There need to be more boards, but I'd like everyone's opinion on what other boards would be useful.

Maybe a classic/golden age/pre-70's sub-board. Threads about "old" horror always got buried on imdb, it'll set us apart.

Porn, and maybe tv shows and books.

Not sure about it, but it crossed my mind so I'll mention it...
I noticed on the IMDb board some posters are fond, every now and then, to post quite long and lengthy reviews of a movie they've seen as a means of getting discussion going (rather than just a down 'n dirty "IMO...")... would it be worth having a section for reviews like that, rather than have them in the other categories?

I second porn! Anyway, maybe a section made especially for asking recs? There seems to be a lot of those threads at the IMDb...

I think that once the Reviews and Best and Worst boards get going, people should be able to get enough recs. But in the future if enough people are still here and constantly asking for recs, I'll add a board. Posted by hugthedead on Today at 7:07am
Sections for Board Help? An Italian Board?(Been dreaming) The help thing might be a good idea. But an Italian board? What are you smoking, man?!

Over at another forum, we had a thread to showcase video files from Google. We would embed movies like RotLD, or Nosferatu.

Also, how about a Game thread, or a Horror TV thread?
Supernatural, Fear Itself, Masters of Horror, etc...
Or a horror video game board, you know post angry nerd videos.

There should be a board dedicated to horror tv shows ( Tales from the crypt, Masters of horror, etc.) , as well as different genres: Slashers, werewolves, vampires, ghost, etc.

I guess we could just discuss books and TV shows individually in the "Other" section, but I think a book and TV special category might be a good idea too.
Also, Hug_the_Dead just asked for help finding a place where he might d/l a movie, which got me to thinking: what about a section with a sticky thread of "useful links"? Links to movie resources, guides, online reviews...I dunno, anything people find on the net that we might all benefit from, and having them separate they won't get buried among normal posts.

I wasn't really thinking about filesharing (dirty, filthy thing that it is! *coughs*), but more along the lines of links to magazine reviews, info on upcoming movies, interviews, DVD websites, things along those lines fans just might find of interest. Also there are resources like the Internet Archive ( www.archive.org) where you can legally download some older movies like Nosferatu because they are now in the public domain and without "owner", so to speak.

I just looked in the ProBoards T&C, and here's what I found: User's web site may not contain content promoting the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, nudity, or any other form of adult content, profanity, hate, "spam," fraud, racism, mlm, pyramid schemes, or promote any illegal activity. They didn't really define "promoting" and what constitutes promoting things, so I'm still unsure. It also lists profanity, but that's bullcock. There's no way words are going to start getting censored around here, too.

Under Other Horror;
There should be a Horror Attractions board for discussion of everything from theme park dark rides to haunted hayrides to Halloween events like Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando in Florida or Knotts Scary Farm at Knotts Berry Farm in California.
A board/boards for discussion of horror in real life (serial killers, mysterious phenomena such as ghost/bigfoot sighting, etc. ) as well as horror in various subjects/studdies like history horror (Vlad the Impaler, the witch burnings, Bathory, Lizzy Borden) and horror in mythology, from ancient vampire folklore to urban legends. It could be one board or it could be split into two or more boards. I just think "Horror" is a very broad subject and all its many branches reaching both into reality, fiction, and that twilight zone in between, should be available for discussion and enjoyment
Personally, if I were running the show I'd make a whole BUNCH of such sub-boards like
History Horror Mythology & Folklore horror (including urban legends and the mythology of different religions, including christianity) Nature horror Real Life Horror (serial killers) etc. World Horror (other cutlures such as Haiti, etc.)
But that's just me.

I do like the second one, though.

And how about Horror events that are six months away?

Yes, that sort of discussion would be appropriate for that board. To address your other suggestion, I've created a "Real Life" board, changed the "Books" board to "Literature," so it's a bit more general and you may discuss mythology in there, and added an urban legends sub-board. Phew.

How about a board dedicated to the filmmaking process where we could discuss the nuts and bolts of filmmaking.
