How many movies are we each suggesting per category? I know there will be 5 per category on the final list but when we PM you are we also sending five.

Also I'm having a difficult time differentiating between ghosts and haunted houses. I may be a while.

Yes.

If you recommend more than 5, there will be a lot of movies (and ties in votes) in each sub-genre. So its better to limit your recommendations to 5 per sub-genre.

You better take the overall effect of the movie into account. If the haunted house dominates the background from beginning to end, it will be the latter. If otherwise, then the former.

We now have 2 lists of recommendations. The second one is rather comprehensive, and most of em are well and truly on the spot. Good job!

Just received the 3rd list...and it's delicious!:D

Excellent work...you all have done your homework I see.

Let me remind you folks, that you better book your blurbs pretty fast. Right now its 3 per member, but if some get left at the end they will be yours to choose from. (and 11 have been booked already!)

Now, looking at the stickys and casting my mind back to all the discussions in threads throughout 2007...one thought stayed and nagged in my head. If some of you recall, in the Modern Horror section, there was a thread asking for the sub-genres of horror. Some of us tried to give a detailed list to the best of our knowledge, but somehow it remained incomplete. For an idea about the discussion, here it is :-

http://horror.com/forum/showthread.p...ighlight=genre

Taking all of that and my research into the topic, lets compile a top 100 of the various sub-genres of Horror. It will be divided into 20 sub-genres (or categories), with Top 5s in each of em. This will be a nice test of our knowledge in the genre, and also allow us to make a comprehensive list for curious and puzzled fans of the horror genre.

The sub-genres I have deduced are :-
  • Ghosts/ Haunted Houses
  • Vampires
  • Werewolves/Shape-shifters
  • Golems/Mummies
  • Zombies/Re-animations
  • Mythological Creatures
  • Traditional Pagan Ritualistic
  • Human Monsters
  • Creature Monsters
  • Occult/ Demonic Possession
  • Telekinesis/ Mind Control
  • English Gothic
  • American Gothic
  • Psychological
  • Splatterpunk
  • Slasher
  • Comic Dark Humor Cheesy
  • Sci-Fi Horror
  • Weird Pulp
  • Redneck

Please bear in mind that the sub-genres listed above are NOT final. Its open for discussion amongst you, folks of HDC. If I have overlooked any, kindly point it out and lets see if it can have its own sub-genre or can it be merged into an existing one. Once the sub-genres are finalised, you may send me your recommendations in each sub-genre...out of which the final 100 (5 in each sub-genre) will be finalised.

Are you ready then, HDC? Let the project begin...bring forth your suggestions and lets do this!:cool:
Take it from The Countess this looks very good. Must have put a lot of work into this.

Well, back my pipe and claret.

Let me know if I can help in any way.
