TOTAL = 182 films shortlisted
------------------------
But we had sat down to hammer out 200 films, you say? As per my announcement?
Yes, we will go through the eras
AGAIN, and through the
9 periods of horror, we will finalise
TWO more films from each period. That will bring us 18 more, and
THAT's how we zero in on our 200.
Nice little surprise, isn't it?
This way we can give some underrated, overlooked films a second chance, and maybe we will find some other very worthy ones to further solidify our project.
Plus, it gives all the late joiners of the project a peek into all the selections made by the earlier members as well.
Remember, the selected 20/22 from each period is NOT up for debate here. We are going to select TWO films from the remaining choices.
I will elaborate on selecting the Honorable Mentions in subsequent posts.
So, sharpen your debating pencils again. Here comes the first period of horror...
