[animefan77]

I know it takes a while to count all the votes, but can you reveal this sooner than later. Like Today

I'm not really a horror fan, but I would like to see what is top 3, and watch it on Halloween

[CZAR]

I cant believe The Return of the Living Dead didnt make the top 20! Also I think not a lot of people have seen Phantasm II and its very underrated.

@ animefan77, he is posting the results throughout the day tomorrow which is Halloween. That is the theme of the thread. Im sure u will know the top 3 by tomorror night so should still be able to watch them. Got Em!!

Thanks, didn't read the last sentence of the OP

I just remember the last ranking for directors taking like a week to get all the results, and thought this might have the same timeline.

So far, I only own and watched Killer Klown. Hopefully I can rent the top 3 from my blockbuster if I don't have it on DVD already.

[Show spoiler]Pet Sematary (1989)

63 Points | Votes: 13 | Peak: 6

The Creeds have just moved to a new house in the countryside.
Theirhouse is perfect, except for two things: the semi-trailers that
roar past on the narrow road, and the mysterious cemetary in the
woods behind the house. The Creed's neighbours are reluctant to talk about
the cemetary, and for good reason too.

I don't think so!!

I would easily put Pet Sematary above those 3

[Ernest Rister]

If three films tie for #15, then the next listing should be #12, not #14.

If two films tie for #12, then the next listing should be #10, not #11.

Just sayin'.

[CZAR]

Damn cant believe TROTLD & Friday Part 2 which are my top two films are both tied at 15. These two should easily be higher. We are talkin about the best slasher film ever and the best zombie film ever! Got Em!!

[jvince]

I just noticed this now, but I can't believe Paperhouse didn't at least crack the top 45. Has no one here seen this film? It's kinda like Pan's Labyrinth and it's one of my favorite horror flicks.
