The first clear-cut winners that made the cut...

NEW

• They're Coming to Get You, Barbara! The 50th Anniversary of Night of the Living Dead
  
• Atmospheric Horror Films
  
• Universal Monster Movies
  
• Rocktober Blood - 100 Greatest Horror Film Soundtracks

RETURNING

• Frankenstein / Mad Doctors
  
• Video Nasties

Posted in order of votes; atmospheric and Universal were tied at second. And just to reiterate--Universal Monsters was originally used in the first themes list, but is being treated as new since there was no link attached at the time.

Using last year as a comparison again, we are:

• Five days ahead of the first round of theme announcements
• Four extra themes ahead

Keep voting. As usual, there's gonna be some very close calls.

I'll nominate Prism Entertainment for the 1980's Video Companies Spotlight:
