Hello Whales! Today, in celebration of Halloween coming soon, (My favorite holiday!), I thought it would be fun to have a Halloween themed event. What I have come up with, is a bit of an opinion contest. I am going to put up a selection of my favourite movies to watch near halloween, and I would like you all to comment and tell me which of them you think is the best watch on the list, and why. This should give most people a chance to participate, should you enjoy the genre :)

How to Win?

There will be 2 ways to win coins during this contest. We will need both people sharing their opinions, and people voting on these comments so as to determine the winner. Opinion Shares: I want to see your top five favorite movies to watch around Halloween. Voters: Firstly, the person who's comment receives the most votes, will receive the main prize, however, so as to incentivize people to vote, the first ten votes on the winning comment, will also receive a smaller prize of 8 Midas coins.

Self votes will not be counted, and you may only vote on 2 other peoples comments in this contest. I do not want people just voting every single comment, only the ones that they agree with. For this reason I will allow two vote submissions.

#1 - Idle Hands

IMDB Description: When slacker teen Anton Tobias (Devon Sawa) has his right hand possessed by a demonic force, he finds that his life gets a lot more interesting. While Anton himself is an amiable guy, his hand proves to be an appendage of death, killing his two best buddies, Pnub (Elden Henson) and Mick (Seth Green), who return to life as wisecracking zombies. In addition to murdering those closest to him, Anton's evil hand significantly hinders his chances with lovely neighbor Molly (Jessica Alba).

#2 - The Cabin in The Woods

IMDB Description: When five college friends (Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams) arrive at a remote forest cabin for a little vacation, little do they expect the horrors that await them. One by one, the youths fall victim to backwoods zombies, but there is another factor at play. Two scientists (Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford) are manipulating the ghoulish goings-on, but even as the body count rises, there is yet more at work than meets the eye.

#3 - The Conjuring

IMDB Description: In 1970, paranormal investigators and demonologists Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) and Ed (Patrick Wilson) Warren are summoned to the home of Carolyn (Lili Taylor) and Roger (Ron Livingston) Perron. The Perrons and their five daughters have recently moved into a secluded farmhouse, where a supernatural presence has made itself known. Though the manifestations are relatively benign at first, events soon escalate in horrifying fashion, especially after the Warrens discover the house's macabre history.

#4 - Trick 'R Treat

IMDB Description: Interwoven stories demonstrate that some traditions are best not forgotten as the residents (Anna Paquin, Brian Cox, Dylan Baker) of a small town face real ghosts and goblins on Halloween. Tales of terror reveal the consequences of extinguishing a Jack-o-Lantern before midnight and a grumpy hermit's encounter with a sinister trick-or-treater.

#5 - Poltergeist 2015

IMDB Description: All seems well for Eric Bowen (Sam Rockwell), wife Amy (Rosemarie DeWitt) and their three children as they move into their new house in the suburbs of Illinois. Soon, youngest daughter Maddy (Kennedi Clements) begins talking to an imaginary friend, or so the family thinks. It's not long before sinister spirits wreak havoc in the home, holding Maddy captive and forcing the parents to consult a team of parapsychologists who engage the supernatural entities in a battle for the girl's freedom.

When Does the contest end? Conclusion

I am thinking that I will allow a voting period of Seven Days, though I may choose to extend that should I feel that there is not enough participation to reward everyone fairly. Let me know what you think. I always wanted to give a quick shoutout to the Witness Jepu, for supporting this contest, he is a solid dude and has supported many other contests like this, so if you enjoy these events, remember to show him some love :)

Happy Hunting,
Cerulean!
