The Hall of Infamy remains essentially the same, with a few movies shuffled around (mostly in the top five). The Exorcist edges out on top, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre shoots up the list, and Alien falls from the top position. No new entries.
Very happy to see Rob Bottin take out top honours for his astounding work on John Carpenter’s masterpiece The Thing, and a special nod to Rick Baker for An American Werewolf in London which was a close second.
Seems black magic and diabolical forces are the order of the night with demons and witches being voted favourite horror villains.
And the fear wins out over the blood as “terrorfreak” beat “gorehound” severed hands down.
I’ll be brutally honest; I was very disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm this year. I have a lot of subscribers, and I anticipated a much bigger response. Hopefully next year there will be more interest in voting. Or perhaps I need to re-think the way the Hall of Infamy works. Let me brood on it.
Thanks to those of you that did take the time to vote!
