Excellent idea!!
Just posted mine, but already thinking of films I maybe should have had in there! It is tuff to narrow it down to 25. Can't wait for results!

...so when was the deadline ?....I will post mine in a couple of days..

Flayed, I will be out of town from June 23rd-30th but would really like to help out writing a blurb or two. If it's not too much to ask, would it be possible for you to let me do mine before I leave on Friday? (Like maybe just let me do one for a film that's already made the list for sure or something?)

Sorry to be a pain...

Then deadline is June 27th. Sure, bwind, I'll get you a blurb or three!;)

I m thinking of these when it comes to the scariest top 10 :-

(in no particular order)

Phantom of the Opera (1925)
House of Wax (1953)
Psycho (1960)
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Asylum (1972)
Jaws (1972)
The Exorcist (1973)
Carrie (1976)
Alien (1979)
Final Destination (1999)


I m sure these would make it into the top 25 at least. But for the best horror movie, I d have to think differently and post later.

(point to remember, these are the most scariest movies, not the best horror movies, in my opinion)

Well, not to make a bunch of extra work for Flayed (though, hell what do i care) - after tabulating the results he should go back and see whose list was closest to the final top 25. that person could then be crowned Queen or King of HDC and we could all bow and serve their every whim. . . (assuming, of course, that I am the winner - otherwise they can just sod off)

That might be sorta hard to determine though... What if one person has all 25 films on their list, but in a jumbled order while someone else nailed the top 10 in order and the missed the other 15? Who would win?

easy ---- ME


Seriously though, perhaps you could use the same point system Flayed is using to determine the top 25 -

(to be honest, i don't really know if that would work - i trust flay to figure it out and then annoint me winner and then everyone can celebrate my simian superiority!)

Yeah, I didn't quite appreciate the mathematical acrobatics that were going to be involved when I first started. It's not quite as nightmarish now that I've gotten all of the bugs worked out, but my Excel spreadsheet still looks like an accountants wet dream.

I'll happily announce who got the closest after the list is posted. It shouldn't be that hard.

BTW, just remeber, you have ONE WEEK left to send in your lists. I'd like at least five more if possible to help settle the order a bit more. I'll probably pass out more blurb requests this Friday.

ahem...
