Villain Vote: Who's the Scariest of Them All?

The inaugural Fright Night Awards will allow the public to vote for the most frightening movie villain, the scariest movie, and the spookiest supernatural television show.

Is Hannibal Lecter the most frightening movie villain of all time? Or maybe Jason Vorhees? How about Michael Myers or Leatherface?

Those burning questions will be answered thanks to an awards competition announced Tuesday aimed at determining the greatest big- and small-screen frights, favorite scary movie and television performers and even best horror- movie scream of all time.

Online voting began Tuesday for the inaugural Fright Night Awards, an initiative of Cancer Bites, a blood cancer awareness and education campaign. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Lymphoma Research Foundation and Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation are among the groups taking part in the campaign, which is aimed at increasing awareness of the prevalence of blood cancers.

Fans can cast votes in 21 Fright Night Award categories, ranging from favorite scary movie of the year, favorite vampire movie of the year and favorite supernatural television show. Voting is available at www.frightnightawards.com.

As for the most frightening horror movie villain of all time, Jack Nicholson's character Jack Torrance from "The Shining" is also nominated along with Hannibal Lecter ("Silence of the Lambs," "Hannibal"), Vorhees ("Friday the 13th"), Myers ("Halloween") and Leatherface ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre").

Another popular category is likely to be favorite scream of all time in a horror movie. Up for the honor are Jamie Lee Curtis from "Halloween," Janet Leigh from "Psycho," Drew Barrymore for "Scream," Shelley Duvall for "The Shining" and Heather Donahue from "The Blair Witch Project."

Winners will be announced Oct. 30.

SGT, AND SAM, What is the common thread to all the scandals coming to light? We are beginning toRead More unravel the vast conspiracy of Obama's "election". The tea party scared the hell out of some people. They were completely maligned, and undermined by the left, with the help of main stream media. These groups and others like them, were held backed and systemically hindered. As this story is unfolding many in the media angle the story as one of how the Republicans are reacting.......and not reporting on all the illegal activity. I have never in my entire life felt such a contempt for an administration. The Tea Party, who's platform is simply "Taxed Enough Already," is rising again because of all of this. And like I have said: I AM MAD AS HELL. AND I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! What did you expect from one who started off his political career with a kick-off party from an unrepentant terrorist!! I will not sit and take this anymore. We must fight back this collective, socialist, partisan who is the most NON-transparent evil I have seen in the Oval Office. But don't get me started.......

Remember he's a part of the Obama Administration where no one knows anything, about everything.Read More He'll most likely get a promotion as Obama rewards his non truth telling, mistake making staff.
Sam La Sala May 24, 2013 at 10:03 am
When is Holder going to bring indictments against the Wall Street CRIMINALS who caused theRead More financial crisis of 2008? His opinion is that they are too big to prosecute. SOURCE: PBS documentary: THE UNTOUCHABLES
SgtJackWagon May 24, 2013 at 04:53 am
What a great question to pose, but unfortunately I can't come up with an answer, as to why theyRead More would lighten the font.
SgtJackWagon May 24, 2013 at 05:08 am
Buzlightyear, doesn't "I don't know" bring back the Democrats response to any situationRead More that they feel, might be a tad uncomfortable? Holder, what a specimen he is, and to hold the title of "Americas Top Cop." Holder needs to change his attitude, or he could be the reason for Obama's impeachment.

OH! the blog won't let links, link-up. Well in 3 minutes you can google, and find all of this.

Joan, let me presume you generally understand how the government works, what it can, and can't do,Read More and what freedom of the press really means. If so, theoretically, would you agree that if my post, is correct, would be very disturbing? Would you also agree that because of political leanings, most of the main stream media ignores, and/or twists the events I described to alter public opinion, and minimize it's impact? All of the statements in my original post are factual, out there in the public, in print, on T.V., and the internet. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/05/irs-official-in-charge-during-tea-party-targeting-now-runs-health-care-office/ http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-30/fed-maintains-85-billion-pace-of-purchases-as-growth-pauses.html It is also called qe3 to infinity, If you want a deeper understanding of what lies ahead, then read this guy everyday. He has predicted, and laid out every move for years. http://www.jsmineset.com/2012/09/21/qe3-to-infinitythe-final-end-game/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/ralphbenko/2013/03/11/1-6-billion-rounds-of-ammo-for-homeland-security-its-time-for-a-national-conversation/ I believe the above group of links above is spells it out. Thanks for the challenge. ....

Why was my comment deleted. I saw it go up and then it came down. Are comments being censored hereRead More now? What I said was where I agree people who worked and volunteered last Saturday should not be attacked but thanked for their efforts, the city council and members of city government know the history of this parade and that their conduct was shameful in allowing it to slip to the wayside and not attacking the issuing early enough to assure it would continue. It would be nice to hear Tom Adams or home town grown Larry Spicer speak to this issue.

Yep, B Ulm.... I was there all day. People were working really hard from early a.m. to clean upRead More time. I noticed plenty of smiles and laughter, some quick no-nonsense problem solving, and some really rather creative ways to tackle the project at hand. It was smaller scale, there was no carnival (Did the Tilt a Whirl with dried puke REALLY mean that much to you folks?!) Look, the pancakes tasty, kids cute, dunk booth busy. These people did their best, and this is coming from me, an admitted Mr.grumpy pants. Danielle, since you seem keen on helping out per your post, and would volunteer if you knew where to go to do so, please sign up to be the dunkee next year. We'd love to have ya...I might be old but I have one helluva fast ball.
B Ulm May 21, 2013 at 09:06 pm
Wow - what an insulting, non-constructive post. You live in a city whose citizens banded together toRead More tax themselves to save it Foothill wilderness, raised funds to renovate its schools and to build a state of the art library. The fact that one one single event in the year didn't go the way you wanted made you ashamed to be a Monrovian suggests you need to seriously rethink your priorities in life. As the first response said, quit complaining and get involved. Its not very hard in this city to find out how to volunteer if you had given it a slight effort. And the volunteer groups like the one that put the event together are starving for help since tearing people down is a lot more popular these days than putting in hard work. You are the one who should be ashamed.

Who was that face painter? She was really good with the kids, even the wiggly ones. She also wasRead More giving away little handmaid mermaids. Some of the stuff at the celebration was cool. I think next year the city council should be the dunkees for the dunk booth.

Ellen Zunino May 17, 2013 at 01:02 pm
Cool presentation. Many of us have had our own encounters and all of us have seen numerous photosRead More and videos so your creative approach freshened it up for us.
Dan Crandell May 16, 2013 at 09:28 pm
A California city will never prevail in a lawsuit against the STATE. All CA. cities must merge toRead More sue in mass under Federal RICO laws while we still have Federal laws. Filing alone at the State level is useless. Wake up people.
