I have no talents and poor spelling and thus have nothing to contribute as usual.But congrats to all those involved.

There is not a single word misspelled in this response. If you can think of a word that begins with 'A' and is related to horror, you can contribute.

We need you:
Freak
Spallalla
Dante'sInferno
Mothman

You can send in a list.

For starters, of all things related to horror and start with the letter "A".

Well...will you?

I'm going to try and send some things in within the next few days. So don't fret :D

I will send in my entry within the next couple of days. Somehow it slipped my mind.

This thread makes things so much more excited. If you guys need anything else just PM me and I will make time.

Since I was named, I somehow feel obligated to contribute. Not that I wasn't going to in the first place. :) I'll send you the list shortly.

I'll try and work on my list today.

Ahem-

I believe there is a little bit of Ferret that went towards making that picture how it is. :mad:

Though mainly MM. ;)

that's pretty sweet

I'm ready and willing as always. :p

It's true. Props to Ferret for suggesting there be more yellow in the bottom right corner. It was a little bland before that change.

YAY for FC!!!

MM that kicks ass!!!Good job!

I sent my list like two weeks ago. What more do you want? You know I'm unreliable.

...Nope...

I have sent my list, while preparing the list I realized I can also manage to do some "writings" too.:)

The deadline for your lists is tomorrow!

Please send them to [email protected] or to my pm box. There will be big things going on this weekend.


;)

It's over! The letter A has now gotten all the lists it will receive. Expect news soon, and thank you all to whom participated.

The beast will soon rear it's ugly head for the first time.

Monday morning update. I have completed compiling the entries. Wanna know how big this thing can be, folks?

We have almost 400 possible entries for the letter A. Since we as judges have no set limit of how many articles there could be, that gives us almost 400 topics that can be discussed for just one letter.

Of course, there's a lot of stuff that will probably be combined into broader topics or deemed non horror, but you get the idea. Start exercising those fingers, because we're going to need some help writing definitions. A LOT of help.

400? Holy Crap! :eek:

Double-bump.

We all need to meet soon.

So, what's going on with this? It's been awhile.

Absolutely.

A project that was so massive, it regressed into the dark realm of impossibility.

I have here a blank notepad that can be developed, should anyone wish.

Right now, it's a blank invisionfree forum with nothing in it. We can turn it into a great archive of horror through team effort, if we try.

How do we go about it? Well, that's up for grabs. Maybe it will sink back to the depths of obscurity which it has dwelled for the past two years. It's up to all of us.

This is NOT intended to be a forum where people go to post whenever. We have that here. This is set up to be a place where people who want the responsibility can maintain a section of horror knowledge for anyone who wishes to browse.

Thoughts/Interest?

I think we'd all be interested but like you said it will be massive project. How would we go about it. My opinion would be start slow and letter by letter. That or we could all be assigned a letter each or a group per letter kinda deal. One thing to be said is that it would be by far the best encyclopedia ever put together.....ever.

I've often wondered what happened about this. I remember being pretty psyched for it, then it sort of crumbled. I mean, the top 100s are always good, but you're right - it would be great to get the Aaargh-Zombie completed.

Starting slow is key. That's where we went wrong the first time. What's your interest? What small section of horror can you maintain? A certain decade? A genre? Call it out. I set it up as a message board so I can give editing privileges for single sections. This provides a small chunk of ownership for everyone. We'll start from the ground with no real structure. What emerges, so be it.

With so many questions, the most important one is: who wants some?

im in. If evryones commitment is the same we can do something great here. Ive never heard of or seen a horror based encyclopedia. Something every horror fan can use as a reference. Im pretty sure HDC would be the only website that has it.

Intriguing. But do we have enough active members to carry this forward?

You're not going to start writing bad poetry again, are you?:rolleyes:

We'll see. I'm curious to see if there's enough interest to get it started.

I'm in. I can do any art and write a bit. I do know a lot about Canadian horror movies so maybe I can do something on that, like a history of Canadian horror directors.
