The only movie ive seen is Return of the Living Dead

[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.

No prob. Everything should be revealed tomorrow so get ready. Got Em!!

I messed up a little bit. I counted 'The Return of the Living Dead' and 'Return of the Living Dead' as two separate films.

So I'm going to fix this real quick, and alterations will be made in the next couple minutes.

EDIT: Okay, fixed. Sorry about that. The runners-up of #30-21 will be posted in a few minutes, and then #20 will be in the morning.

I wanted to do this but never got around to putting in my votes

Interesting results so far.

It's nice to see Tenebre make the top 30 (it should of been in the top 10, though ).

Camp counselors are stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant while trying to re-open a summer camp that was the site of a child's drowning.

[CZAR]

This is about right for the first entry into the top 20. I know most people like the first film as the best in the Friday series but I prefer a few sequels after it because of the impact of Jason. Got Em!!

[miller_time22]

Damn- I've been too busy and missed the voting thread. Can't wait to see all the results. The list is bound to be full of win though, being 80's horror and all.

A boy inadvertantly breaks 3 important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town.

[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.

hmmmm.. PET SEMETARY above THE FOG, HALLOWEEN II, and THE CHANGELING???

I don't think so!!
