Be cool if Horror could put some sort of list on the front page. After all it represents the readership of the site.

I know I reserved a few of 'em awhile back, but then things started getting crazy and I couldn't finish.

I'm at work right now, but I have the ones I asked for saved in a file at home. If any of those are still up for grabs, I'll try and put something together in the near future.

Now I know how my dogs feel after Ive told them off! :)

I have read the posts in the Icons list and really enjoyed whats been written, my own writing skills are nowhere the standard of those who've already contributed. However, I will have a go of writing bios for Peter Cushing & Christopher Lee on the Icons list.


There are a number of films on the sub genre 100 which already have blurbs written on the HDC top 100. Can the same ones be used or is a fresh perspective desirable?

More than desirable. The blurbs would make each top 100 unique, and thats how they should be. Plus, it always helps to have another opinion from another of the film's ardent fans in their own language. Makes the said film all the more loveable, and adds to the curiosity value of the horror fan going through the lists.

Over the next two weeks, I'm finishing up two books due to a ridiculous micalculation and the fact that even cats have better time management skills than I do, but after that I'll see if nothing else has come up.

Found my list...I'll take these ones if they're still up for grabs. Wont be too offended if someone else already called 'em by now though - my own fault for putting them off, haha.

• Dead Birds
• Gothic
• Natural Born Killers
• Requiem for a Dream
• Slither

I had Nightbreed on my list initially, but when I re-watched it awhile back to refresh it in my mind for the blurb...I honestly wasn't nearly as impressed with it as I used to be. My memories were way better than the real thing - I'll gladly forfeit that one to someone with a higher opinion of it.

I dont think anyone else has called for them yet. Go for it.


And btw, NE...that is a MONSTER blurb! Yikes!!
