WeaponX posted:My other fav James Wan is under 6 films so I’d like to introduce Teamsidious- the collected films of directors in the Insidious Franchise. I'm pro theme and its part of why there's a "soft cap" so I vote you can just include Wilson's in the name of synergy and him not finding a better home than this.

Generally when the question is "should we throw Patrick Wilson in there?" it's gonna be a unanimous Yes.

Meanwhile I remain a completely unprepared mess and have no idea what to nominate or how to build my teams so... uh... adding Tim Story’s The Blackening and Bomani J. Story’s The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster to Horror Noire.

Friendly reminder. Don’t make nominations in edits. Not as some kind of rule or anything but because I keep track of this by going post by post and adding to the spreadsheet. So if you edit a post after I’ve been there I have no idea and lose all track. Also always good to double check to make sure your noms have been registered. Just give me a chance but feel free to double check my work if I miss something. Speaking of… WeaponX posted:My sweet boy Robert Zombie is at 5 and he still has his 4 best movies! (and Superbeasto….) He has a lot of frequent collaborators but none of them directors however there is one director who has put a Rob Zombie cameo in every single one of his films, James Gunn. So I’d like to team them up as Zombie Gunn. I think Slither feels at home with Zombies filmography anyway. Unfurtunately a double check says Slither has been played. So Zombie needs to find someone else.

Ok I will steal your idea and go with The Zombie Brothers Rob Zombie House of 1000 Corpses Halloween The Devils Rejects Lords of Salem The Haunted World of El Superbeasto Spider One Allegoria Bury the Bride Not nearly as strong as Slither but thems the brakes. Maybe Mr. One has some of that magic that his older brother has.

I'm not sure how accessible Tormented is and The Island of Dr. Moreau's horror status is debatable, plus Frankenheimer took over for Richard Stanley partway through production.

Bracketology Redux was a bit of a joke idea for me last year but it turned out to make one the best runs of any of my teams ever. Go figure. So time to restock it with more remakes of films we've already seen in Bracketology and see whether they do better or worse. Bracketology Redux (Kenneth Branagh, Spike Lee, ) Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Oldboy Adding Egidio Coccimiglio’s Compulsion Alex Kurtzman’s The Mummy Matt Sobel’s Good Night Mommy Steve Beck’s Thirteen Ghosts and Ghost Ship Even if twernt's remake team is basically like all Redux films too making me feel redundant. What can you do?

I updated the 2023 nominees list to remove those who have been renominated. Mostly. Should make it easier to see who's still available. We've seen a bunch of him as an actor, seen a bunch of films he's produced, but still haven't managed to get him in as a director. Maybe this is the year...

Samfucious, I'm pretty sure Matt Reeves has already had both films in the tourney. But you can take Babak Anvari, who I'm releasing from my team. Of course he's not a +1 and his Cloverfield film is not released yet, so maybe not. I do really love Under the Shadow for this team, but I like that I have a tighter team this way. I'm adding an American as well, who brings in a 21st-Century war.

Also a quick update. I adjusted the schedule a bit. We'll keep this one team a day thing going until Friday the 15th and noon EST. Then through the weekend everyone can nominate as much as they want. Nominations will lock at 12 noon EST Monday the 18th. Then I'll get a vote together and we'll do that until after Christmas. Sound good? Sound clear?

Another reminder, if you've made a nomination it means you get a BYE you can give to any nominee past the voting and into the Field of 64. You have to get those in before nominations lock so don't forget. I'm gonna take one for the first time and give it to Wes Craven. He probably doesn't need it but this year was Carpenter's year so maybe next will be Wes'. I'll give him a head start for it.
