Dr. Nocturna's Horror Hall of Fame Poll #4! (exclusively for JoBlo users)

[dr_nocturna]

Ahhhh, yes, here we are again! Some of you already know the drill....12 horror film legends battle it out for induction in my Horror Hall of Fame over a 30 day voting period! The voteless nominees from the previous poll are taken out and replaced by other potential candidates. In the event of a tie after the 30 days of voting, (for example last month between Robert Englund and Stephen King!) there will be a one day tiebreaker poll between those who are indeed tied.

Previous winners!

#1: VINCENT PRICE (8 votes; 22.86% of total votes)
#2: JOHN CARPENTER (9 votes; 30% of total votes)
#3: ROBERT ENGLUND (6 votes; 17.65% of total votes) ***

***(WON 7-4 over STEPHEN KING in tiebreaker round.)

[Cabrini Green]

Like xCoryx says all the entrees should be in a Hall of Fame.

I'm going to go with Bela Lugosi.

[Boba Joe]

I voted for Stephen King and I hope he makes it this time.

[dr_nocturna]

Ahhhh, another close one at hand!!! Hope everyone had a good weekend, thanks for the votes so far, and...

Gotta go with Savini. Alot of the great movies he has done would have been seriously lacking if it wasn't for his genius.

[dr_nocturna]

Hey, what's the harm in a little shameless bump prior to the weekend? Thanks as always for the voting, and...

Pleasant Screams-Doc Noc

[KillerKlown]

George Romero

[Otis Driftwood]

Wes Craven

Pleasant Screams-Doc Noc

[Cronos]

Stephen King

[dr_nocturna]

Is Stephen King on his way to avenge the heartbreaking loss last time around, or will another deservant horror legend catch their 2nd wind and overtake the top spot? YOU be the judge!

[dr_nocturna]

Only one week left to vote for the 4th inductee in my Horror Hall of Fame! Thanks to all previous and upcoming participation, and...

Pleasant Screams-Doc Noc

[EvilDeadGirl]

Had to go with Romero

[Countess]

It's so hard to only pick one but I must. My vote goes to George Romero.

[dr_nocturna]

Last weekend to vote in the latest Horror Hall of Fame poll!

Pleasant Screams-Doc Noc

[Scully1888]

Had to go with Tom Savini. Stephen King's done well for the world of horror but his (apparent) whoring of almost everything he writes to made into films and TV movies means he's also been the cause of some complete shit (Dreamcatcher, anyone?).

At keast Savini's work has always been consistent, from special effects (Day Of The Dead) to acting (From Dusk Till Dawn) to directing (Night Of The Living Dead 1990).

[dr_nocturna]

Just a day to go before time runs out for voting in the 4th inductee! Any last minute votes?

[dr_nocturna]

One more BUMP for the road...literally, i'm going out of town tomarrow! Odds are I won't get to see the final results before departing, so in the event of a tie, a one day Tiebreaker Round will not take place until my return next week! Otherwise, thanks for the votes (as always), have a good upcoming weekend, and...

Pleasant Screams-Doc Noc

[dr_nocturna]

After a tiebreaker loss in #3, Stephen King takes care of business on the 2nd try and officially becomes the 4th inductee in my Horror Hall of Fame! Look out for the next batch of nominees later in the month! Thanks as always to the ones who participate, and...

I'm very pleased that Stephen King finally made it in. :cool:
