STAC Goat posted:I had somehow missed mbds noms (probably me blocking them out) but Basebf should get first dibs since he was on a legacy team. So he has first rights until the draft starts. I’ll double check that all later and update the sheet. Oh I'm totally fine with Soavi being on a team instead, strike him from my nomination!

Scumfuck Princess posted:I believe we're allowed to ignore anthology films if multiple directors are involved, for the sake of simplicity and fairness. Conceivably you could have an all-anthology team? Goat can probably say if it'd be explicitly against the rules, but if the council is cool with it, and people ultimately vote for it, it seems fine. Darn, I had the BEST joke team with Barry Sonnenfeld. Ah well

On the flip side you had Stefan Ruzowitzki on this team last year. You are free to dump him but wanted to double check and make sure you didn't just make a mistake.

Since I'm hear I'm renominating the rest of my Mount Rushmore with Wes. Alfred Hitchcock John Carpenter Roger Corman Mario Bava Carpenter is down to 8 films so if he doesn't make a run this year... or makes half a run... this might be it for him as a solo artist.

Kind of lends more credence to the idea that we should be allowing previously used films back into contention, no? Otherwise, we're gonna run out of solo directors, and then the teams are probably barely gonna be able to support whatever's left from their catalogs anyway.

I don't think anyone's nominated Fulci yet, but if someone had him to re-nominate, I may have missed that. Here's the list of his horror movies I found that aren't already on that Letterboxd list: One on Top of the Other (1969) Lizard in a Woman’s Skin (1971) The Psychic (1977) The House By the Cemetery (1981) The Black Cat (1981) New York Ripper (1982) Murder Rock (1984) Aenigma (1987) Zombi 3 (1988) Sodoma’s Ghost (1988) Touch of Death (1988) The House of Clocks (1989) The Sweet House of Horrors (1989) Cat In the Brain (1990) Demonia (1990) Voices from Beyond (1991) Door to Silence (1992) Looks like a lot of his earliest movies have been chosen already, but some of the later ones might be interesting to talk about since they're less well known. If something mid-80s or later makes the cut, I'm crossing my fingers for Cat In the Brain or Murder Rock.

I’m of the thinking that losing some big name solo directors isn’t a bad thing because it opens up opportunities for deeper cuts. But I’ll be breaking up the voting pools this year between solo/team and vet/rookie so I think that should give us a clearer look. I’d solo pool is shallow then maybe it’s a problem.

I'd like to nominate Kiyoshi Kurosawa, director of wistful horror films like Pulse, Loft, and Daguerrotype. I'd also like to nominate Koji Shiraishi, strong contender for the king of mockumentary horror, via Noroi, Occult, and the Senritsu Kaiki File series. And a nomination of Hideo Nakata, director of Ringu, Ringu 2, and The Ring Two. Plus Mari Asato, who has a light specialization in horror films about curses, including Fatal Frame, Ring of Curse, and Bilocation. Also Norio Tsuruta, director of Ringu 0, P.O.V. A Cursed Film, and Orochi Blood. And Fred Olen Ray, American schlockster responsible for Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Beverly Hills Vamp, and Bikini Frankenstein.

Unless there’s any objections I was thinking we’d move up the draft start date to December 3rd. The 4th date was a holdover from last year and when I started things a bit later and the 3rd is our comfy Saturday. I just don’t want to catch anyone off guard for them to miss the first round or so. But this is 2 1/2 days warning so I think it’s ok?

For Kaufman I decided to include two anthologies he took part in in Grindsploitation and Tales from the Crapper. It just felt appropriate as they're Troma anthologies and Kaufman is Tromaso even i he didn't direct all the segments it all seems like his thing. But if anyone objects or wants those films for a team or something let me know and I'll pull them. Also its Dec 2nd. So fresh reminder. The draft starts at 12 noon EST tomorrow Dec 3rd! You'll be able to nominate any qualifying and eligible team or add new directors to your existing teams. But you can only do one team a day. You can't go again until 12 noon EST Dec 4th. So you gotta prioritize and try and make the right picks so you don't lose key directors to someone else while you wait for your next turn. That's the "fun" of the draft (and best way to play it fair from some of us spamming early). STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Dec 2, 2022 |

Where are we with Mario Bava? Going down his list of films I feel like he may only have 5 left, but that depends on the ruling of which ones technically qualify as horror. If he only has 5 left that means I can use him in a team. As far as what he has left I'm seeing: The Girl Who Knew Too Much The Whip and the Body Planet of the Vampires Hatchet For the Honeymoon Baron Blood Am I off on that count? If so I'd like to nominate him as a solo director.

I nominated him earlier and used the list I put together last year, which included a bunch of "sci fi", "fantasy" and "thrillers". But I felt like Bava like Hitchcock kind of earned the benefit of the doubt on those borderline films since he was so groundbreaking in changing and expanding the horror field. And like one of those "sci fi" films is a mad scientist movie starring Vincent Price. So like... that's gotta count, right? The Girl Who Knew Too Much Planet of the Vampires Hatchet for the Honeymoon Baron Blood The Venus of Ille The House of Exorcism Caltiki, the Immortal Monster Hercules in the Haunted World The Whip and the Body Rabid Dogs Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs The Day the Sky Exploded STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Dec 2, 2022 |

Yea I'm cool with that, and thrillers definitely have counted for other directors. Anyway let's get him on the nomination list because he's got some great stuff still left. House of Exorcism is just a different cut of Lisa and the Devil by the way.

Taking a closer look House of Exorcism is a reedit of Lisa and the Devil done by Lamberto Bava so gonna cut that. I weirdly can't find The Venus of llle listed under either Bava's wiki filmographies. The Day The Sky Exploded was apparently not credited to Bava but he was a crew member some claim "ghost directed" it. Hercules sounds like its more sword and sandal and while it is set in hell with zombies I dunno. Rabid Dogs is an unfinished crime thing. So yeah. Maybe your count is right. Although I still contend Vincent Price as a mad scientist has to count for something. And Caltiki, the Immortal Monster weirdly doesn't seem to be credited to Bava on Letterboxd anymore but apparently Riccardo Freda said he stepped aside to let Bava get his first directing gig. I'd suggest teaming them but since they also apparently teamed up on Il Vampire but Freda has 8 listed horrors of his own. So I'm not sure what to do with Bava. Open to suggestions. Tentatively this revised list seems more legit to me. But not sure. The Girl Who Knew Too Much Planet of the Vampires Hatchet for the Honeymoon Baron Blood Caltiki, the Immortal Monster The Whip and the Body Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs I am mildly tempted to team him with Freda. But Bava deserves one last solo run and with Caltiki and Price/Dr Goldfoot I think he's got the numbers. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Dec 2, 2022 |

I'd like to nominate Larry Cohen, who, assuming I didn't miss something on Letterboxd, seems to have just enough movies left to qualify as a solo director. It’s Alive (1974) God Told Me To (1976) It Lives Again (1978) Full Moon High (1981) It's Alive III: Island of the Alive (1987) A Return to Salem's Lot (1987) He directed another movie called Wicked Stepmother (1989), but I'm not sure whether it's horror or not. It's a comedy but is apparently partly about a witch? So we could go with that one too if it should be in there.

Is there a rule about what to do with a miniseries? One of the directors I'm considering did one horror movie and then a 2-part miniseries that doesn't fit with the rest of the team, so I'm not sure whether to include him.

Mini series probably fall into the same category as shorts or anthologies. They won’t count by default but if you really want to include them go ahead knowing the competitive disadvantage they’ll have against a standard feature film. So if you’re asking if you have to count that mini series I’d say no, probably not. I guess that might be debatable. Like 3 hour 2 part tv mini might be shorter and more accessible than a movie. But it’s a grey area so do what you feel is right unless someone objects.

I often can't tell where that line is between thriller and something that's more of an action movie when it comes to stuff I haven't seen. Mostly what I've been doing is just going to Letterboxd, filtering a director's movies by what's categorized there as horror, and then going by the cover art or the few lines of description there, so there's a chance I'm gonna miss some more movies over the course of these picks. deety fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Dec 3, 2022 |
