Just posted mine, but already thinking of films I maybe should have had in there! It is tuff to narrow it down to 25. Can't wait for results!

...so when was the deadline ?....I will post mine in a couple of days..

Flayed, I will be out of town from June 23rd-30th but would really like to help out writing a blurb or two. If it's not too much to ask, would it be possible for you to let me do mine before I leave on Friday? (Like maybe just let me do one for a film that's already made the list for sure or something?)

Sorry to be a pain...

Then deadline is June 27th. Sure, bwind, I'll get you a blurb or three!;)

I m thinking of these when it comes to the scariest top 10 :-

(in no particular order)

Phantom of the Opera (1925)
House of Wax (1953)
Psycho (1960)
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Asylum (1972)
Jaws (1972)
The Exorcist (1973)
Carrie (1976)
Alien (1979)
Final Destination (1999)


I m sure these would make it into the top 25 at least. But for the best horror movie, I d have to think differently and post later.

(point to remember, these are the most scariest movies, not the best horror movies, in my opinion)

Well, not to make a bunch of extra work for Flayed (though, hell what do i care) - after tabulating the results he should go back and see whose list was closest to the final top 25. that person could then be crowned Queen or King of HDC and we could all bow and serve their every whim. . . (assuming, of course, that I am the winner - otherwise they can just sod off)

That might be sorta hard to determine though... What if one person has all 25 films on their list, but in a jumbled order while someone else nailed the top 10 in order and the missed the other 15? Who would win?

easy ---- ME


Seriously though, perhaps you could use the same point system Flayed is using to determine the top 25 -

(to be honest, i don't really know if that would work - i trust flay to figure it out and then annoint me winner and then everyone can celebrate my simian superiority!)

Yeah, I didn't quite appreciate the mathematical acrobatics that were going to be involved when I first started. It's not quite as nightmarish now that I've gotten all of the bugs worked out, but my Excel spreadsheet still looks like an accountants wet dream.

I'll happily announce who got the closest after the list is posted. It shouldn't be that hard.

BTW, just remeber, you have ONE WEEK left to send in your lists. I'd like at least five more if possible to help settle the order a bit more. I'll probably pass out more blurb requests this Friday.

ahem...


:D

this is precisely the basis of my LAW SUIT

Hmmm... You still need 5 more? Are there any members here that you would have expected to get a reply from that you haven't yet? It might be worth shooting them an IM just in case they aren't coming in to this thread for whatever reason...


Or, I know what you can do! Post a list here of everyone that has submitted a reply & then we can all go get on the slackers who should have done it but haven't.



Okay, I'm off to write up my blurbs now. :D

3 blurbs sent to your IM.

Actually, there are only two people left who said they would be contributing that I haven't gotten lists from (you KNOW who you are :D)

I've gotten lists from just about everyone I've expected to, and a few from people I really had no idea would jump in. There are a few that I'm a little disappointed that haven't sent a list or expressed any interest, but they still have 6 days left. So we'll see.;)

Ok, I'll be handing out some blurb requests today. They needn't be anything fancy, just a small paragraph about the movie & your thoughts on it. Blurbs can be PM'd directly to me.

On that note, I'll do a daily reminder, because right now THERE ARE ONLY 5 DAYS left to get your lists in!

Thanks to everyone who has participated thus far!

-Flayed

Okay guys. 4 DAYS LEFT and I've not received a new list in 2 days. What do you want me to do? Dress up in a monkey suit and dance?! NEVER! I have zero to do that, and he doesn't even have to dress up. Just wear a bow tie.

Anyway, blurbs have started coming in, and they're awesome. I really hope a couple more of you decide you want to jump in and be a part of this project. I know I'll probably get a few emails at 11:59pm on tuesday night. Hey, I do that shit myself with my taxes. I just really want everyone to participate. SO GET THOSE LISTS IN!!!

Okay if I remember this correctly,I DID send you my list right?

Yes, Dante. As a matter of fact, you were the first person to send one. You win a Snickers Bar!*

*You have to travel to your local Snickers dealer & pay for it yourself. But you've still won! Congratulations! ;)

Anyways, don't make me start blackmailing you! You know who you are if you don't have your list in! Get it going!

Wooooooo!I now will enjoy the hell out of this snickers bar.:cool:

Im in the process of writing my blurbs...I keep re-writing them because I never think they sound good enough.
