HDC top 100.
 
I know there have been a ton of posted Top 100 Horror lists, and a ton of voting tournaments. As far as I can tell, no one has ever compiled a Top 100 list coming directly from all of the members here. It is a massive, daunting task. It is also one that I'd be willing to undertake, if there is interest.

Before I say I'm going to do this, I want opinions from all of you as to how it should be done & whether it's worth it or not.

Here's a basic outline of how I'd think it would work.

I'll create a Gmail account specifically for voting. This would eliminate the trouble of my PM box getting filled up.

Each member would email a list of 25 horror movies. The first 5 on the list should be in order. Number 1 would receive 6 points, 2 would recieve 5, etc. on to #5. The other 20 needn't be in any order, just movies you think deserve to be on the list, each recieving 1 point. I don't really have any great ideas for tie-breakers, but suggestions are welcome.

After all the points are tallied, I'll dig up some info to post with it, such as average imdb/amazon rankings & the regular stuff such as director, year, etc. Then a member would be invited to write a small blurb about the movie (I think that's a cool idea to get everyone involved) The list would be posted in installments of 25 movies each.

All questions & comments are welcome. If you want to do this, I'll put forth the effort. If not, I'll reserve my extra time for watching more bad B-movies.

Thanks,
-Flayed

Okay. I set up an email account. Once I establish the submission guidelines, I'll repost it so the entries can begin.

Guidelines for submission

Please email all entries to [email protected]. In the subject line, simply put your HDC screen name.

Please list 25 horror movies you think are deserving to be on the list. The top 5 should be in order. Number 1 on your list will be assigned 6 points. Number 2 will be assigned 5, and so on until number 5, which will be assigned 2. the other 20 can be in any order, and will each be assigned one point.

All entries must be in by June 27th at 11:59 Eastern time, U.S.

You will more than likely be asked to write a blurb about one of the movies on your list that makes the Top 100. If you do not wish to be considered to write a blurb, please state so at the bottom of your entry.

When all votes are tallied, the winners list will be posted in segments in a thread in the General Forum. If the project has not received an adequate number of entries, it will be cancelled.

If you have any ideas, questions, comments or anything else, please reply in this thread.

Thank you all,
-Flayed

You can if you prefer. I would prefer an email account, because that gives me the freedom of not having to clean it out, where as the PM box has a maximum capacity. I have nothing against anyone PMing their list, it'd just make it a lot easier for me the other way.

My list is sent. I wouldn't mind writing a blurb if one of mine is selected.

I sent you my list through PM.
