While I wait for the majority to approve these final SIX films for our 00s Honorable Mentions, I would like to describe the final phase of our project.
We have arrived at 255 selections - 200 of the best films in horror history + 55 Honorable Mentions.
Add 40 more to those, which will be specially selected by me under the Special Recs section.
That makes it 295 films.
We have space for 5 more, and I want to give some space to a sub-genre mostly overlooked by many of us - horror documentaries.
Now,
Haxan is a pseudo-documentary as well, but many parts of it were enacted, so it's not an exact documentary.
This will be our last and final phase of the project, where we finalise FIVE documentaries which display the history of horror films and serve as a guide to the common man about the genre.
This will take the total tally to 300 films, and we couldn't have a more comprehensive set of films to represent horror in here, and outside.
I have a few in mind...
Universal Horror (1998)
Flesh and Blood: The Hammer Heritage of Horror (1994)
100 Years of Horror (1996)
The American Nightmare (2000)
Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film (2006)
I think all of them are excellent documentaries chronicling the history and/or glorious moments of horror films.
If majority are in favor, we can finalise these 5 above for that small section and call it a day for this project. If you have a better recommendation than the ones above, please feel free to post them.
