The aim of this project is to take an undeveloped or underdeveloped horror-related article and drastically improve it, ideally to elevate it to good or featured level status, through widespread cooperative editing. When the current HCOTM article's month long improvement period expires, articles nominated here receiving the most support votes will be selected for the next collaboration. Any editor, registered or not, can help the collaboration by contributing to the selected article.
The current collaboration can be found here.
Previous collaborations can be found here.
Removed nominations can be found here.

[edit] Selection process
- The collaborations are selected by approval voting. This is done by clicking the edit button to the right of the article's nomination, and adding the text
# ~~~~. - Only registered users may vote, and their first edit must have been before the article was nominated. Please register first if you wish to nominate an article.
- Please add only support votes. Opposing votes will not affect the result, as the winner is simply the one with the most support votes (see Approval voting).
- A vote or a show of support for an article shows your commitment to support and aid in collaborating on that specific article if it is chosen. Although you are not required to fulfill that commitment, we ask that you only support articles that you are able to contribute to so that this collaboration's goals of expanding and improving articles can adequately be achieved.
- Do not vote for all of the nominations. If you do, your votes will be discounted, as people can't expect you to work on all of them.
- The article with the most votes at selection time will become the next HCOTM.
- Articles that fail to receive 3 votes per two weeks from the time of nomination will be removed from this page.
- If you're thinking of renominating an article which has recently failed, consider waiting a month before renominating it.

[edit] Nominees
[edit] Moustapha_Akkad
My first nomination. I believe that this simple article can be greatly developed, especially on the Horror film making front. He was the only producer involved in all the Halloween movies, and took part in many documentary reports on the series. It could make an interesting addition to the horror section, since currently the article is not a part of it, and there is only one scant portion of text discussing his involvement in the series.

[edit] Poppy Z. Brite
This influential/cult author article is in need of a good old-fashioned cleanup and expansion. There's a reasonable starting point in place, and the article's been pretty neglected lately, but every cult writer deserves an article that's Thomas Pynchon-good.

[edit] Bride of Frankenstein
This vitally important film has a pretty lackluster article, and there are a wealth of fine sources for information. Most of the article's history of this well-documented production is culled from the DVD commentary track. In drastic need of expansion and citation.

[edit] Salem's Lot
One of the best vampire novels ever written, it's a classic Stephen King book that remains popular to this day. The article is very bare and could use a lot more meat. Info. on its background, structure, themes, characters, significance, critical and commercial success could be added and considerably expanded as well. Tombseye 09:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

- Nearly all the King articles need group-effort cleanups, and the 'Lot's a great place to start. Chris Stangl 20:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Salem's Lot (1979 TV mini-series)
Salem's Lot the mini-series has become a major cult classic and should be improved. The most faithful and best (in my opinion) of the adaptations of Salem's Lot, the mini-series featured some great vampire make-up and effects (for its time) and the creepy 1970s atmosphere that didn't hurt. Tobe Hooper really did a great job directing tv mini-series and the acting by James Mason and others was top notch. In fact, with a little work it could be a good article at the very least.

[edit] John Ryder
He is one of the greatest horror villians of all time and was portrayed vividly in the original and possibly in the remake. I actualy just created this article out of surprise and its currently a stub though after re-renting the movie Ill be sure to add alot to it, and whatever is said of importance in the dvd commentary. This article dosent currently live up to how great the movie and villian was and it needs our help. Isaac Witte 04:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
