For the last Horror Fest in Greensboro, I'm going to have two "theme" nights. One is dedicated to films of my choosing that we've never seen during a horror fest, like The Stuff, Ginger Snaps, Cemetery Man, Bad Taste, and Phantasm. The other night, "fan favorites", is for you folks. Attendees (and anyone else) is encouraged to narrow down the field of past Horror (and Summer) Fest faves into one concentrated night of sweetness.
Polls will run for a week and a half, and between now and October, I'll include five movies from each fest. You can vote more than once, and the two most popular will move on to the next round and face off against the top two of another week, until we have one kick-ass lineup.
Here, for those keeping score at home, is the field I'm asking you to narrow down:
Ghoulies 2
The Alligator People
The Lost Boys
Feast
The Wicker Man
From Dusk Til Dawn
Friday the 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter

Shark Attack 3: Megalodon
Hillbillys in a Haunted House
Night of the Lepus
Black Sheep
but it's not up to me this time. I give you the power, so abuse away starting tomorrow!

I'm also giving strong consideration to an "After Hours" version of Horror Fest, for after 1:30-2 am. We'd be watching much harder-edged-borderline-disturbing stuff, like Martyrs and Italian splatter gorefests. The kind of movies that I know some of you want to see but not everyone would stick around for. Let me know what you think.
* I promised I wouldn't identify it by name for a whole year, but you all know what it is. None of you are voting for it, so don't worry.
**Thursday is Cap'n Howdy's picks, and Friday is reserved for Let the Right One In, Trick R Treat, and any other surprises I find between now and October.
