Under The Morgue http://w11.zetaboards.com/All_Things_Horror/index/ Horror/General Entertainment Discussion Forum Entertainment/Media Horror films message board started on April 3rd, 2013. There are already threads spanning over twenty different Horror series as well as sections devoted to creative writing, general entertainment, television, non-Horror films, and random discussion involving other things.
Hopefully that's a decent enough description and all. 😛<br /><br />-- 10 Apr 2013, 08:23 --<br /><br />Feel free to move this to Entertainment/Media when you have the time, and if anyone ends up joining it'd be very much appreciated. 🙂
Thanks. 🙂 Close to two dozen members and 2,000 posts already in only one week. Of course, a lot of those posts are threads that I've created but there's quite a few people contributing a good bit to the site as well. Any suggestions to further improve the site are welcome.
Just hit 55 members and 6,000 posts after only eighteen days! 🙂 New additions coming soon. Anything you guys would suggest that I add to the site?<br /><br />-- 22 Apr 2013, 05:27 --<br /><br />Over 1,000 posts in only one day! Woah! X_X
Just hit 102 members and 14,171 posts in the past couple of hours, after just 35 days of having the site up and running. Definitely surprised by how quickly it's building up. 🙂 We just started a few more interesting things on the site:
1: "Best Series Entries" - A poll series relating to over 20 different Horror franchises. Best film of each series, pretty much.
2: "Best Series CHARACTERS" - Choosing the best character of each film of over two dozen Horror franchises.
3: "Best First - Tenth Entry" - Compares the first entry of each series, second entry of each series, and so on to 'discover' which series has the best original film, the best second film, the best third film, ect.
4: "Best Horror Film Of All Time" - Four stage interactive series of HUNDREDS of threads and polls, each one relating to an individual year spanning 1910 to 2013. Simple. Choose the best film of each year. Eventually the selections will be narrowed down to a batch of polls, then again to just one poll featuring ONE film from each decade. With that poll, people will choose the one film they feel is most deserving of the title "The Best Horror Film Of All Time."
5: "WORST Horror Film Of All Time" - Works the same way as the "Best Horror Film" thread/poll series.
6: "UnderTheMorgue Member Awards" - Beginning around June 13th, I'll be making close to four dozen topics to vote in ranging from "Most Talented" to ""Member Who Gives The Best Advice" to "Best Original Screenplay" to "Best Taste In Music" and so on. Members will vote for eachother (but not for themselves unless they have good reason to do so) to decide on the winners of the various topics. The catch is that only the top 25 members (when it comes to postcounts and how much they've contributed to the site in general) will be included in the polls unless there are some that call for those who haven't contributed AS much to the site.
So yeah, things are going very well. Feel free to drop by the site anytime, offer up suggestions, join, post around, and so on. 🙂 We now have Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook pages for the site as well. I'll probably be including links to those as well as another 'progress update' in my next post. Good day everyone! 🙂
What a cool forum! I am not too much of a horror fan, but I will be recommending you to a friend of mine who is a HUGE fan. I do love Freddy Krueger tho.
Thanks 😀 You can join and just post around the Nightmare On Elm Street section or whatever if you want. Every little bit helps. Thanks for recommending us!
Currently, we are close to 20,000 posts and got our 121st member yesterday. 🙂
Just hit 146 members and over 24,000 posts. New members include author Kim Cormack, several Indie Horror writers/directors, and Josh Stohlberg (one of the writers of Sorority Row and Piranha 3D). 😀
255 members and close to 41,000 posts now! 🙂 Hit a bump/dead-spot for a short while but now we're kicking up the promotion and so far we've gotten 22 members in the past thirty six hours! We also added several new sections and a new (and much better) background and banner.
Thanks a bunch! 🙂
Going to be starting the next round of the Best/Worst Horror Films Of All Time Awards that span over one hundred years of Horror films in the next day or so!
Just hit 350 members and 51,300 posts! 🙂 Seems that Twitter has been working wonders when it comes to inviting people. We also have a (somewhat) new background and a few sections have been reorganized/rearranged.
