SHOCKtober: 10-1
October 31st, 2017 — From The Feeds
Here we are, the Top 10, the Final Countdown, the winner's circle, the crème de la crème, the head honchos, the big cheeses, your favorite horror movies of ALL TIME! Bold numbers indicate number of votes received.
10. Carrie (1976, Brian De Palma) -- 26
9. Black Christmas (1974, Bob Clark) -- 27
8. Night of the Living Dead (1968, George A. Romero) -- 27
7. Dawn of the Dead (1978, George A. Romero) -- 33
6. Alien (1979, Ridley Scott) -- 34
5. The Shining (1980, Stanley Kubrick) -- 34
4. The Exorcist (1973, William Friedkin) -- 36
3. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974, Tobe Hooper) -- 39
2. The Thing (1982, John Carpenter) -- 48
1. Halloween (1978, John Carpenter) -- 52
I have to admit, I was kind of rooting for The Thing to take the #1 spot just so there'd be an upset, but there's no toppling the tale of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode. They were close right until the end (heck, the whole Top 10 was pretty close), though, and ultimately they're not separated by that many votes. Maybe when I do this again in like ten years...? Eh, who am I kidding, Halloween is just way too beloved. But congrats to John Carpenter on taking the #1 and #2 spots, I'm sure he finds this to be the highest honor he's ever received!
YES I know there are some ties in there–Black Christmas and Night of the Living Dead, Alien and The Shining–but as I said way back when, this ain't yer mama's countdown! I play by my own rules, and my own rules say the rankings are sometimes arbitrary!
And just like that, it's over.
OR IS IT? I'll be back tomorrow with some kind of a post-game show... much like evil, SHOCKtober never dies! Thanks to everyone who cast a vote! Thanks to everyone who's just reading along! Happy Halloween! Exclamation point!
