"I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning." --- Quentin Tarantino ::::::::::: MY CRITERIA FOR DISCUSSION ENCOMPASSES THE HORROR GENRE AND BEYOND, SO I USE THE TERM "NIGHTMARE MOVIES".

4th ANNUAL HORRORPHILE HALL OF INFAMY - 2011

Well, I’m not gonna lie about it; I was very disappointed with the response. It seems despite my several thousand daily readers and close to a thousand followers only three people took the time to make a clutch of decisions. It would have taken only a few minutes and, sure, you might have had to toss up between two or three movies each decade, but that’s half the fun.

I guess the majority of my True Believers would prefer to remain undercover of the shadows within the Darkness. I’m not gonna hold that against them, but I have come to a conclusion: from now on the Hall Of Infamy should be decided by just one person: me.

And so from now on I won’t open a voting poll, I alone will make the decision each year on which movies deserve to enter the hallowed Horrorphile Hall Of Infamy. If anyone has a problem with my selection they can voice their concern, but I probably won’t give a toss. Sorry, sounds like I’m eating sour grapes, and I yes have to admit I am bitterly disappointed; I still don’t quite understand why so many loyal readers aren’t interested in adding their voice to the dark crowd. Perhaps I’ll never know.

But enough with the griping! Here are the results, taking into account the three people’s contributions (thanks Nice Guy, Pablo, and JD), and collating them with my own, and with the existing entries.

This year’s prestigious entries are:

Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Night of the Living Dead


Halloween (1978)
Halloween


The Evil Dead (1982)

Audition (1999)

Martyrs (2007)

David Cronenberg

Michael Myers

Rick Baker & Rob Bottin

These movies, director, movie monster, and special makeup effects artists join The Exorcist (1973), Alien (1979), The Thing (1982), The Shining (1980), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Ringu (1998), and An American Werewolf in London (1981) in the Horrorphile Hall Of Infamy!

That's a shame man but I'm certain your own selections will be all but flawless!
