Thankyou for your patience, and it's good to see the blog chugging along as usual. Using some precise and impressive technology (I have a mechanical pencil!), I will now sit down and tally the first ever Horrorthon Favorites.Fuck! There are several ties. Hmmm...
The clear winner of the Best Theme category is Johnny Sweatpants's coverage of Evil Clown Movies, getting four whole votes, which is more than any other thing that got voted on. There were also multiple mentions of JPX's Found Footage roundup.
Funniest Review goes to JSP for Blood Harvest (thanks Tiny Tim!)
Best Discovery goes to JPX for finding Rare Exports, which is a testament to his bloggery because I seem to recall he tried to tell us all about it months ago.
Best Screenshot(s) goes to my series for Fiend Without a Face. (Aw, thanks!)
While nobody voted twice for the same comment, 50PageMcGee received multiple mentions, so he gets the Right Funny Bastard award.
At this point All-Around Favorite Review, Best So Bad It's Good Review and Most Obscure Discovery all feature several entries but not one that's voted for more than once.
Also of note, I added Best Caption and Most Asses to my own batch of votes, just to be difficult.
This has been a blast, but another format occurred to me: For next year, what do you think of everyone doing a combination Best Of/Faves post after the deadline is past, first running down their own favorite movie experiences and then showcasing their favorite stuff by the other 'thonners? We'll tweak the categories to cut down on overlap, but I think it might work.
(I don't know about you, but this "review everything and vote" business is insane. I'm going to keep an ongoing list from now on. I couldn't even remember my Funniest Comment, and I had one, too.)
I'll update these results if more votes come in, but good job, folks! It was very gratifying to call for votes and suddenly see 10 comments. The fact that we have all these ties only speaks to the vast array of talent we've got here.
See you on the blog!

This is a great addition to the year end wrap up. I'm sure we'll eventually have it down to a science.
sorry i didn't participate in the voting, but i do agree with the consensus!
Thanks for posting this Octo! This was a great bookend to the Horrorthon hype you posted late September.
Finally some closure!
Excellent wrap-up, Octo! I agree with you, going forward I am going to take notes during October so tackling the wrap-up won't be as daunting. You had some great finds this year and I'm pleased that you continue to cover all things monster.
