Halloween White Elephant: Report Card
With just a few days remaining in Horrors Not Deads first ever Halloween White Elephant, Ive decided to reveal the twist to the game that none of our writers were aware of. I have been keeping a running score going based on a completely arbitrary system that I made up as I went along. It is based on the appropriateness of their selections, how well the person for whom they were selecting them enjoyed the film, andanything else I want. So lets take a look at where we are so far
So far weve covered all of the following films:
Carnosaur 3Damon as assigned by Brian Kelley
Les DiaboliquesNoah as assigned by Brian Salisbury
Terror TractBrian Kelley as assigned by Damon
The Serpent and the RainbowJacob as assigned by John Gholson
The BirdsJohn as assigned by Jacob
Cemetery ManJC as assigned by Peter
ContaminationDamon as assigned by Brian Kelley
Childs PlayBrian Salisbury as assigned by Noah
The Stepfather 3Brian Kelley as assigned by Damon
Galaxy of TerrorJohn as assigned by Jacob
ShutterJC as assigned by Peter
The ChurchNoah as assigned by Brian Salisbury
La SettaDamon as assigned by Brian Kelley
Peter as assigned by JC
Black RosesBrian Salisbury as assigned by Noah
The JanitorDamon as assigned by Brian Kelley
The Masque of the Red DeathJacob as assigned by John
Four Flies on Grey VelvetNoah as assigned by Brian Salisbury
Best Overall Appraisal of Another Writers Taste: Peters knowledge of JC lead to JC falling love with both his assignments.
Most Embarrassing Oversight Rectified: John Gholson with The Birds
Biggest Selection Fail: Brian Salisbury subjecting Noah to Four Flies on Grey Velvet that turned about to be apparently tortuous.
Most Represented Year: 1988 (Childs Play, Black Roses, The Serpent and the Rainbow)
Most Surprising Halloween White Elephant Moment Thus Far: Noah and Damon being assigned The Church (aka Demons 3) and La Setta (aka Demons 4) without any collusion from their patrons and then reviewing them on successive days.
So far, based on the responses to the films assigned, and all the other incidentals mentioned above, heres how things appear to be scored:
Peter Hall100 points
John Gholson$100
Jacob HallGold Star
Noah Lee500 votes
JC De LeonThe Wrench and The Revolver
Brian KelleyControl of Baltic Avenue
Damon SwindallHigh-five
Brian SalisburyDied of dysentery
