No, I didn't get yours, V. If it's easier, you can PM it to me. Several people have chosen to do this, so I don't stalk them:p

Bright and early on day 2, and we're still ahead of where I thought we'd be. My goal is to get no less than 30 members to participate, and we're almost half way there! Thanks to everyone who participated so far!

I'd really enjoy taking a look at everyone's list after you've collected your data.

I realize you may not want to just hand them over (in interest of peoples privacy or whatever) but maybe we could each post our top 25 on this thread or something too (In addition to sending it to you).... ? I don't know. Just a thought. I probably will post mine here once I've made my list.


Who knows... Someone else might have a #1 that I've never seen or vice versa ya know? It could just be a good source of recommendations to each other or something...

This is an excellent idea, by the way. I forgot to say that before. Pat yourself on the back for me Flayed. That's what I'd be doing if I was standing right behind you. :eek:


;)

If you want to post your top 25 here, you're more than welcome. I'd suggest maybe waiting until the official list is posted (that way it's all a surprise when it finally hits.)

Thanks for the compliment, BTW. I just hope everyone joins in. I have a feeling if people don't want to do it, after they see the list, they'll wish they would have.

BTW, just so you know, at the end of the official list, there will be an honorable mentions section where every movie that received a nomination will be listed, so you will know what everyone sent in (names will not be associated with movies). They'll probably just be in alphabetical order, though, so you wouldn't know if somone had a certain movie #2 or not.

Please note one large change: I've moved the final submission date back to June 27th. After doing a couple of practice posts to see how entries will look, I realized this is going to take a bit more time than I thought. I have a 5 day 4th of July weeked, and I want to try to get it done over those days. This will also give the members more time to submit their blurbs.

Thanks again,
-Flayed

While doing a little research for my list, I was at imdb.com & was a bit surprised to see what they had ranked as the top 25 horror movies of all time... Here's the imdb list. (I haven't even heard of a few of these!)

1 Psycho
2 Alien
3 Diabolique
4 The Shining
5 Aliens
6 Jaws
7 Faust
8 The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (It's lined up on Netflix already.)
9 Night of the Hunter
10 Bride of Frankenstein
11 Nosferatu
12 Spoorloos
13 Onibaba
14 Dead of Night
15 The Innocents
16 Frankenstein
17 King Kong
18 Repulsion
19 The Excorcist
20 Rosemary's Baby
21 Kaidan
22 Invasion of the Body Snatchers
23 The Thing
24 The Invisible Man
25 Les Yeux sans Vasage


The bolded ones are movies I haven't seen. The underlined ones are movies I've never even heard of. If anyone knows anything about any of those in bold or underlined, please share some info. For instance, what the hell is Spoorloos? And is it really leaps and bounds ahead of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm St., Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead? (All of which are not even in this top 25 list.)

i'm assuming #21 should be kwaidan

spoorloos is the original dutch film (with original dutch title) that was remade as "the vanishing"

i'm also assuming #3 should be "les diaboliques" and not the shitty sharon stone remake

repulsion is roman polanski's first english language film

les yeux sans visage (eyes without a face) is one of the best euro horrors.

Thanks. I suppose I'll have to check them all out now, since they are on the list and all...

Even though, I can't imagine more than one or two of those movies making it on to my top 25 list...
