Agreed. I think Sleepy Hollow would be the perfect combination of horror, tension, and light comedy for spooky viewing! Love most of the other selections as well. 🤓

Andy Munden

If Sleepy Hollow doesn't win this time, I hope it'll get watched anyway

Byrd N. Hand

Yes, 60 + 60 + 51 = 171. 🤨

Mark D

My bad! Indeed, I mixed you up with another creator.

Byrd N. Hand

Yeah, I don't understand her thought process of including a sci-fi/action thriller with a bunch of spooky season titles. 🤷‍♂️ But, on the other hand, I do think it's the best movie in this poll, so I'm glad it's winning.

Byrd N. Hand

At least "The Abyss" has regained the lead over fricking "Constantine." Of course, becsause it's so close, she's most likely going waste a slot watching that one as well just like with "Signs." 🙄

Richard Maurer

Nah.

Andre Agog

An interesting selection again. Bram Stoker's Dracula is the clear standout to me, but it's also doing the worst in the poll, so heigh-ho. Sleepy Hollow and The Crow are also good. Not too keen on the rest.

Luis Fernandez

I cast my vote to watch the winner then move on to a new list.

Cameron Kerby

I don’t know how you tolerate comments like the original one Mark D made. Good for you for having patience with those types.

Cameron Kerby

You could try having the maturity to respect other people’s choices and the patience that someday Addie may choose your suggestion.

Cameron Kerby

Only thing I’ll say is if you watch any of these movies then you should have no problem watching Stir of Echoes at a later date. Just saying.

Alex Tan

Say it with me: THE ABYSS SPECIAL EDITION! ✊✊ THE ABYSS SPECIAL EDITION! ✊✊ THE ABYSS SPECIAL EDITION! ✊✊ THE ABYSS SPECIAL EDITION! ✊✊ #TheAbyssSpecialEditionForAddieCounts

*2 hours and 51 minutes

Richard Maurer

Exactly, thanks for seeing things my way.

Thats MR. Baldamort

"Everybody else's tastes in movies isn't my taste therefore they all suck" is what you mean.

Matthew Maxon

100% agree. I saw it 4x in the theater

Chip MC

results so far are kinda odd. nothing against the abyss but i feel it’s an interesting poll pick for halloween and its very peculiar that it’s winning. my pick is sleepy hollow tho!

DM DC

I love The Crow (The 1994 one) for me it's the only one! lol. Eh alright, I did think some of the sequals were okay. Of the sequals I liked The Crow: Wicked Prayer(2005) the best. City of Angels sorta angered me a bit. Didn't like it. Salvation was so/so. The first one though, man it's such a gorgeous movie. Haven't seen the new one and don't plan to. I myself consider it an insult to Brandon Lee and to just be in poor taste. That's my personal take on it though.

DM DC

Dang, some awesome choices here. Not sure what to pick. The Crow is such a beautiful movie. The Abyss is stunning. Bram Stoker's Dracula is a trip. Constantine is a great time. Sleepy Hollow is loads of fun. Shutter Island is really earie. The Mist, I fear might break her.

Ernesto Lopez

My thoughts exactly 😂

Alex Tan

Yeah, it's a newly remastered version of the 1993 Special Edition. #TheAbyssSpecialEditionForAddieCounts

Matthew Maxon

For us Gen Xers, The Crow was the bomb. And Brandon Lee died making it too.

Jacob King

Constantine is one of those movies that found its audience after it failed at the box office. It was too weird for critics but it’s definitely not a bad movie (especially by mid 2000s comic book adaptation standards). Some really great character actors in minor roles.

Thats MR. Baldamort

Addie, I recommend watching the Remastered version of the Abyss that came out recently. Its the same movie but its just visually enhanced for modern screens. You can find it on amazon. 2hrs 51min is the run time you are looking for. Its only version that is streamable right now.

Richard Maurer

Damn people here sure pick mediocre movies all the time.

Addie Counts

SO MANY!! I'm not running out of movies any time soon :)

Lemurian Jones

Constantine is fine taken on its own, but it's a terrible adaptation of the character. If that's irrelevant for you, then it's not too bad a movie. And Peter Stormare is in it. That's a always a plus for me.

Addie Counts

I've never posted the Hunger Games on Patreon or YouTube? You must be thinking of someone else lol

Mark D

Didn't know that. So, she had already watched the series when she posted the first two? What a disappointment.

Guillaume Huet

Your polls tell us one thing: you still have so many great movies to discover.

Philip Davetas

Yeah, not a fan at all of AVATAR.So much so, I couldn't watch the sequel. But that doesn't make you a bad person for liking it. What we're talking about here are opinions which has no moral boundaries. We all like what we like and there's no right or wrong in that.

Byrd N. Hand

The first "Avatar" was basically just a mashup of "Dances with Wolves," "The Last Samurai," "FernGully: The Last Rainforest," and the Pocahontas/John Smith story. And designing the Na'vi to look like tall blue cat people certainly didn't help in endearing me to them. 😕

Doug

Hey now, the original Avatar is a good movie. 🙂 (I can’t speak for the sequel though.) I do agree though that aside from The Abyss she’s probably watched all the Cameron films I like.

Byrd N. Hand

I've never seen "The Mist," but I understand it's rather polarizing. Personally, I still firmly believe that if Addie was able to survive "The Shining," she'll be able to survive *any* horror film -- even "The Exorcist"... but, unfortunately, many people here insist on continuing to treat her like a child and protect this so-called perceived 'innocence' that most people in their late 20's lost long ago. 🤷‍♂️

Doug

Personally I don’t think Constantine is terrible, it’s ok. 🤷‍♂️ I think the main issue is it doesn’t really stand out when compared to similar things. It’s not as good a Keanu action movie as Matrix or John Wick, it’s not as good a supernatural thriller as The Exorcist or The Ring or even The Devil’s Advocate, and it’s not as good a comic book character movie as Doctor Strange or the better Batman films. And Keanu doesn’t fit the role of Constantine as well as Matt Ryan who’s played him regularly since 2014. So I don’t think it’s that Constantine is bad, it’s that it could have been better.

Philip Davetas

I'm not a fan of James Cameron's on-his-own flicks. He seems to be best at movies where a mythology is already established. ALIENS, TRUE LIES (based on a French flick), TERMINATOR (based on an OUTER LIMITS episode). As far as THE ABYSS, the documentary of making the movie is far more entertaining than the movie itself. All that crazy drama that went on while making it is film school alone. But in your defense, I saw THE ABYSS when LEVIATHAN, DEEP STAR SIX, LORDS OF THE DEEP and when Michael Crichton's SPHERE came out, so by the time Cameron's movie came out, I had already been bored of underwater flicks. There was nothing new at that point.

HeyHeyJK

I've seen 'Constantine' come up and do really well on so many polls and I've always heard it's just not a good film so I've never watched it, or any reactions of it. If it wins, I'll probably at least watch Addie react to it, just to get an idea of why so many people think it's so bad (obviously not the people who always vote for). For me, on this list, I'm going with "The Abyss" but also "The Mist" because, A. amazing film for spooky time and B. well, IYKYK (NO spoilers).

Byrd N. Hand

Addie's already seen all the better Cameron films. "The Abyss" is the only worthwhile one she has yet to see, IMO. Since "Titanic" caused his head to disappear up his own ass and chose to basically dedicate the rest of his life to this "Avatar" crap, he hasn't been the same. And, for the record, I *have* seen entertaining reactions to "The Abyss" from other reactors -- most recently Jen Murray.

HeyHeyJK

Yeah, I'm with Phil. I've watched multiple reactions to that film and it has always been very well received. Just the logisitics of making that film - and the footage from it - is amazing and the reacters I've seen never fail to comment on it. The performances are great and the main plot has still not been told by any other films I know of. So, definitely going to have to 'agree to disagree' with you on this.

Phil Stubblefield

Sorry, but I have to disagree. I think The Abyss (special edition) is a fantastic movie! Cassie and Carly (Popcorn in Bed) did a very enjoyable reaction to it about a year ago. Saying there are better James Cameron movies means very little... because he made *so many* great films!

Scot Jebens

Just something for her to put in her back pocket.

Scot Jebens

I still think some people are going with the ‘break the cutie’ trope when they vote for movies like The Mist. And to be clear, I’m not commenting on anyone’s looks, it’s just the name of the trope.

Philip Davetas

I don't know how THE ABYSS makes anyone's poll. I get it's James Cameron, but there are better Cameron movies. It's one of those movies that doesn't do well for a reaction video. It's like trying to react to ZODIAC where the person is just sitting there absorbing data. Whether or not THE ABYSS is good or bad, it just doesn't lend itself well to reaction.

Byrd N. Hand

It baffles me how many times perhaps the weakest title in one of her polls ends up winning (or co-winning, in the case of "Signs" in the last one). 🤦‍♂️ I'd love to be able to watch more than 1 or 2 consecutive reactions from her on a more regular basis... 🤷‍♂️

Byrd N. Hand

Huh? She saw all of them pre-channel... and saw the prequel on her own last year. 🤷‍♂️

REDR58

If you do The Abyss make sure it’s the special edition (171 minutes).

Nathan Swapp

Sleepy hollow is the best spooktober movie

Mark D

Finish the effin Hunger Games😡

Randolph Tirazona

Geez! It's "Halloween" so Dracula!!!

Doug

I agree there, The Abyss is a great movie but it's a straight up action thriller, not really a spooky movie at all. But hey, if it wins the poll worst case it's still a great film. 👍 (Constantine has a big lead at the moment.)

Doug

I'm down for most of the films on this list. 🙂 (I'm not a fan of the 1992 Dracula, that's about it.) If I had to rate these, I think The Abyss might be the best one. The Crow is also up there at number 2 (RIP Brandon Lee!). The current poll leader Constantine is objectively not the best film (it's a 46% on Rotten Tomatoes), but I enjoyed it well enough, I'd give it 6 or 7 out of 10 probably? So I am perfectly happy rewatching that for Spooktober season 🙂 (Keavu Reeves is ok in this film, but personally I think Matt Ryan is THE definitive Constantine actor, it's like he was born to play that character! He's played John Constatine now for about a decade straight in television and animated films and shows, it's too bad he never got a shot at a live action Constantine movie.)

Byrd N. Hand

"Better Off Dead" is awesome, but she needn't react to that in October, i.e. the only month of the year she's willing to subject herself to horror/horror-adjacent flicks.

Jesse Shadows

You should do Casper for the Halloween season too. Not scary but till a great spooky time.

Patrick Blondin

The Abyss is a good movie but it’s the odd one out in this list because it’s not a horror/spooky movie.

Alex Tan

#MoreTimBurtonForAddieCounts

Scot Jebens

Addie, this list might be helpful if you’re looking for good movies that haven’t been reacted to very often. My vote would go to Better Off Dead - it’s a very Police Squad/Airplane kind of comedy. 30 Neglected 80s Movies That Deserve More YouTube Reactions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfZqKocT664

Byrd N. Hand

It would certainly be nice to get a Tim Burton film back on Addie's channel after her losing her early reactions to "Beetlejuice" and "Edward Scissorhands." Still hoping she watches his 2 "Batman" movies in December/late November (particularly since "Batman Returns" takes place around Christmas). 🤞🤞

Alex Tan

I do hope Addie watches the 1993 Special Edition of The Abyss (1989). IMO, that version is the version of the movie that I got used to, after watching it for the first time, 10 years ago. Kudos to Cassie & Carly from PiB for watching the Special Edition. #TheAbyssSpecialEditionForAddieCounts

Byrd N. Hand

Still feels less preachy and self-important than James Cameron's "Avatar" movies... 😵‍💫

Randee Carreno

Happy Thursday, Addie! 😊 Great choices for this poll. I ended up going with "The Abyss" followed by "Sleepy Hollow". Have a great day today! 😊

Kyle Brandon Sanger

This is such a good poll. I was torn between 'Sleepy Hollow', 'Dracula', 'The Mist', and 'Constantine'.

Miles E Coburn

A lot of people are going to tell you to watch the Special Edition of "The Abyss". While it does flesh out some of the relationships, in my opinion, it devolves into the preachy "be better human beings" trope many science fiction films fall back on. I just think the Theatrical Version is a tighter, better paced film. I would caution voters on whether to push Addie to watch "The Mist". Those who have seen the movie know what I'm talking about. And no, I didn't vote for it.

Byrd N. Hand

It's not a horror film, but it's nonetheless the best title on this list. I'm fine with either version... though people tend to prefer the Special Edition.

Aerith_Lives

The Abyss, please! No movie ever made like that before or after. Not the special edition, if possible. Just the normal version.

Byrd N. Hand

I hope you're saving the big guns for other polls later in the month...

Alex Tan

Happy Thursday, Addie. All are great choices but my votes belong to The Abyss (1989), The Crow (1994), Constantine (2005) and Shutter Island (2010). I STRONGLY recommend the 1993 Special Edition of The Abyss (1989), should it win this poll. #TheAbyssSpecialEditionForAddieCounts
