Majority are in favor for the 6 Honorable Mentions, so they are passed and we seal the 60s here.

After reading through the discussion (Giganticface, NE & Straker all make valid points here), and just so that we don't overlook the significance of films which were trend-setters and revolutionary in their respective periods, I have decided to make a SEPARATE SECTION for those films specifically pointed out, like Bava's masterpieces, pulpy classics and early Asian horrors.

That section will be called "HDC Members Specially Recommend", and will contain 40 films selected by HDC members on their merit of significance in the history of horror films alone, from 1897 - 2012. These films will free and separate from segregation of periods/eras, etc., and will solely make into this section for their significance alone.

I will go through the thread from the beginning and check out the debates and see which films made compelling and valid arguments for themselves but lost out in the final race for the top 22 + 6 Honorable Mentions.

Of course, that will be AFTER we are done with all periods of horror.

Now, let's check our final tally for the 60s and move into the 70s...
