Don’t know I missed all those Kostanski movies but that poster for Spontaneous does not read as horror on first glance lol. Let me fix it. I’ll abandon the 100% alien gimmick but it’s still mostly on theme.

Also very important, if you have a BYE get it in by then. Can't start the nomination vote until those are locked in. Well we can but it gets messier. If you made a nomination and I don't have you on this list that's my mistake, just go ahead and make your pick anyway.

I'm gonna tweak a few teams.

I'm adding John Power's The Tommy Knockers to All Hail Stephen King.

I'm giving Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities a slight overhaul. Really just adding films from people already on the team.
I'm gonna add GdT's Pinochio even if I have no idea if its at all horrory. And Nightmare Alley since we allow thrillers. They're both in the grey area we allow but it feels right to include them to get GdT's full list in. I'm also adding Scott Cooper’s The Pale Blue Eye and Guillermo Navarro's The Lot. That takes me to 12 but I'm gonna assume no one is wanting for any of these scragglers unless anyone objects?

And no one nominated them so I can't help myself. This is just unfair but its actually got a theme.

Ok I think that’s all byes in so consider nominations locked. I’ll get a vote together as soon as I can on another busy day.

STAC Goat
Mar 12, 2008

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Let's Vote!

I think everything's set up right. I basically copied the poll from last year and made the necessary changes, cleared the fields, and put in our new fields. I did a quick troubleshoot vote myself and picked up a few mistakes but its looking ok now? Let me know if you see a problem so I can fix it quickly.

The plan as usual is to fill most of the field but do some playins for the last spots. We'll see how the math plays out.

113 nominees in total. Down from last year's 141 but still with plenty of options and nearly twice the field we'll ultimately have in 64. But it does mean more of your nominations will make the tournament this year so that's good.

Once again I broke the voting pool into 4 categories. Veterans, Rookies, Solo, and Team. Each nominee should be in two of those categories and you'll be able to vote for up to 20 in each one. That should hopefully make it easier to sort through the fields and give nominees a chance to break out from the pool and we get a spread of nominees. It also lets you strategically vote if you wish.

There's
41 Veterans
65 Rookies
46 Solo Directors
60 Teams

That probably gives Solo Directors and Veterans a slight edge over rookies and teams in the nomination process? Alternatively it might make it harder if you nominated more vets/solos than rookies/teams? Like most of my teams are veteran teams so I'm probably not gonna get as many through as if some of them were over in solo, right? But its pretty close and you can still only vote for less than half of the field. So hopefully you'll still have to get mad because you ran out of votes.

Voting will stay open until Dec 26th, noon EST. Day after Christmas. That should give us about a week and you'll have a little hangover time post Christmas if you forget. It also should hopefully give me enough time to get the tournament together my New Years. I've mentioned it vaguely but things are pretty crazy for me right now and a loved one has been having health problems and is scheduled for surgery the last week of the year. So knock on wood everything will work out ok and I'll have everything together. But if I disappear or things get delayed you know why. We'll just have to play it as it comes.

Ok, I think that's it. Vote. And feel free to spread the link around to whoever you want. Loved ones, friends, other places on SA or online. The more votes the merrier. And Happy Holidays to everyone.

Vote for our Bracketology '24 Field of 64 until 12 noon EST Dec 26th!
