Oh, little girl, did you think I did not take into consideration that some malcontent would try to sabotage this project. While I can only hold out for help, I'm almost assured of hindrence.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ok. So, now what?

That's quite a list there. Are you looking for blurbs? Input? Or just a way to direct annoying n00bs to relevant threads?

And, ACTUALLY... I've identified you as someone here whom I don't HATE so I can only assume that you have good taste in movies...

What are your personal favorite Asian Horror films? Will you be adding your own blurbs to this thread?

A great effort. Kudos, Festered!

So now, this list needs proofing, editing, dating of listings, and most importantly, a sticky, so that members wont have to hunt for this, too. Plus, as I go through other forum boards, there will be Japanese(Asian, as there appears to be a wide mix of films in this category) films that I will find miscategorized. The help I really need at the moment is for someone to collate threads and their URLs(the more members, the better).

Modern Asian horror is really not my expertise. I did enjoy Oldboy, Robotrix, Parasite Eve and The Grudge, but I still prefer the older stuff like Kwaidan and Onibaba. My preferred genre of Japanese film is samurai, with Sanjuro the favorite and anything by Kurosawa. But I go to Toho once in a while for a cheap thrill. Or a really bloody martial arts flick(maybe some Chiba).

As far as blurbs for the thread, God no! This will be labor intensive enough as it is. It'll strictly be a directory for all the film threads.

ATTENTION!!!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Phase one of this project is complete. All threads clearly marked with a film title, in this category have been catalogued. Phase 2 now begins. I need volunteers for the following chores-

Experts in each category(Japanese/Asian, Classic and Modern) to cross-reference the other 2 categories and hunt down miscategorized titles.

Experts on franchises- to correct film titles(Is it Saturday the 14th: The Reckoning or Saturday the 14th Part 2 or II ?) and to separate originals from the re-makes(these can be distinguished either with dates or an “R” tag).

Proofreaders to check for mis-spelled film titles and to check for broken links.

Reformatting- want suggestions on how to make the lists more legible, with the least amount of work. Colored title or link text, tables, spacing, etc. Each post only allows 10000 characters, so the addition of numbering will chew up too much room, necessary down the road. Remember, if you reformat a list in Word, there’s a possibility that you may alter or rearrange the links, so be careful.

You can submit corrections either by pm or in a post. Submit miscategorizations in a post, so the mods are aware of threads that need moving. Submit corrections and alterations in the exact same format please- title and link- otherwise I’ll have to track it down myself, which will create more work than save.

I want to thank everyone who has offered encouraging support for this and any future help on it, and even those who tried to sabotage it(wanted to make sure nobody could, so you helped check my safeguards). I have a master copy of it, so it’s pretty much bulletproof now.

Again, thanks, and Happy Halloween!

This thread needs a sticky btw.
