I was looking at the comments you lot left and it seems like you all had a tough time deciding, but in the end, one walked it's way into victory. You must have guessed it, it is HALLOWEEN!

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON

Here’s what Wiki has to say:

‘The various prosthetics and fake, robotic body parts used during the film's painful, extended werewolf transformation scenes and on Griffin Dunne when his character returns as a bloody, mangled ghost impressed the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences so much that they decided to create a new awards category at the Oscars specifically for the film – Outstanding Achievements in Makeup.’

The transformation scene was excellently done, the pain endured by the character comes across well and, in the opinion of the judges, has yet to be bettered.

It is still a favourite movie for many even today, and a ‘must have’ in any horror fan’s collection.

A well deserved award.

JAWS

Evil Dead and Jaws

Who can forget Ash or the deadites, would a remake encompass them all, from the grapevine Evil dead, may well be re-made.

However, can anyone make Jaws as good as it still is. It is remember one of the biggest money spinners for the producers and allowed Stephen Speilberg go on to other things.

The Wolf Man
20 Million miles to Earth
Kronos
The Beast from 20,000 fathoms

Resident Evil

THE WOLF MAN

However, one finally was chosen as both the director and actors who are to be in this film, perhaps because of the work they have already done, will be remade, which is The Wolf Man.

The HDC Horror Razzie for being the absolute WORST in a Horror Movie goes to...


LAURIE STRODE (Halloween Remake)

In the 2007 remake of the film this character lacked any real substance and had no personality.

The nominees for The Best Character Ever in a Horror Movie are...


Ash
Dracula - Bela Lugosi (1931)
Ellen Ripley - Alien series
Jason Voorhees
Michael Myers
Waiter (Bruce Campbell in Spiderman 3)


And the Honorary HDC Horror Oscar goes to...


ASH (Evil Dead Series)

“…strong screen-presence, some really great sequences, and some of the best one-liners and one-word dialogues ever seen in a horror movie… Groovy…”

“…He's a much more complex character than the others. Ash is witty, unwilling, and sarcastic until the end but he always ends up trying to save the day... or at least the girl... along with his own ass…”

A bad screenplay does not make a good movie, Mr Boll. and when you’ve spent a lot of your experience on trying to not only destroy horror, but the games that are based on them. Shame on you.
