All right, what's going on here? I head out of town for two weeks, and not only does the usually reliable Nick Nadel add a pair of comedies to the list (Ghostbusters 3 and Ghost Town); he took Twilight off the rankings!

Is everybody OK? How did you deal with the searing trauma of not having your least favorite Day-pire rom-com-thriller inexplicably on a Horror Rankings week after week? I mean, I guess we can keep it off for a little bit now -- there are plenty of new things to take its place -- but... watch out, Nick, those Twilight fans can be murderous.

Horror Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Movie (or Comic, etc.)
1	-		Fear(s) of the Dark You may never heard of this movie, but one viewing of the trailer will make you realize why it has rocketed to number one. Stunning animation, real horror, and producer Guillermo del Toro make this a must see.
2	-		Mirrors In France, I was completely bowled over by their excellent version of the Mirrors poster. You know, one that features a mirror in it, rather than just text and a barely recognizable face? I'm hoping overseas audiences discover Aja's flick.
3	-		Saw V If it's a month away from Halloween, it must be time for Saw fever to start hitting. Though nowhere near as exciting as number one (or two for that matter), Saw still manages to be a viable franchise, five movies in.
4	5		Feast 2 I don't think Nick emphasized how great it is last week that John Gulager is actually getting to make a second movie. After Project Greenlight failed, most of their pix have, too, with the exception of the Feast team. I hope they all have long careers.
5	-		Pathology Though this movie isn't what you would conventionally call "good," it does have Milo Ventimiglia trying to break out of his Heroes persona. Now that it's coming out on DVD, maybe give it a second chance?
6	8		Ghost Town I complained earlier about Nick inserting comedies into our Horror Rankings. But having talked to a friend who worked on the Ghost Town, and as I have another friend prominently featured in the marketing, I'm actually bumping it up two slots.
7	-		Trick R' Treat Not only is this movie shown one night in NYC. Not only is it being shown at Fantastic Fest. But also... Well, actually, that's it so far. Wouldn't it be nice to release a movie about Halloween around, you know, Halloween?
8	-		Quarantine This remake of Spanish horror flick [REC] is hitting in a few short weeks with less fanfare than Trick R' Treat, if that's at all possible. The good news is, rap superstar T.I. is in it, so we're sure to get a great end credits song.
9	3		Ghostbusters 3 Repeat after me: Never going to happen. You're getting a video game, which is as close as you'll get to a Ghostbusters 3. And even if it did happen? You're not going to like it. What's the last good thing Dan Akroyd did?
10	-		Twilight Ha, ha! Tricked you! I said I wasn't going to put Twilight on, and then I did. But let's be honest: Twilight is everywhere, from ads, to profiles, to yes, the Horror Rankings. It's Twilight's world -- we just live in it.

OK, so maybe we are in the September doldrums with scant few horror releases before the October bonanza. But there is some major remake news this week (Poltergeist has a director) and, at long last, official word on Ghostbusters 3. Plus, we've got news about Universal's classic monsters, as well as the rubbery, reptilian star of Vipers. Power Rankings, ho!

Horror Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Movie (or Comic, etc.)
1	-		Ghostbusters 3 A script by writers from The Office? The original cast possibly reuniting? The suspense alone is enough to rocket Ghostbusters 3 to the top spot. And even a mediocre sequel is better than Ghost Town.
2	2		The Wolf-Man The Wolf-Man takes second place again thanks to the leaked trailer and news that Guillermo del Toro will be tackling fellow Universal monsters Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll. Almost makes us forget The Mummy: Tomb of the Tired Franchise.
3	-		Drood Del Toro again, who will be directing every horror film until 2017. This one features a murderous Charles Dickens and the story behind The Mystery of Edwin Drood. As the new horror/fantasy king, del Toro earns his place on the chart.
4	-		My Name Is Bruce Bruce Campbell (as himself) fighting demons in a small town sounds so good, we can't believe it's true. But it finally has a release date and a tie-in comic. Even better, the sequel's called My Name Is Still Bruce.
5	-		Child's Play Has it really been 20 years since Child's Play? Shouldn't Chucky be a college sophomore by now? At any rate, he's getting a redesign. It's yet another remake, but creator Don Mancini gets points for keeping Brad Dourif in the mix.
6	-		True Blood Can HBO's sexy vampire show ride the Twilight wave? Much as I love Six Under Feet, the premiere didn't wow me. But attractive, angsty vampires are certainly hot right now. We'll give this one the benefit of the doubt.
7	-		The Monster of Florence Tom Cruise as a serial killer? The exotic setting and subject matter suggests The Talented Mr. Ripley meets American Psycho. Can horror save Tom's career? Tropic Thunder notwithstanding, it could be an uphill battle.
8	-		Poltergeist The remake is being helmed by the guy who did The House of Sand and Fog. Interesting choice, but we were hoping for Tobe Hooper, who's been pretty quiet of late. Remake fatigue and the lack of Hooper drops this one a few notches.
9	6		Mirrors Sorry, Kiefer fans. We all had high hopes for his return to horror, but the film basically tanked. Hopefully Alexandre Aja will bounce back with Piranha 3-D. There hasn't been a good piranha movie since, well, Piranha.
10	-		Vipers Remember Snakes on a Plane? For that matter, remember Tara Reid? The just released pics for this direct-to-DVD serpent-fest scream "on the shelf since 2006," sending Vipers directly to the bottom of the chart.

Stop griping about how there's nothing new to see between summer's popcorn horror and pre-Halloween's horror bounty. We've got great news about long-in-limbo Trick 'R' Treat, the world's stuffiest Wolfman, and, as always, Twilight. Without further ado, this week's Power Rankings:

Horror Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Movie (or Comic, etc.)
1	-		Trick 'r' Treat For the past three years. It's been stuck on the shelf, but this highly anticipated fright flick is finally going to get a screening, albeit only in NYC. Can a nationwide release be far off?
2	-		The Wolfman We didn't rank this pic before because a Gothic costume drama about the Wolfman just sounded too highbrow. Then we found out that Danny Elfman is providing the score. Suddenly, artsy sounds cool.
3	6		Friday the 13th A steady stream of pictures, features, and positive buzz make this seem like it might be an actual film, not just a stunt. I'm still hesitant, but bloody fingers are crossed.
4	9		Twilight Oh yeah... Twilight fever has infected Monsterfest, and I can't help but feel like, in some way, I helped spread the virus. Read Scott Sigler's whole column about girly vampire films and stop fighting the twilit tide.
5	-		The Strangers 2 The sequel better known as Strangerier is going forward, with writer-director Bryan Bertino and Liv Tyler. But what are they going to do? Hold Tyler hostage in a smaller house?
6	3		Mirrors You know, it's weird, but I'm beginning to feel like, maybe Mirrors mania isn't sweeping the nation. I already reserved a space for Mirrors-Con '09, so I'm hoping it catches on, but I don't know...
7	-		Dracula: Year Zero Part of me is bored with an origin story for Dracula. Part of me is excited by Alex Proyas writing and directing it. But without Danny Elfman doing the score, I'm more bored than excited.
8	4		Midnight Meat Train It's hard to get hyper-enthused about more than one underserved horror movie at a time and for the moment, Trick 'r' Treat has snagged our attention. If you haven't seen MMT in a theater, shame on you.
9	-		Saw V Saw V has a new poster. Congratulations, Saw V.
10	-		The Happening How did M. Night Shyamalan's latest flop resurface? Well, the movie's star Mark Wahlberg is crediting the director with giving the director with giving him the worst advice of his career.

This week, two newcomers take over the horror rankings, including a movie that won't even see the light of day until next year. That means our previous leaders, Mirrors and Midnight Meat Train (aka, the M Squad) get pushed down the list. Otherwise, all the news this weeks focuses on (sigh) remakes.

Let's see how everything stacks up:

Horror Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Movie (or Comic, etc.)
1	-		The Cabin in the Woods Drew Goddard. Joss Whedon: October 23, 2009. Mark it in your calendars. This will be the best horror movie of all time. Better than Leprechaun in Space, Ghoulies 2 and Dr. Giggles.
2	-		Hack/Slash The Re-animator is back, and he's in comic book form! Tim Seeley's superlative riff on slasher movies manages to work Dr. West fluidly into the narrative, while amping up the horror and action. A must read.
3	1		Mirrors Sorry, Kiefer. I'm just too excited about a movie coming out in over a year, and a comic book featuring a character who hasn't appeared in the past five years to keep you at number one. Don't take it personally.
4	2		Midnight Meat Train Um, yeah, same thing for you, Meat Train. Look, guys, I've been pushing you both pretty hard, as you're actually well done horror movies. But Whedon and West beat Mirrors and Meat any day of the week.
5	-		Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer Our reviewer says that Jack Brooks is, "downright Canadian in its low key charms." Hey, Canadian with a side of Robert Englund is just how we like our horror movies. Plus, all the throat-punching isn't half bad, either.
6	4		Friday the 13th I'm starting to get cautiously optimistic... There's good buzz coming off the remake, and a documentary, His Name is Jason, about the entire series, will premiere next Friday. Go to it, big guy!
7	9		Rocky Horror Picture Show Tom Blunt writes, "I think the Olsen twins should share the role of Frank N. Furter, speaking all the lines simultaneously. And I think Susan Sarandon should do her own role again." That sounds awesome. Tom Blunt for director, anyone?
8	-		It's Alive This three minute trailer for Josef Rusnak's, yes, remake, of It's Alive shows off the whole movie, and alternates between hilarious, and pants-wettingly frightening. For a tagline, how about, "You'll never go into the crib again!"
9	6		Twilight In case you haven't noticed, we only have two columns on the list: Rank, and Last Week. If we had a third column for "# of Weeks," and you knew the number of weeks I've left this movie on here, I think you'd kill me.
10	-		Poltergeist Speaking of remakes... Here's the deal. I can see saying, "Let's remake one of Wes Craven's first films." I can see saying, "Let's remake Sean S. Cunningham's Friday the 13th." But Tobe Hooper and Steven f-ing Spielberg? Stop it.

This week's rankings are all about misunderstood movies and remakes. Leading the misunderstood is Midnight Meat Train, which probably won't find an audience until it's on video. With remakes, we have some rumors to discuss, including Friday the 13th, which just might be one of the biggest movies of next year. Who will die on the vine, and who will slash its way to the top? For that, we've got to turn to the horror rankings:

Horror Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Movie (or Comic, etc.)
1	2		Mirrors Our reviewer loved it (well, the first third at least), and the audiences who have taken a chance on Alexandre Aja's horror flick have too. Trust me when I say: It's the scariest film about mirrors since Mulan.
2	1		Midnight Meat Train If it weren't for Mirrors opening, Meat Train would still be in the number one spot. But our viewers still can't find a screening, and the fans are still pissed at Lionsgate.
3	-		Welcome to Hoxford First mentioned months ago, Ben Templesmith's series has finally arrived... And it's as horrific as you'd want from the 30 Days of Night artist. Blood, guts, and guards eating the prisoners. Can't wait for issue #2.
4	5		Friday the 13th The film doesn't arrive until next year, but it's already getting the preview treatment of a major studio release. Let's hope that the dollars spent on this remake don't lead to another dumping as with MMT or Mirrors.
5	-		Saw V What's the best thing about the Saw franchise? Is it the creative kills and traps? Maybe it's Tobin Bell as Jigsaw? Or perhaps it's knowing that if it's Halloween, it must be Saw? Nope. It's the blood drive.
6	6		Twilight With Harry Potter 6 moving from Thanksgiving to next summer, we're going to get Twilight one month earlier! If it's Thanksgiving, it must be super pale teen vampires playing baseball, right? Thanks to Eunice for the pic.
7	-		Candyman While Clive Barker's Meat Train seems stalled at the station, the remake train chug-a-lugs on, this time with Clive Barker's Candyman. Tell you what... Go back to the original story for the remake, and we have a deal.
8	-		Nightmare on Elm Street Next up on the remake front is the "news" that Billy Bob Thornton will be playing Freddy Krueger. How many times do we have to say this: They don't even have a script yet.
9	-		Rocky Horror Picture Show Last stop on the remake train is a possible remake of Rocky Horror from MTV films, which finally got financing last week. Let me say this: I've seen enough of that movie to last a lifetime.
10	8		Hellboy II: The Golden Army In a summer filled to the brim with superheroes, monsters, and more, Hellboy 2 managed to be original, funny, scary -- and kick serious amounts of butt. Before we say goodbye to it on the Horror Ranking, I wanted to give it one last hurrah.

This week on the Horror Rankings, we go to bat for Midnight Meat Train, and Mirrors, and take the bat to The Haunting of Molly Hartley, and Hostel Part III. (Though we're not sure if "taking the bat" to something is an actual expression.) Plus, the best horror comic on the shelves, Locke and Key makes an appearance. Seriously, it's also the only horror comic that is actually frightening. Let's get to the rankings:

Horror Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Movie (or Comic, etc.)
1	1		Midnight Meat Train OK, we're going to try this again, as the Meat Train needs your help, and readers were having trouble finding a local theater: head over here, and find out how to get the Meat Train back on track!
2	2		Mirrors Though not quite as needy as Midnight Meat Train, Mirrors also needs help... mainly from online bashing. C'mon, people: Alexandre Aja is a very good director. You're finally getting good horror, and all you do is complain?
3	-		Hell Ride Here's what I parsed from our mostly positive review of Hell Ride: Michael Madsen; Vinnie Jones; Dennis Hopper; David Carradine; and the phrase, "large number of arrows are fired into soft bodies." I'm there.
4	-		Locke & Key Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's masterful horror comic series from IDW (why hasn't this been picked up for a film yet?) ends its first six issues with a bang. This is the best horror comic on the shelves.
5	-		Friday the 13th I'm still hesitant to recommend this remake as much as the top three movies on the list, but this bootlegged behind the scenes (really? already?) footage is starting to give me a little hope.
6	5		Twilight With Breaking Dawn's ending causing fans to riot (the last book in the series, for those of you who don't know), the Twilight backlash has begun. So why is Twilight ranking so high? Because it's super embarrassing for fans. Hee hee.
7	-		The Haunting of Molly Hartley I had never heard of this movie before watching the trailer; but now that I have, I'm pretty sure it's not actually a movie at all, but one of those fake, funny online trailers. I mean, look at how the girl playing Molly Hartley runs: Hilarious!
8	4		Hellboy II: The Golden Army I asked you guys whether Hellboy II warranted a sequel. You guys still haven't answered, so I'm going to assume the answer is no. Hence, Hellboy ranks lower than an embarrassing book and a possibly fake trailer. Sorry, Big Red.
9	-		Hostel Part III Having just read another article about the sequel, I'll officially go on record by saying this is a bad idea. Eli Roth writes and directs horror movies that are actually comedies, and without him on board, I don't think they'll get the tone.
10	8		The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor There's actually been a backlash to the backlash against the Mummy, with people saying, "C'mon, it's just a silly action movie. It's not that bad." No. It is. You're wrong. Sorry.

Midnight Meat Train makes the top of the list this week for two reasons: First, it's very, very good; and second, given that it's being released in only 100 theaters, everybody should see it this weekend to show Lionsgate that there is interest in well-made horror films with silly names. That's it: Let's teach Lionsgate a lesson by giving them our money.

Besides Meat Train, we've got some official word on Nightmare on Elm Street, a fake The Host 2 trailer, and two recent films that absolutely suck. Can you guess which ones they are?

Horror Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Movie (or Comic, etc.)
1	-		Midnight Meat Train MMT has been bouncing on and off of our list for weeks, mainly because nobody thought it would be good (meaning me). But our reviewer loved it, and I tend to agree. Go see it... if you can find it in a theater near you.
2	10		Mirrors Mirrors, stop playing with my heart. I ranked you low last week because nobody was talking about you at Comic-Con. But then I see that clip of Amy Smart tearing her own face off, and I fall in love all over again.
3	-		A Nightmare on Elm Street Got some exclusive news for you, straight from the horse's mouth (and by horse, I mean New Line): There's no Tara Reid in the horror reboot. In fact, they're still working on the script, and that's it. Everybody exhale, okay?
4	3		Hellboy II: The Golden Army All right, so here's my question for you, Hellboy II is fun and has some fantastic monsters, but is it good enough to warrant a sequel? I think so, especially given the hints dropped in I and II, but what do you think?
5	6		Twilight I have something terrible to confess to all of you: I think I may be a Twilight fan. I'm not as excited about Twilight as I am for, say, the top four on this list, but I eagerly await Twilight news each week, so I can put it in this Horror ranker.
6	-		The Host 2 Let's leave behind the debate as to whether there should even be a sequel to the superb The Host (there shouldn't), because this is horror, and horror demands sequels. And also, because this fake trailer totally got me excited.
7	-		Baghead There's a part of me that feels a kind of bad for Baghead. It's a little indie horror movie that tries to mash up genres, mixing comedy and horror with typical Mumblecore angst. Problem is, it fails. But hey, you tried, right guys? Right?
8	2		The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor If this weren't a family website, there's a phrase I'd use to describe what this movie did this past weekend. It involves beds, and something that you shouldn't do in beds, but would probably do in a bathroom. Get it?
9	5		The X-Files: I Want to Believe In the battle of the horror sequels that suck, The X-Files is still losing to The Mummy. Not only that, but there's something supremely sad about David Duchovny's insisting that the bad B.O. is because of The Dark Knight. Oh, DD.
10	-		Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Look, we can all debate whether this even remotely counts as horror (hence its inclusion at the end of the list), but if any of the books can make it here, it's this one. And Young Voldemort, based on the new trailer, is completely terrifying.

Having spent the past weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, my Power Rankings have been momentarily taken over by the buzziest items at the show. Sadly, this spells doom for last week's top ranker, The X-Files, which was the subject of approximately zero conversations at the Con (that's a rough estimate). However, one big new flick tops the list that I think you guys might be interested in, so enough jibber jabber; let's get to the rankings:

Horror Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Movie (or Comic, etc.)
1	-		Saw V With The Punisher and Repo panels, Lionsgate could have claimed the win at SDCC '08. But they didn't rest on their laurels, premiering a new trailer for Saw V to an audience of fans who went totally nuts.
2	3		The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor I've backed the wrong horse before, but the terracotta army that protected the Convention Center got more photo ops than Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian combined. So I'm feeling pretty good about this.
3	4		Hellboy II: The Golden Army Everywhere you looked, there were Hellboy costumes on the Con floor, from full blown body paint, to the world's tiniest Hellboy. That and all the buzz on Dark Horse's new movie properties, shows that Hellboy is here to stay.
5	1		The X-Files: I Want to Believe Though I can't in good conscience knock the first X-Files story in six years right off the list, it's also one of the worst movies in six years. Given that SDCC is nerd central, you would think there would be some talk about the flick... there wasn't.
6	10		Twilight We've been debating its value for weeks, but it bumps back up a few notches for having the funniest T shirt at SDCC: "Twilight Con '08: Wait, Is There Something About Comics Going On?" Hilarious.
7	6		Friday the 13th We got a few more pics of the Jason reboot at the Con, but not much else. In an atmosphere where panels are set up just to assure fanboys that, "everything will be all right," you'd expect there'd be more hand holding.
8	5		Repo: The Genetic Opera A packed to the gills panel with screaming fans, singing the songs from the flick certainly helped, but negative buzz about Paris Hilton's participation caused critics to say that SDCC had "jumped the shark." So it's a bit of a draw.
9	-		N Marvel kept hyping their "To the Nth Degree" panel as the super secret unveiling of the next evolution of comics, but the press spoiled the reveal ("N" is a mobile phone adaptation of a Stephen King story) the day before. Oops.
10	8		Mirrors I think maybe I saw one (godawful) poster or something for Mirrors at the Con, but considering it's a major horror property coming out in a few short weeks, from a popular horror director, you'd think there'd be more marketing.

As the summer wears on, we're getting closer and closer to horror season, which means a few early stragglers, like Mirrors, and Midnight Meat Train (both back on the List this week) will be hitting theaters soon. But first, I have to convince you all to go see The X-Files and The Mummy, which it seems like most of you don't want to do. You're wrong, and I'll tell you why:

Horror Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Movie (or Comic, etc.)
1	2		The X-Files: I Want to Believe Fans have forgotten how good the show really was and are starting to doubt that the new movie. But I can name two things that make this movie number one on my list: Mulder and Scully.
2	-		Resident Evil: Degeneration I'm a complete sucker for this series. The first one sucked, and I couldn't wait to see the second one. The second one was worse, and I went to the third on opening night. This one is animated, has no Milla, and yet, I'm still salivating.
3	5		The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor I got into a long debate about the line from the trailer where Brendan Fraser looks at the camera and says, "Here we go again!" You're either on board with that line (like I am), or you're not seeing this movie.
4	1		Hellboy II: The Golden Army I know I went to bat for Hellboy the past two weeks, but there's something else not appropriate to put on this horror list that is similar to Hellboy II, but better. You know, the big movie that came out this weekend? Mamma Mia?
5	3		Repo: The Genetic Opera I made the terrible mistake of checking out the Repo homepage. Not because it crashed my computer, but because the songs play automatically, and are now completely stuck in my head. Thanks a lot, Repo.
6	7		Friday the 13th Though I'm still a little unsure why we need a Friday the 13th remake, I'm curious if anyone else saw the first official pic of the new, beefcake Jason and thought... "Yeah!!! Time to get slashin'!" Maybe that was just me...
7	-		Midnight Meat Train It's unfortunate that Meat Train, which comes out in a few short weeks, doesn't have us as excited as Repo, or even the iffy Friday the 13th remake. So here's a suggestion: Have midnight showings on subways. There. I just made you a million dollars.
8	-		Mirrors I'm bringing Mirrors back on the list for a few simple reasons: Alexandre Aja is a good director; Kiefer Sutherland is a good-ish actor; and the image of Amy Smart tearing her own jaw off just keeps making me laugh, and laugh...
9	9		A Nightmare on Elm Street This holds even on the list only because the idea of remaking Nightmare hasn't left my mind all week. And the reason is, the original Nightmare is one of the only slasher films that's also really good. If they're going to do this, please do it well.
10	8		Twilight With the second trailer now out and giving us a clearer look at the plot, I have to say... There's something supremely silly about a movie named Twilight, which is about vampires, that almost exclusively takes place during the day.

This week's Horror Power Rankings is all about challenges. No, not the challenges of putting together a Horror Ranking list when we're in the dead zone of the summer horror release schedule. (Though that would be a fair guess, and thank you for understanding what a tough job this is, it's very much appreciated.) Instead, this week we've got a challenge from a Monsterfest writer, two challenges from me to you guys and the results of a challenge one of you posed last week. So let's get to them, shall we?

Horror Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Movie (or Comic, etc.)
1	-		Tokyo Gore Police Now, I know Grady Hendrix was putting out a general challenge in his review, saying, "You can't handle Tokyo Gore Police." But I feel like he's writing directly to me. So Grady? You're on. I think I can handle TGP. Now, what? Now, what?
2	6		The X-Files: I Want to Believe Speaking of challenges, last week, Monstefest reader Whitney challenged me to watch several X-Files episodes. Well, I took that challenge, and... I'm now way more excited for this movie. Nice one, Whitney. Or should I say... GILLIAN ANDERSON???
3	-		Hellboy II: The Golden Army I challenged myself to go see a screening of Hellboy II, which was tough, as I hated the first movie. Turns out, this is a fun little surprise, with some utterly fantastic horror touches. Even if you haven't seen the first one, you'll enjoy this sequel.
4	2		The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor OK, new challenge for you guys this week: To get yourselves excited for this next Brendan Fraser adventure, watch The Mummy, Monkeybone, and Blast From The Past. We'll all meet back here next week, and see how that went, OK?
5	3		Repo: The Genetic Opera Now that we finally have a release date for the horror musical (November 7), I know that I can take the enormous amount of excitement and enthusiasm I have for the flick, and pace it out over the course of the next 18 weeks. Easy, right?
6	9		Mirrors You've got my heart going like a ping pong ball. You get me all excited, then shoot me down, then you release a Red Band trailer with *SPOILER* Amy Smart tearing her own face off. *SPOILER* Check one, Mirrors: Are you awesome, or not?
7	5		The Happening Coming back here every week and staring at Mark Wahlberg's concerned/confused expression is starting to make me hate this movie a little bit. Is that silly? Is it petty? Or maybe, just maybe, I should think about changing the picture?
8	4		Midnight Meat Train Clive Barker can defend this as much as he wants. He can beg fans to write Lionsgate and ask for a bigger release than the 100 theaters they have planned. But at the end of the day, it will still be called Midnight Meat Train.
9	8		Friday the 13th Producers: Why are you making this? Is it to make a quick buck? Bring back the slasher genre? Or is it to explore what drives a lonely young boy to become a merciless killer? And if it's the last one, remember: We don't care.
10	10		Twilight Here's my last challenge, and it's for you, the readers: At this point, I'm only leaving Twilight on here to be spiteful. So, come up with a good reason for me to kick Twilight off the Power Rankings, and I'll do so. But it's gotta be really, really good.
