That's a little easier.

Looks like I missed a cuuple of big ones


1979

I know here's no contest. 1979 may even going to win this tourney at the end but for the moment, like to share my little support for 2006...one of the finest years of the last decade; a great number of my modern day favorites & guilty pleasures are there...Bug, The Host, Silent Hill, Cold Prey, Fido, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, The Hills Have Eyes remake, Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, Them, Slither, Hatchet, Taxidermia, Black Sheep, Final Destination 3.

This swings my vote. 2006.

1979

HY1979 - 5 (Bloof, The_Return, Repo'd, newb, Elvis_Christ)
HY2006 - 2 (roshiq, MichaelMyers)
HYs1948-49 - 0

The 70s fan favourite is off to a quick, easy, winning start!

Very well put. I agree on so many of these titles and I consider a few of them (Bug, Hatchet, Behind The Mask, The Host) modern classics. 1979 is outrageously strong but 2006 would give most other years a run for it's money.

First Horror Year to 5 votes wins.

1962

Damn, I'm gonna go for broke.
1990

1920 for the three-way tie.

1990

1962

1990: Misery, Jacob's Ladder, It, Arachnophobia ... hard to beat that as a group

1962

Looks like the 90s might pull off its first victory.

Not surprisingly the year 1990 looks very 80's.

Not surprising to me.
I gave 90's a luck mojo. >:)

1990

not one to judge...but Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and Cape Fear.....tough to vote against...if you haven't seen them....please do.

and I will admit that the remake of Cape Fear was not bad...but Deniro ain't no Mitchum when it comes to playing badass

1962

Speaking of, I just saw Baby Jane for the first time a couple nights ago. Wasn't impressed with the story, rather plodding, not very exciting, certainly not scary. Bette Davis was great, but other than that, not impressed. Cape Fear, that's another story. I think 1990 has the numbers on this one.

***shot load of spoilers but worth it***
During the making of baby Jane Crawford and Bette were one upping each other. The scene wear Bette is kicking Crawford is the most famous because the blow that Bette gives to Crawford's head is real. Then in the scene when Bette drags Crawford into the next room after the kicking scene, Bette strains her back. Apparently Crawford got back at her by putting weights in her dress.

HY1990 - 4 (anglewitch, The Villain, Sculpt, Bloof)
HY1962 - 4 (newb, roshiq, Repo'd, The_Return)
HY1920 - 1 (MichaelMyers)

Which way will the all-important winning vote go?

Waiting for that one in this nailbiter...

Baby Jane is the pioneer in psycho-biddy sub-genre. I found it a remarkable psychologically twisted character piece with one hell of an unique storyline. The bitter Hollywood rivalry between Davis and Crawford gave an extra layer to the intensity of almost every aspect of the movie. I always like to put it in my Top 5 best psychological horror films of all time list.

...and obviously Carnival of Souls.

Always been a fan of Premature Burial, Tales of Terror and Burn, Witch, Burn! from the same year also.

HY1962 - 5 (newb, roshiq, Repo'd, The_Return, hammerfan)
HY1990 - 4 (anglewitch, The Villain, Sculpt, Bloof)
HY1920 - 1 (MichaelMyers)

The 60s iconic year pips the heavyweight of the 90s to the winning post by a whisker!

First Horror Year to 5 votes wins.

Tough one.....

1987

My sentiments, and my vote, exactly.

Too many of the B&W sci fi monstery movies that I love to pass it up. Not to mention, The Tingler is possibly the first movie that ever terrified me. The "color " scene with that hand emerging from the blood filled bathtub is a fright I will always hold dear. Scared the hell out of me at age 8.

1987

Your first sentence: that's exactly why I chose 1959. Plus, it's a great year for people being born......people named......hammerfan! ::stick out tongue::

Yep, one more reason to vote '59. That chick is the best!
