[thoxans]

pondering a one film per dir approach to cast a wider net, but that's gonna leave off some real deal classics...

[thoxans]

one film per dir

i don't think i can do it... carp, hooper, tourneur, etc. simply have too many films that deserve slots. i find i'm trying to get up to 100 worthy films by considering the merely decent, rather than rightly giving space to the clearly personally canonical stuff i know and love. with that being said, i'll finish up my ballot, and post it this weekend!

[MrCarmady]

Gonna try to post something this weekend as well, Monday at the latest.

Ah splendid, I'll post a new (and improved!) ballot in October 2021 then. I agree - it's easiest to be in the horror spirit in October.
