The Blu-ray Community Top 31 Horror Films of All Time (please read first post)

[Romulus]

It is finally October 1st (for most of us at least) which means its time to figure out the Blu-ray.com Community number 1 Horror film of all time. (Credit to MarkJ801 for suggesting 31 films instead of 25).

I thought I would continue after the success of the "Top 50 Blu-ray Community Films of All Time" thread. (Which can be found here: Original Thread and Results)


How does it work? It's easy. You come up with a list of what you think are the Top 31 Horror films of all time. Based on how they place on your list, the movie will receive a certain amount of points. The Top 16 films on your list will be scored accordingly:

1. 16 Points
2. 15 Points
3. 14 Points
4. 13 Points
5. 12 Points
6. 11 Points
....
13. 4 Points
14. 3 Points
15. 2 Points
16. 1 Point

Every movie placed after the 16th spot will also receive 1 point. So essentially, you only have to rank the Top 16 while putting the remaining 15 in no particular order.

RULES
1. Unlike the last thread which made you think what was the greatest film of all time, you may list your favorite horror films. It doesn't matter how bad the film may be perceived by everyone else.

2. Movies such as Alien, which can be two different genres, can be allowed as long as the horror genre is one of them. Alien is a science fiction horror film, which qualifies in my book. What doesn't qualify in my book, is Aliens, which is a science fiction action movie. If you are unsure, look it up on Wikipedia or IMDB and see the official listing of genre. If it isn't horror, I won't count it.

3. TRILOGIES or SERIES DO NOT COUNT AS ONE. It was quite aggravating in the last thread to see somebody's number 1 film of all time be: The Original Star Trilogy or The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. These are 3 films, not 1. So if you put the Halloween Series as your number one horror film of all time, I won't count your list. Simple as that.

4. Do NOT put multiple movies at the same ranking. Don't put 3 films at the number one spot then start the list at 4 following it. Put only ONE film at each rank, or I won't count your list. Otherwise if you had multiple films at number 1, I would take 16 points and divide it by how films you had at that spot. Which kind of defeats the purpose.

5. Since this is a favorite film list, be respectful of each other. If somebody had Anaconda at number 1, who cares? The point of the thread is to find out what the community as a whole thinks is the best horror film.

6. Deadline: October 11, 2009 12:00:00 AM PST. I wont take any lists after this. So make sure you get it in before then. This should be plenty of time to make a list.

That should be everything, I may make a few corrections tomorrow at lunch.
