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!!   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.
