Total Film posts vote for Best Horror Blogs; I'm not bitter or anything


Total Film is currently hosting a poll for the best blogs of 2010, and they've put up their noms for best horror blog.

The list is surprisingly lackluster and unoriginal - Shock Till You Drop, Bloody-Disgusting, Upcoming Horror Movies, Dread Central, and Obscure Hollow are all eligible to vote for, and without trying to dispute the recognition that these sites deserve, I'd like to point out that there are a lot more smaller blogs that are doing just as much work and deserve the same credit.

It seems like I'm trying to toot my own horn here, like I'm just a horror blogger who's pulling a Kanye West. But I am appalled that no one from the LOTT D was even nominated for the award. Did the makers of the poll do any research on horror blogs, or did they just take the big names on the Web? Even the fabulous Arrow in the Head is left out!

Just thought I'd bring this to everyone's attention. Thanks to John Cozzoli at Zombos' Closet of Horror (who deserves a nom as well) for pointing this tragic poll out.

Is BD even a Horror Blog? I thought BD and UHM were both just Horror sites?

Me too. I think they're just loosely fitting them into the definition. When I think of a blog, I think of an independently-run website like ours instead of the big-leagues like B-D.
