Blurbs 2011
Love horror? Have a little bit of writing skill? Want to own a part of HDC history?
With a new Top 100 coming down the pipeline, it's time to solicit the population for blurbs again! Writing a blurb for one of the HDC Top 100 lists is simple. Check the lists. See a movie you want to write about that doesn't have a blurb? Claim it and let me know. Inquire in this thread, or PM me if you'd like, and I will post your blurb in the appropriate place in the Top 100 lists. There are literally 100's to chose from, including one or two empty spaces on the original Top 100, which just recently turned five years old. Get to writing, HDC!

I guess lots of people think you're supposed to like Psycho. and I also guess that it's a combo of it being in black and white and done by Hitchcock. but whatever the reason, even if it's just my idiotic brain that has been trained to think that black & white equals aesthetically pleasing, this film looks great. it is, of course, because of Hitchcock's direction. there are plenty of tv shows and books about why this movie is great, or at least why you should think it is great, but I figured I'd give you one of my reasons. I like it because it reminds me of vacation. at Universal Studios in Florida they useta have a show about Hitchcock where they recreated the Shower Scene verbatim. they showed exactly how Hitchcock shot that scene on a soundstage in front of a semi-small audience. it was amazing. it really made me appreciate that scene and, in turn, the entire movie. they got rid of that show, unfortunately, along with a bunch of other really cool shit (like the Kong ride), but I still remember that, at one time, Universal Studios Florida had something special and meaningful, and not just lowest-common-denominator shit. or run-on sentences Great blurb, little review. I don't expect everyone to be as eloquent as PR3SSUR3 with his Cannibal Holocaust dissertation or neverendings wonderful Incredible Shrinking Man review. Hell, Slasherman used to give one sentence. I don't always write the greatest blurbs myself. No need to be nominated for a Pulitzer. Just honest thoughts about your passion.

Not to sound stupid but what is a blurp? Is that a mini review. I would like to participate in this if that is so as I love writing reviews, that is if there is any movies left to write about. Where do I find the top 100 lists?

Sort of. Doesn't have to be a review, just a small individual statement about the movie in question. The Top 100s are stickied at the top of several of the forums. Read through them if you haven't. There are some excellent blurbs already. If you see a film/person/whatever that you want to comment on that doesn't have a pre-existing blurb, just call it out here or pm me. One you're finished, you can send me the blurb and I'll officially insert it into the Top 100 list.

Thank you for the help. It sounds like fun I will do that.

Thanks to Wicker for the Salo blurb, which you can now read on the HDC Visually Challenging 100 list.
How about the rest of you? Want some blurbs?
