Sounds good to me

It'll do, I guess.

I Always found the "scares" more silly then scary, even when i was a kid and everything scared me as a kid.

Those six look good to me.

Yes, indeed, help me out folks.

Arachnophobia (1990) - Yes, Arachnophobia is an excellent film (91% Critic rating at RT 34 critics). Notable for adroitly shot scenes to fully exploit fear of spiders (spiders coming out of the faucets; the spider on the table that keeps facing and moving with every move of the actor; spiders bursting from the pulsating spider sac). Very effective creepiness & exploitation of fear. A better film than many of the current Honorable Mentions.

Looking for some support for Arachnophobia, a worthy inclusion in (HM) Honorable Mentions.


Sorry, if I seem late, but it hasn't even been 24 hrs yet. As I do, consider revising/switching-out your current HM backing. IMO, most worthy films for our 6 HMs:

Arachnophobia (1990) - see above
Tremors (1990) - highly regarded, well made film, How a 'B-movie horror' is done, supports horror genre
Blade (1998) - well made big budget new take on vampire genre
Audition (1999) - already noted
Flatliners (1990) - original concept big budget support of genre
Funny Games (1997) - controversial take on voyerism


Making case why these current underlined films may not be HM worhty; & best choices to switch out your support for another film:

Night of the Living Dead (1990) - I saw this on Netflix years ago. I thought far inferior to the original '68 masterpiece, and not a different take on the original... I don't get why it was ever made. Why make an inferior film, that's not significantly different than the original? I don't understand why this is an Honorable Mention. For these reasons ask members to consider changing backing.

From Dusk Till Dawn - IMO, it's OK, just not particularly original or significant in any way.

Natural Born Killers - I LOVE Oliver Stone's work. I can't say anything he's done isn't well done or significant. It never occurred to me this was horror. But I wouldn't debate it, just don't know if it's significant to the horror genre.

Despite my arguments against it earlier I would actually rather see Arachnophobia over The Night Of The Living Dead remake or even Event Horizon. I am fine with those though but if there's enough support I'll back Arachnophobia. Don't want to hold things up though.

I volunteer to complete write-up Ghostbusters for Special Section.

Thanks, Villain. I think we can at least go 24 hrs or so for Honorable Mentions. That's still pretty swift sailing. Some our participants need at least 24hrs to find time to participate. No need go faster than that, IMO.

I'll back Arachnophobia (even though I have already backed six films). I will say that I loved Event Horizon. I thought it was an all-around amazing film (and very creepy). Definitely worth including. As for the Night of the Living Dead remake, I do not remember it enough to have an opinion. I will try to watch it tonight though.

All through this process I've been astounded by the support the NOTLD remake has gotten. I think it's an inferior film in every way.

Yeah me too. I'm really surprised it got on. I'd really like to replace it.

While were still making cases, I'd like to once again make a case for Hiruko The Goblin. Its one of the best foreign horrors I've seen. Its very different, creepy, weird, and entertaining. I believe it deserves at least an honorable mention.
