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

_____V_____ 11-17-2008 09:06 PM

You can send in a list.

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

Remember, each one of you can and WILL make a difference. Step forward, and grab this responsibility with both hands.

_____V_____ 11-17-2008 09:14 PM

No special talents needed.

No skills required.

Each one of you, even with limited/no knowledge, can make a difference.

Come, be a part of HDC history.

Well...will you?

Posher778 11-17-2008 09:19 PM

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

Kane_Hodder 11-17-2008 09:20 PM

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

missmacabre 11-18-2008 04:21 AM

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

Painfulldeath 11-18-2008 04:28 AM

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.

La Chat Noire 11-18-2008 05:07 AM

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. ;)

hacelikewhoa 11-18-2008 07:09 AM

that's pretty sweet

Papillon Noir 11-18-2008 07:26 AM

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.

pinkfloyd45769 11-18-2008 07:50 AM

YAY for FC!!!

MM that kicks ass!!!Good job!

Dude Guadalupe 11-18-2008 04:16 PM

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

Phalanx 11-19-2008 01:04 AM

...Nope...

roshiq 11-19-2008 01:16 AM

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

The Flayed One 11-20-2008 07:24 PM

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.


;)

The Flayed One 11-21-2008 08:18 PM

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.

The Flayed One 11-24-2008 09:43 AM

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.

Papillon Noir 11-24-2008 09:46 AM

400? Holy Crap! :eek:

Double-bump.

The Flayed One 01-18-2009 09:20 AM

We all need to meet soon.

Papillon Noir 01-18-2009 06:01 PM

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

Absolutely.

The Flayed One 11-25-2010 07:39 AM

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?

FreddyMyers 11-25-2010 08:22 AM

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.

ferretchucker 11-25-2010 08:51 AM

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.

The Flayed One 11-25-2010 09:04 AM

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?

FreddyMyers 11-25-2010 09:20 AM

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.

Rorschach 11-25-2010 10:41 AM

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.

missmacabre 11-27-2010 09:27 AM

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.
