October MDC: Poll

[TJ Wells]

In honor of Halloween. Remember, you have to vote in the poll (by Wednesday) to be included this month. When we reach 20 people, I will close the thread/MDC for the month. It's a nice, good, even number.

If you vote, you are expected to participate; if you're not willing to, DON'T vote.

[deadkidsean]

This is like choosing a favorite child. I might not be able to pick.

[marrost]

Awwwww shit. Might have to get in on this month.

Voted 80s but that's only my current mood. Just seems to suit this time of the year, along with the 70s. I'll be watching a lot of new shit too though.

[stayillogical]

No wait, you can't close it at 20 TJ! What's the poll? I can't see it on my phone, but I want in.

Edit: And what did you say to me in the poll suggestions thread?

Its horor movies by decades;

60s / 70s / 80s / 90s / 00s

there's no way we'll hit twenty til at least monday (if at all), and in the other thread i said good idea.

[stayillogical]

Alright, hope so. I didn't even see the poll last time. But when I get home, I'm voting 80s because I already have a specific movie in mind.

Edit: My plan for October was actually a horror month which is why I suggested it. 60s, 70s, and 80s mostly.

80s is winning right now with 3 and all the others are at 0.

[TJ Wells]

bump.

[Thomas Balkcom]

70s

[TJ Wells]

bump.

[deadkidsean]

Went with the 1960's b/c there are very few people who have taken the time w/ horror from that era. It won't win, however, which sucks.

[Chemical Love]

80s have some classic movies.

[deadkidsean]

Every era has some classic movies.

i'm watching this movie right now, is it more comedy than horror or vice versa? really liking it so far regardless.

Trick 'r Treat? More creepiness/horror, definitely. It's comedy is more in homages. The screenplay is so ridiculously smart and clever that the comedy you usually expect from a movie of its type isn't there. There isn't an ounce of cheese throughout and it is the biggest reason why it works so well. Dougherty's balance is something I've never seen from a first-time horror director. I said it in another thread, but it is damn close to an instant classic for me. I'd love to hear your full thoughts when it's finished.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

yes. made the cut.

1980's baby!

the way it comes full circle is just, fucking...WOW.

[deadkidsean]

Worth every bit of the hype, right? So, so, so damn good. My favorite part of the film, actually, was looking in the background of sets for the other main characters while another part of the story was unfolding. Such a treat to watch.

[williek311]

Excited about this one.

[stayillogical]

I think a requirement this month has to be to watch the movie alone and late at night.

[TJ Wells]

I think most people will do that regardless.

One more spot remaining! I think I'm going to set the limit to 20 a month, that way it doesn't grow too out of control and we can guarantee a partner for everyone.

[TachyonEvan]

Looking forward to this.

Hope so. Late at night is a given, but alone might not be as easy to do for some. Being alone is key. I can't wait for my assignment.

[colorlesscliche]

I'm stoked to see what I get.

[colorlesscliche]

Just some movies for you all to think about;

Poltergeist (1982)
The Thing (1982)
American Werewolf in London (1981)
Night of the Creeps (1986)
The Shining (1980)
Christine (1983)
Prince of Darkness (1987)
Return of the Living Dead (1985)
The Believers (1987)
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Dressed to Kill (1980)
The Lost Boys (1987)
Re-Animator (1985)
House on Sorority Row (1983)
Fright Night (1985)
The Evil Dead (1981)
Hellraiser (1987)
The Changeling (1980)
C.H.U.D. (1984)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)
Scanners (1981)
Childs Play (1988)
Bad Taste (1987)
The Howling (1981)

[colorlesscliche]

And I'm embarrased to say I've only seen six of those. Needless to say, this is going to be awesome! I might make October 80's horror month and watch one every night.

[TachyonEvan]

I'd love to do the Shining. Favorite horror movie of all time.

Someone'll assign a movie to you (once we get twenty people and I pair everyone up), and ideally you'll have not seen it before.

[colorlesscliche]

TJ I think you should make it clear in the first post that if you vote, you are expected to participate; if you're not willing to, don't vote.

[stayillogical]

I move for disqualification. :-d

May I ask, how do you decide on the pairs? Do you put them on Excel and make it random?

I don't remember the name of the application, but it's basically like that.

I'm quite aware how it works. I'm just saying that the Shining rules.

I've never been shy about saying what's on my mind. Hahah.

I've already made my thoughts clear, particularly in the LOST thread, where I know everyone understands. I wasn't sure if the sentiment was widespread, good to know.

[Talib Scottie]

80s man, nostalgia. Netflix is going to be all horror movies this month.

[stayillogical]

That's 20. We're done.

[deadkidsean]

Shitty. 80's horror is what most people have seen. I surely have a few in mind that one, maybe two have checked out, but I wish something older would have won. Oh well. Will still rule.

Aside from the real big classics I'm sure most people haven't seen a lot of 80's horror flicks.

More than any other era besides all the smut put out this decade.

[IAmNietzche]

Where's the 1920's horror?

[deadkidsean]

30's ruled. I don't think I've seen any from the 20's.

[TJ Wells]

Fuck.
