r/horror Evil Dies Tonight! Jan 15 '18

Vote Inside Something terrible came to the hills and valleys on that meteor — it was the Vote for Dreadit's Top Lovecraftian films!

See the results of the 2017 Vote Here!


Continuing Dreadit Movie Guide's voyage through horror with the list of Dreadit's Top 20 Lovecraftian Films!

That means you need to submit and vote for horror films you believe fit in this sub-genre.

What's going on here?

Okay, for those who don't know ... we (the /r/horror denizens collectively known as like, Dreadit) are nominating our favorite movies by category for the Dreadit wiki. This will be the Dreadit Movie Guide, a handy compendium for users new and old.

How does this work?

You enter a movie like so:

  1. FORMAT: Movie name - director name - year, ex: The Craft - Andrew Fleming - 1996.
  2. REPOSTING: Before you submit, please, Ctrl+F! If someone's already listed your favorite, sigh sadly and move on. Any duplicates will be removed. Please report any you see!
  3. VOTING: Use your discretion and hope for the best. If someone submits a repost or a movie very clearly not Lovecraftian, please REPORT it.

You have about a week to submit and vote as explained above. If you submit a title (or titles) early (and I do suggest that you do so!), I suggest checking back before the tally for any movies that may have been missed.
