The Exorcist

The Exorcist

Alien is fantastic but leans more towards Sci-fi which is great but The Exorcist is straight- up horror. And I like it better.

The Exorcist

It won the last tournament.

Still taking votes!!!

It's still close: 6-4... expecting another 4-6 votes for this...

Final Match: The Exorcist Vs Alien


Yeah, that's a big hole in your Horror experience. It's considered by most to be one of the scariest. Won the Golden Globe for Best Picture, among other awards and Oscars. It's streaming on Amazon. You can see it and update your vote.

It did? I think I missed that one. Was it last year?

I only barely remember seeing parts of Exorcist when I was very young. It probably scared me with the demon in the house. That's the only thing I remember from it.

I'm going to watch the whole series. I remember a reboot or maybe TV show with a character in the desert. The scene looked cool because I tend to like old religious stuff that turns up in the middle of nowhere.

No, it’s about 10 years ago, I think.

Maybe we could do this every year. For example with the stipulation that you can not nominate a film you nominated last year.

Still taking votes!!! Any HDC member may vote.

Vote Final Match: The Exorcist Vs Alien

Unless I die, we'll start doing this every year, probably try to start Oct 1st.

What do you mean exactly when you said, "with the stipulation that you can not nominate a film you nominated last year"? You mean the same film can't win 2 years in a row? Or do you mean each participant can't nominate the same 5 or 10 films they did last year? Or you mean something else?

Last HDC Best Horror Film All-time was 2016, 4 years ago.
Very, very close... in dog years.

I think he means more like the results will just keep repeating themselves. Maybe next October we could do something like " Best Werewolf film" or "Best Vampire film" or "Best Frankenstein film" , "Best Slasher"...that sort of thing.
