HDC Presents: 100 Years of Horror

[neverending]

IMDB has a strange way of categorizing films. It tends to label mysteries and detective films as horror, when they are not. I don't think the Charlie Chan films belong on the list.


First draft of my list came to exactly 20 films, so no editing needed. Still, the 30s were one of the greatest decades for horror, and a lot of worthy entries will have to be overlooked.

If Maniac doesn't make it, I'm staging a protest.

And a lot of these films don't have a premise which is exactly horror, per se. Still, as a base for a master list, it's the only reliable source on hand.

Each movie nominated and ending the round with 1 vote will be given a chance. The chooser will be asked to put forth their argument/reasons for choosing that film, and they can ask for popular opinion based on their reasons. If more than 5 people are in favor, it will be marked. If not, it will be discarded.

Three lists have already come in thick and fast - neverending, hammerfan & Fearonsarms, thank you for submitting your choices so quickly. Let's see some more lists before Christmas fever takes over, folks!

It's almost worth not voting for it just to see the nature of the protest. :cool:

The Most Dangerous Game,
The Testament of Dr. Mabuse,
& the Spanish Dracula
...though I have them in my collection but still haven't seen them yet.:o
I'll send my list as soon as I check them out soon.

Totally dragging my heels on this one, sorry... Christmas has me a little behind the pace!

I'll get on it though, don't end the voting for this decade without me, please! :cool:

Don't worry, Straker. Voting for any era won't be ended until we have crossed all the decades of horror.

In fact, voting for the 1st era (1890s-1920s) is still open, for anyone wishing to submit their list.

Even if someone logs in very late and goes through this thread, he/she can submit their lists for ALL the decades of horror, if they choose to. Voting is open till we close the final decade (2000-2010).


Thank you for submitting the 5th list for the 30s, Despare. :)

Let's see some more before the New Year rolls in, people!
