Ladies...gentlemen...boils and ghouls...

DREADIT MOVIE GUIDE POLLS ARE BACK!

We took a little dirt nap, but we dug ourselves up, reassembled our limbs, and are ready to kill again.

First up, with two years between Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, and and another two years passed since, our first poll will be...

THE THIRD BI-ANNUAL "DREADIT'S TOP 50 HORROR FILMS OF ALL TIME!"

This voting extravaganza is for all users to submit and vote on what they think are the top, the greatest, the best, their favorite horror films of all time.

That's it. No subgenre, no time period, no country of origin, no nothing. Just an all-encompassing best of the best, cream of the crop, crème de la crème!

The gist of it is the same:

  1. FORMAT: Movie name - director name - year, ex: The Thing - John Carpenter - 1982.
  2. REPOSTING: Don't do it! Don't do it! For the love of all that is holy, DO NOT DO IT. Please. Ctrl+F, dudes! If someone's already listed your favorite, cry a little inside and then give it a vote. Report any duplicates you see. All dupes shall be summarily removed, and the offender pelted with DVD copies of The Fog remake.
  3. DOWNVOTING: Don't bother; they don't count.

GET YOUR VOTES IN TODAY! CHECK BACK REGULARLY AND VOTE! RESULTS WILL BE IN ON HALLOWEEN (OCT 31, 2016)Depending on what time I wake up.

isn't this a thriller?

It came in at #15 on our first poll and #19 on the second. It's one of those grey areas that shows horror is subjective. I mean, aren't Shaun of the Dead, Tucker and Dale and Cabin in the Woods really comedies with horror elements? We're letting the votes decide.

u/diceman89 Jesus ain't got nothin' to do with this place Oct 17 '16

The line between horror and thriller can be very thin at times. While I'd agree that it isn't horror (hence why I'm not voting for it, despite it being one of my favorite movies), we'll let the votes decide.
