THE 4th ANNUAL HORRORPHILE HALL OF INFAMY - CHOOSE YOUR CHAMPIONS!
July 8th 2011 06:14
So how does it work? You choose which movies and figures you think are worthy of joining a select few (so far) of champion nightmare movies. There are five periods to cover, Pre-1968, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s (including 2010 and ’11). You’ll also select a champion nightmare movie director, and select the most notorious monster (this includes all manner of menacing villain from nasty aliens and mythological beasts to psychopaths and evil machines). Finally, you’ll select a champion special effects artist (gore or creature design) or a movie that features awesome special effects work (CGI effects work is ineligible).
Only eight decisions to make. Make it happen.
I’ve taken into account the previous three years’ Hall of Infamy placeholders and only movies that have featured every year have been allowed to remain within the Hall of Infamy. These are considered champion nightmare movies. Further votes for these movies will affect their position on the Hall of Infamy ladder.
This is a call-out to all dedicated horrorphiles! Participate in the 4th Annual Horrorphile Hall of Infamy and decide the Nightmare Movie Champions!

Great selection. The Profecy? Shouldn't that read The Prophecy? Is that the one with Chris Walken?? You need to be more specific with the special effects selection, either decide on a sfx artist or name an actual movie, Masters of Horror series is too broad.
