Game eh?

Well there you have it. That's what we need. A "horror game top-something".

or may be....

Top 100 "Top 100 Lists" of all time?

urgeok2 12-03-2009 06:47 AM

i dont see a bottom 100 list as a recommendation to not see a movie ...
personally i'd see them all anyway.

but if you guys are voting and there is some general consensus and some guidelines .. then it could have some merit ..

at least as a warning.


personally i see it as an opportunity for some comedy.
the reviews could be pretty funny if done properly.

You could call the list : BottomFeeders Paradise.

by the way,

if The Villiage isnt #1 then the list will have failed miserably.

I don't really see a problem with a Top 100 worst movies, providing its done in the right way. As long as its got a tongue in cheek feel to it I think it would be fine. I know that there'd be a few of my favourites in the mix, but I wouldn't be offended by any of them making the cut. I'd probably want to write blurbs for them too. I think if you're coming from an angle of looking for 100 films to 'hate on' then I don't agree with the concept. If, however, its approached in a light hearted manner I think it would work well and would serve as an entertaining parody of the more classic top 100 themes.

Totally agree.

And I like the name - The Official HDC Bottomfeeders Paradise 100. Makes it sound much more sophisticated than it actually will be. It sure will test the blurb writers too, to come up with something witty and satirical about all of them.

I am in favor of a ranked list too. Would be interesting to see which film tops in all the lists as a general worst-in-horror film. (wouldn't be too surprised if it indeed turned out to be The Village)

So...shall we do this?

(I ll keep updating the Gaming 100 as we contemplate on)

Have received some interesting PMs from members who have suggested some more alternatives -

Top 100 Horror Villains of All-Time
Top 100 Sci-Fi/Horror Movies
Top 100 Hotties of Horror
Top 100 Horror Actors/Actresses of All-Time


Good to know others are going through this thread and have their thinking caps on. I am still open to suggestions about all of these, and would love to hear more from our HDC gurus on this.

could do something related to music too .. best scores ...composer .. horror themed bands, etc.

maybe cut it to top 50 though

That would be cool. Although there is only a handful of really good horror themed bands... I hate all the Cramps and Misfits knockoff bands out there, shits just lame. It might have to even be a top 10 :)

Are there really enough of any of those? I think we'd have to stretch pretty far to do any of those four and therefore, contrary to the purpose of the lists, plenty of mediocrity would be represented. If we're going to do something as high as 100, we need something where there's scads of good stuff to choose from that people have heard of.
