Horror/Thriller Preliminary Poll!!!! - Blu-ray Forum

CZAR · 01-29-2010, 09:46 PM

Ok the first of the 9 preliminary polls will be the horror/thriller genre! I chose films based on popularity of the website and also looked at a few old threads to see what people had ranked the highest. So here we go. Again I couldnt list all films but this is better than just choosing the top 7. Atleast more films get a shot at making the tourney. I am gonna do a top 40 or so for each genre. Choose on 7 movies as only 7 will advance. I am gonna have this poll go for a few days and I will make all of the polls over the next few days so the voting can take place. Remember vote for the 7 u want to see make the tourney. base it on how u feel. Remember its not best or fav poll, its overall and all up to u! Have fun guys! Let the games begin......Got Em!!

First vote!

Didn't see too many movies on this list, so I went with the ones I did see. Thankfully, they are all movies I like, and one of them (Jaws) is in my top 10.

Go Shark Go!

Yea man this should be a lot of fun man! I just put in my votes also. Got Em!!

Lord, that's hard, because a lot of those films just don't go together! How do you compare Hitchcock's Rear Window with Nightmare On Elm St? Or Frankenstein with Silence Of The Lambs?

OK, OK, I picked out 7 favorites. HOWEVER, let it be known that that's a vote for the 1962 Cape Fear, not the crappy remake with De Niro. (Sorry Bob!)

I forgot to put the date by it. To everybody that wants to vote for Cape Fear is the one from 1962!! Got Em!!

He also has two from the Halloween and Friday the 13th series and only one from Nightmare on Elm Street. Overall he did a great job though.

Like North by Northwest and Vertigo.

Citzen Kane is missing but that could go into drama.

In the Heat of the Night but that could also go into drama but is a mystery.

The Manchurian Candidate is also missing.

Those are just afew i noticed off the top of my head missing.

Foggy · 01-30-2010, 08:53 AM

Evil Dead 2 only 9 vote!!!

I see I'm going to have to beat some people

DaleDark · 01-30-2010, 09:09 AM

Great idea for a poll, but based on the films selected, maybe you should name this American Horror/Thriller Tourney, cuz I didn't see any foreign films on the list (specifically Suspiria is a glaring omission). Also, while I unapologetically love the slasher film genre, Halloween II and FT13th pt. 2 do not belong in this discussion. And how could you miss John Carpenter's The Thing and Alien?

The Ophange is one there.

And I'm sure Alien and The Thing will be consided Sci-Fi films

DaleDark · 01-30-2010, 09:14 AM
