Tournament of Horror Movie Settings/locations

[Sculpt]

Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to put that tourney together, roshiq! Made me think a lot more about the sets and it's interaction with the film.

Agree with you about the Hill House as you may know The Haunting always keeps fighting with PSYCHO (1960) in my mind for the Top spot in my all time favorite horror movie list.

In most cases, I tried to select the setting based on its importance in the movie, like whether it was the central premise of a movie or not. Or whether it played a significant role or some significant time of events/iconic moments did occurred at that place in a movie. I think that's why I might have missed couple of notable places including The Exorcist Spider-walk stairway & Georgetown steps. But still if anyone thought something other than I mentioned should have added from a movie, he or she still could have voted that related place (which I mentioned) with a note for the missed ones for that particular movie. Anyway, the thing is it'd better if discussed about the chosen entries in the board before starting the tourney but I was too excited & skipped that cause it might raised some close debates & took several days to finalize the final selection & begin the competition.

Humbug- there's no use in second guessing your decisions. You did a great job. You don't like the end result? Now you know 1/10th of the frustration I feel during every one of these damn tournaments.

lolz! Yeah..I knew anything can happen in a HDC tournament! From the very early stage I thought Overlook & Bates Motel would make through to the final & intended to make fixtures so that they could only get to face off with each other not before the final.
