The FIFTH and FINAL choice of ROUND OF 5 has been made.
Finalist POSHER778 has chosen. And the chosen envelope is opened... ...which reveals a piece of paper saying... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... JUDGE ... ... ... ... ...ALKYTRIO666!! http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g1...i/alkytrio.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g1...udge_dredd.jpg Door #4 OPENS! ...And Judge Alkytrio walks in, and sits across from Finalist Posher778. Judge Alkytrio's query to Posher778 - "How do you feel that classic horror (1920s, 30s, 40s) influenced horror movies to come, and what kind of influence are they still giving today?" You have till 1 PM EST today to think over your answer, and post it in this thread accordingly, Posher778. Your answer will be then analyzed and awarded points on a scale of 0-10 by the Judge, who will then proceed to decide if you will incur any sort of punishment OR get any sort of reward for it. Good luck...think it over carefully, and then reply your answer IN THIS THREAD! FAILURE TO ANSWER WITHIN THE STIPULATED TIME WILL INCUR JUDGE ALKYTRIO'S WRATH AND YOU WILL BE RECEIVING A BRUTAL PUNISHMENT FROM HIM!! |
Dear Honorable Judge Alky,
Classic horror has influenced the modern genre in many ways, some good, and some not so good. In the bad sense, many classic horror films have spawned great multitudes of spin offs and copycats that hope to either win a quick buck or surpass the original by stealing the concept. However, without classic horror, which sets the foundation for horror today, there would be no evolution of the genre. Ignoring the modern films that don't have any taste or style, decent horror films from this day in age generally have something reminiscient of a classic film. For example, John Carpenter uses chilling soundtracks in all of his movies. The soundtrack for classic films has always been important (Especially in silent films IE: Nosferatu ('22)). Just one example of how the style of classic films has influenced modern day horror. Without the classics, horror wouldn't have evolved as far as it has today. Even though many modern films are not original, they still take the basis of something that is a classic. For example: The original Wolfman> An American Werewolf in London>Silver Bullet>Dog Soldiers. They were all decent (or more than decent) films, and no doubt took a lot of the substance in their films from a classic. That is how I believe classic horror has influenced horror today. ************************************************** ************ |
Nice answer, Posh.
Please do NOT edit it till Judge Alkytrio reads it, and then passes his verdict on PM. Good effort. |
Thanks V. And once again, sorry about the delay.
|
YEAHHHHHHH!

I dunno, I think the deadline was up almost an hour ago.
|
V... Failure to post the results by your time specified means you get shot 25 times by the snipers in the watchtowers. Then you have to sit in a room with a viagra overdosed Newb for 90 days. Congrats.
|
Man, V has never been this late before... I hope nothing is wrong.
|
Yeah I hope he is alright and nothing happened also.
|
Yea I m fine. Sorry folks, but I have been UBER-busy.
Anyway, the deadline was up almost 3 hours back. Let's see what our hunters did in The Zone... |
RESULTS OF HUNTING SEASON ROUND OF 5
The gates were opened and we all waited. Posher778 ran in almost immediately, breathless and panting. For a long time after that, nothing happened and nobody came in. Then, suddenly, a slight tinge of red crawled through the gates. The Medics helped a patched-up Zero on to his feet and he slowly made his way to his bunker. A groan made all of us turn towards the gates. Despare beckoned to the Medics who rushed forward and helped him to his feet, and he almost dragged his patchy self into his bunker and collapsed. The medics glanced at their watches and went into The Zone to scour for the other two contestants... and we turned the clock backwards to see what happened in it... |
- As soon as the five Finalists entered the gates, they broke off in different directions. Disease ran into some tree-foliage and broke through it towards the cave. It was hot and he needed to cool himself off, but he couldnt risk a dip in the river.
Zero looked on at him from the tree he had climbed. He took his M16 Machine Gun out and before Disease could stop to think, plugged him with 12 sharp shots of lead. Disease was blinded by the immense pain, but he could only endure the shots on his body. He fell down and crawled behind a tree, then took his HPs out. After a few minutes of patching his bullet wounds, he had 23 HPs left with him. Disease heaved a deep sigh of relief. Fighting back the pain, he peered into the branches of the tree where Zero sat with his empty machine gun. Disease took his .44 Magnum out and carefully aimed at Zero, and rapidly squeezed the trigger three times. The bullets of the world's most powerful handgun ripped through Zero's butt and he fell down from the tree, bleeding. But Zero was alert. He rapidly swung from the ground to behind the tree, using it as cover, and applied 3 HPs to himself. Before Disease could track him down, an injured Zero swung over the nearest branches of the nearby tree and vanished from sight, with his remaining 21 HPs. Disease picked himself up with a huge effort and walked on. He knew that if he was sitting at one place he couldn't defend himself, so he had to keep moving. Breaking through the bushes, he heard soft rustling just ahead of him. He sat down quietly, all senses alert. Despare walked forward, just ahead of him, and looked around. Disease took his Magnum out, and aimed at Despare's head. Just then, a twig snapped under Disease's foot, just as he fired, and Despare swung around. He caught the shot on his shoulder, and Disease fired twice in succession again, aiming blindly. Both of those hit Despare on the thigh, and he fell down with a groan. Gritting his teeth, Despare took his Rocket Launcher out and rapidly fired twice in Disease's direction. Both rockets blasted on either side of Disease and he was thrown backwards from the full impacts, numerous bloody wounds and cuts blossoming throughout his blackened body. He thudded onto a tree and was almost senseless from the excruciating pain. With a display of amazing effort, Disease took out his HPs and applied them to himself all over. 10 used HPs later, Disease collapsed down with fatigue and pain, and passed out. Despare took 3 HPs out and healed himself in the meantime. Then all went silent. Not a sound could be heard anywhere. Rapidly, darkness enveloped the entire Zone and it was getting close to the deadline. Psycom5K sat in the darkness, in the hole. He had found a concealed hole in the ground just after running into The Zone, and he knew that it was the best place to hide his defenceless self. He was praying for the time to be over quickly, so that he could survive the endurance test in which he had no arsenal for himself. The sounds of battle made Psycom5K chuckle. The poor bastards, he thought delightfully, let them blast each other to bits...I will win this in the end. The thought of winning made his smile broaden into a wide grin, and he rested. He woke up just minutes before the deadline. Checking his watch, he uttered a yelp of happiness. For it was 5 minutes to the deadline, and he was safe and snug. But just then, suddenly, a grenade came flying into the hole and poor Psycom5K had nowhere to go. The grenade blasted right in front of his face, and almost tore his jaw out of his skull. He felt blinded by the huge wave of pain as he took his HPs out to heal himself, cursing the person who did this to him. 7 used HPs later, he checked his watch and crawled out of the hole, a bloody and patched up mess. Posher778 looked at him with a grin and waved, before throwing his empty Grenade Launcher away. Psycom5K took one look at him, and fainted. |
Update
The Medics have returned with the senseless Disease and the fainted Psycom5K, and dumped their bodies into their bunkers. We had no dead bodies in this round...but there was a lot of damage inflicted on two Finalists. Status Update : Despare - FIT with 27 HPs, Posher778 - FIT with 26 HPs, Zero - FIT with 21 HPs, Disease - FIT with 13 HPs, Pyscom5K - FIT with 13 HPs. Have a good, long rest, contestants! Tomorrow, you face The Battle Royale Judges again!! |
Damn, I thought I was going to bed for a bit then... Nice story ___V___.
