As I said above, you should vote for SLiTHER in ALL of these categories. However, I have a couple of words to say about one...

I spent some time this week watching all of the movies in the HIGHEST BODY COUNT category and actually COUNTING the number of human deaths on screen. (And by "I", I mean my assistant, Lynn, who doesn’t really even like horror movies.) I didn’t think it would be fair to campaign in this category if SLiTHER didn’t actually have the largest amount of deaths on screen.

So Lynn and I counted the deaths in these films.

Lynn started with KING KONG, which only had 25 deaths. Cool. I was pretty sure we had that beat.

Then she watched FINAL DESTINATION 3, which had a total of 30 deaths (15 of these were in the imaginations of the characters, and we DID count them).

Again, it seems like SLiTHER had it in the bag.

I myself went to see SNAKES ON A PLANE in a theater, since I hadn’t seen it yet. It was a little more difficult counting the bodies since I didn’t have pause, slow-mo, or rewind. But there were about 29 deaths.

Awesome.

Then Lynn watched DOOM. She came into my office and told me there were 91 deaths in DOOM.

Ow. Wow. Now, that was worrisome. Finally, a worthy fucking competitor in the category. We were both afraid. I wasn’t sure exactly how many people were killed in SLiTHER, and there was a chance we were going to lose it. (NOTE: this was the unrated DVD of DOOM, not the theatrical version - the R-rated version might have a smaller death toll).

So we watched SLiTHER.

There were 104 deaths.

SLiTHER has a single shot near the end of the film where over 30 people die, beating 3 of the other 4 contestants in ONE SHOT! Also, the 104 total is NOT counting zombies, who are essentially dead people. If you count the zombies, the death total would rise to 176!

In the end, the final tally of human deaths:

KING KONG - 25 Deaths

SNAKES ON A PLANE - 29 Deaths

FINAL DESTINATION 3 - 30 Deaths

DOOM - 91 Deaths SLiTHER - 104 Deaths (including zombies: 176)

So be sure especially to vote for SLiTHER in this HIGHEST BODY COUNT category!

And get your friends to do it too! Spread the word! SLiTHER is at a great disadvantage in this vote because it’s not as big as the other movies on the list, and it’s not out on DVD until after the awards. So we need YOU to help out: spread the word on messageboards and on MySpace. Let people know about the body count tally. Browncoats, take care of your boy Nathan, who so richly deserves this award! If we ever needed the help of our Internet friends, it’s now.
