NBN's Terrifyingly Tantalising Topical Tally :: Favourite HORROR/HALLOWE'EN Film

[Nine Bob Note]

Tis almost the season to be gory, and I want a playlist I can be making my way through throughout the month of October, and expect you lot to compile one for me.

The rules, as usual: up to three nominations each, all of which will be entered into a number of StrawPoll.me polls, with up to the top twelve scoring across all polls going through to the grand final here on Urban. If you don't want drudgery old shit clogging up the final - DON'T FUCKING NOMINATE IT! If your favourites have already been nominated, good for you; your taste is clearly exceedingly good.

I'll accept 'TV specials' that are essentially made-for-TV movies, so 90% of Stephen King's output isn't excluded. I've developed a very definate fondness for Xmas horror films in recent years (well, last year), and I'll be nominating these in the inevitable favourite xmas film poll, but feel free to do so here if you feel so inclined.

Nominations close Thursday 28th September 8PM.

Not a big horror movie fan. Paranormal Activity scared the shit out of me for some reason though so gets my nomination.

Does Twenty Eight Days Later count? That's the nearest thing to a horror movie that I actually liked.

And The Clangers for my third nomination.

Parents is truly terrifying:
"Ten-year-old Michael Laemle (Bryan Madorsky) senses that something is not quite right with his family. Sure, his mother, Lily (Mary Beth Hurt), is the perfect 1950s housewife, and they have a comfortable life in the suburbs, where his dad, Nick (Randy Quaid), works at a mortuary. But what's with theenormous cuts of meat that his father brings home every night? What, or whom, do they come from? Michael takes his concerns to a school counselor (Sandy Dennis) who decides to come over for dinner."
