Added them both. And apparently there's an IMFDB, which is the Internet Movie Firearms Database. It found 692 horror films with guns:Originally Posted by clckworang
I don't know how much support they have, but I suggested a gun theme, and there was also a 1950s suggestion.

Well, both the Horror Films with Synth Scores and 100 Iconic and Recognized Soundtracks suggestions already have Goblin covered pretty extensively. Maybe it could be a checklist entry?Originally Posted by WillieReturns
I see that Goblin is doing another tour this year. How about the band's music as a theme?
Coincidentally today marks the 40th anniversary of Suspiria being released in US theaters.

It probably will come down to that, so everyone please be prepared to vote more than once if need be. Again, the only "rule" is once per theme.Originally Posted by clckworang

I think that it's only fair that, if we've got the IMDB's highest-rated horror films as a theme possibility, we should also have the IMDB's worst-rated horror films as a theme possibility:

Out of the Top 50, I've only seen House of the Dead. With how many crappy movies are on Netflix and coming out in theaters, I expected a lot more "well known" titles.Originally Posted by rbrown498

New theme picks:
One-word titles
IMDB highest-rated horror
IMDB lowest-rated horror
The 1950s
Death by drowning
Skulls
Rondo Award winners
Mummies
Evil twins and doppelgangers
Shot in Bronson Canyon
All of the returning themes are fine by me--but I've got a question: Would it be possible to start swapping out European horror with Asian horror every other year? We've done Euro for the past two years.
I'd also like to nominate Media Home Entertainment for '80s video companies day this year.

I vote for the return of European Horror, mainly because I have easier access to them, than Asian Horror.

I would also like to throw a vote in for IMDB Worst Rated Horror. I can easily get my hands on a few of those.
