The audience decides
How to vote for your film
Every completed Movie Poster + Synopsis in the Horror Film Archive is eligible for audience voting.
Review the Movie Poster and Synopsis, then complete the HFFD Voting Card.
The Voting Card contains five categories:
Open the card full size1Originality
Rate the originality of the concept, the imagination behind its ideas, and the boldness of the movie premise.
2Main Role
How compelling, dynamic, and engaging is the Main Role, and does the character leave a lasting impression?
3Killer
How terrifying, disturbing, and unforgettable is the Killer, from its presence to the brutality of its kills?
4Story
Rate the creativity of the story, the strength of the narrative, and how successfully all 16 tiers are developed into a cohesive plot.
5Poster
Rate the artistic quality of the poster, the impact of the film title, and how strongly it makes you want to see this movie.
Scoring
Enter a score of 1.0 to 10.0 ounces of blood directly on the Voting Card for each category. Decimal scores can be used.
When all five categories have been scored, submit the Voting Card.
The app automatically calculates the total of your five category scores. The film's official Horror Film Archive score is the average of the total scores from all submitted Voting Cards.
That average determines the film's position in the Horror Film Fantasy Draft rankings.
You need an account
One Voting Card per film, per account. A card cannot be edited once it is submitted, so an account is what makes that hold across devices. Directors can vote on every film except their own.
Where you vote
Voting happens on a film's own page in the Horror Film Archive, under its poster and synopsis. A film opens for voting the moment both are published.
