You should have two Jump Scare awards. “Best Solo Jump Scare” and “Best Ensemble Jump Scare” (with Carly).

2023-02-27 14:48:26 +0000 UTCI think it was overlooked because it only has 23k views currently, but it had a bunch of views before it was taken down that reset to zero when it was reuploaded many months later. I believe it would have similar views to a few of the other nominees had it not been taken down.
Cole Jennett
2023-02-27 03:02:50 +0000 UTCThat's fine. Her channel; she can do whatever she wants with it. I will continue to support her (Carly and the whole team). My favorite so far is "that's for licking my FACE !!"
Bill Maurer
2023-02-27 00:24:31 +0000 UTCIt had 50k before it got taken down, so with the 20k+ it has currently, it’s right in the mix with the others. Not all movies can make it, I understand that part. Movies get overlooked, it happens.
Cole Jennett
2023-02-26 23:55:37 +0000 UTCA lot of reactions not on the list of nominees were videos with low views. The nominees were based upon highest viewed youtube videos within that genre.
Jon Johns
2023-02-26 23:51:32 +0000 UTCSo glad you're here! It is sometimes hard? But like a few have said in these comments, voting 'against' your favorite movie... is easier when you know you should be voting for a reaction, not a movie. As Cassie goes on her journey seeing movies for the first time, you should too, and see the movie thru her eyes? Sort of? But hey, vote for whatever you want! Glad to have you participating!
Jon Johns
2023-02-26 23:50:18 +0000 UTCPoor Sabrina just did not get many views... As loved as it is, it was not popular :-(
Jon Johns
2023-02-26 23:46:33 +0000 UTCI think Thursday?
Jon Johns
2023-02-26 23:45:39 +0000 UTCYES, but this year will be slightly different. The Video is all put together and ready to go. Several folks have created video content for this event.
Jon Johns
2023-02-26 23:45:20 +0000 UTCProbably a 'Best Cassie-ism" would be less... insulting? I mean, a "Blonde Moment" is kind of rude, even if it was not your intention. ;-)
Jon Johns
2023-02-26 23:44:18 +0000 UTCAs Far as I know, when you click thru to the form, it should show your email address at the top. You can change your votes however often as you want, but they are recorded only once. -Jon

2023-02-26 23:42:22 +0000 UTCThe jump scare is a technique. Techniques are good or bad depending on context. If they help tell the story, delineate character, or achieve other goals of the filmmakers, they are good. There is all the difference in the world between scaring people and examining the nature of fear, though it is difficult to do the latter without the former.
Ted Little
2023-02-25 14:18:16 +0000 UTCSomething can be cheap but still useful, if used sparingly :-)
Richard Maurer
2023-02-25 04:38:01 +0000 UTCThe term "jump scare" is a relatively recent one (attesting to their rarity before 1980) and so it should not surprise us that there are different definitions. I used the Wiktionary definition for lack of a more authoritative one. However, I think it is a good one because it is less subjective. I am a little confused with you main disagreement with me since you yourself said that "It is true that most are just cheap scares." I suppose it comes down to how many horror movies of which generation we have seen. But let me end by fully endorsing your last paragraph. This has been a free, frank, and friendly exchange of ideas between intelligent people and for that I am grateful to you.
Ted Little
2023-02-24 20:33:10 +0000 UTCMy definition of a jump scare is basically any scare that surprises people, how they get to that point or even the intent of the film is irrelevant to me. This does lead to a me seeing jump scares as two different types, intentional and unintentional. Unintentional jump scares can be ones where people see the set-up and still jump anyway (I refer to these as slow burn jump scares), tense scenes where something that wouldn't normally be scary is, or where people somehow miss the set-up. As to the PotO and Psycho jumps, after reading your last post I did some google research and quickly found an article on the history of jump scares in horror movies that lists both of them, even echoing that the Phantom face reveal is the first in horror, so I guess that comes down to a matter of opinion. I think my main disagreement with you is that you see jumpscares as mostly being cheap and beneath a filmmaker, where I see them as just another tool in a filmmaker's toolbox, only becoming a problem when overused. The Conjuring movies would be an example of movies with an overreliance on jump scares, thus "cheapening" them. Anyway I alway enjoy a civil discussion (too rare on the internet), even when I don't end up entirely agreeing with the other person's point of view. as I enjoy seeing another person perspective on the subject.
Richard Maurer
2023-02-24 20:06:49 +0000 UTCBut man, I did laugh really hard when Carly explains to Cassie that she TOLD the lady not to open the door! As though it should have made a difference. LMAO!
Art of Free Speech
2023-02-24 19:27:23 +0000 UTCPerhaps the real issue is what actually constitutes a jump scare. Wiktionary defines a jump scare as "having something occur suddenly and without warning to frighten the audience." Do you agree with this definition? If so, the fact that an audience member missing the warning does not make it a jump scare. Your examples seem to me to be faulty. In the 1925 Phantom, it is not the phantom who rips off the mask but the girl and she has been approaching him to take it off for a long time. The murder of Arbogast in Psycho is not a jump scare because, as he is climbing the stairs, we see the door to Mother's room slowly crack open -- as clear a warning as there can be. However, I do think there is a jump scare in Psycho. When Sam goes in search of Norman, the camera tracks just ahead of him and "suddenly and without warning" Norman appears in the doorway. The scare may be anticlimactic but every reactor on YouTube certainly jumps. I agree with you that jump scares can (though rarely are) ways to examine fright but scaring people is not by itself an examination of the human condition. I have written jump scares myself, but only as part of more comprehensive scenes.
Ted Little
2023-02-24 14:30:12 +0000 UTCTHE POPPIES ARE ON MY BIRTHDAY!! Which would be a nice coincidence, if it didn’t make it impossible for me to watch it live. 🤨 Oh well, had to get born sometime… HAVE FUN EVERYONE! 🍿
Shaun Stuart
2023-02-24 11:09:31 +0000 UTCI can agree that the door scene isn't a jump scare, certainly not an intentional one anyway. The cavet I will make is almost any scare can be a jump scare if the viewer somehow misses an obvious set-up (which I've seen happen), but this falls on the viewer for missing obvious clues rather than the filmmaker.
Richard Maurer
2023-02-24 06:23:32 +0000 UTCAnd the winner is.... Tom Cruise with a total of 8 entries!!! (Big surprise) 1. Top Gun: Maverick 2. M.I. III 3. M.I. Ghost Protocol 4. M.I. Fallout 5. A Few Good Men 6. Interview With The Vampire 7. Jerry Maguire 8. The Firm So far in 2023 we're only at 1 (Days of Thunder) but it's still early. It's possible he could repeat.
Bill W
2023-02-24 03:55:39 +0000 UTCVery true. I ended up voting against some of my favorite movies.
Bill W
2023-02-24 03:51:09 +0000 UTCCliff Stephenson Exactly...had my finger on the button for IWTV until I saw the Poltergeist jump. I had to vote against my favorite movie of the horror choices because the Poltergeist jump was so good.
Bill W
2023-02-24 03:43:51 +0000 UTCThe Replacements for best sports movie!!!
Sean S
2023-02-24 01:02:01 +0000 UTCI think we actually agree more than we disagree. We agree that Hitchcock and early horror filmmakers seldom used jump scares (I did not say never), and that most (I never said all) jump scares are cheap. Can we therefore agree that opening the door in The Birds was not a jump scare.
Ted Little
2023-02-23 22:42:34 +0000 UTCHer reaction to The Replacements might be my favorite reaction of hers, it's so much fun. I hope it wins! Also, if Carly hasn't seen it, I feel like we need a Carly reaction to it.
Zac
2023-02-23 20:09:22 +0000 UTCFirst, golden age horror did have a few jump scares, but they were admittedly rare. But in fact the first horror movie jump scare was generally considered to be in the silent 1925 version of the Phantom of the Opera - the scene where Chaney's Phantom rips off his mask to reveal his face. Also, Psycho actually does have a jump scare - (SPOILER ALERT for those who haven't seen it) the scene where detective Arbogast is at the top the stairs and Norman comes flying out to attack him is definitely a jump scare. As for jump scares not being being artful (rather than Art with a capital A) that is simply not true, but it is true that most are just cheap scares. But setting one up with none of the obvious cues that give them away to horror vets is artful, as it takes thought and planning to get around the overused set-ups that give them away to those of us who know what to look for. Rather than a deadening of senses, it's a knowledge of the language of horror films that allows the true horror fan to see through the ordinary and appreciate the rare gems. And cheap as many jump scares are they are also a necessary part of the overall art of the horror film in that they contribute to setting the tone of horror. So while using jump scares as the main source of fear is definitely not artistic, using a jump scare, even a cheap one, here and there can, and does, contribute to the ongoing layering of terror in many great horror films. As for art examining the human condition, fear is one of the most primal parts of the human condition, and the examination of fear is just as important as examining any other part of the human condition, maybe more so, as I've found that examining what scares you can lead to a conquest of that fear, even to the point of making you less fearful in your daily life.
Richard Maurer
2023-02-23 19:24:53 +0000 UTCDear Richard, I agree with your first paragraph: Hitchcock didn't do jump scares and he didn't do horror movies. However, even true horror movies from the golden age seldom had true jump scares. The fright is almost always prepared for, for example, Frankenstein's monster climbing in the window before attacking Elizabeth. As to jump scares being art: I don't see how momentary sensation can be called an art. Perhaps an ingredient of art? Art, to me, attempt to examine the human condition and jump scares cannot, by themselves, do that. You say that jump scares that can startle horror veterans are rare; perhaps that is not so much appreciation of art as it is deadening of sensibilities.
Ted Little
2023-02-23 17:20:00 +0000 UTCHitchcock didn't do jump scares because he didn't make horror movies. Psycho was the closest he ever came and even that some would argue is not really a horror movie. The jump scare in horror is, believe it or not, an art, at least to horror fans. While there are many mediocre ones designed for horror novices, a jump scare that can actually startle a horror veteran such as myself is a rare thing, which is to be met with a smile and a nod of approval.
Richard Maurer
2023-02-23 16:57:04 +0000 UTCStar Wars: The Force Awakens, Gran Torino, The Usual Suspects, L.A. Confidential & Sabrina were all great reactions and they didn't get nominated. Very disappointing.
Mark Vaderr
2023-02-23 05:57:48 +0000 UTCI’m surprised that Sabrina didn’t make the poppies along with Grand Torino
Bluebird
2023-02-23 05:46:15 +0000 UTCOkay,thanks
Bluebird
2023-02-23 05:43:52 +0000 UTCI did my part and voted! I have a feeling very few of my votes will win.
Scott Macaulay
2023-02-23 05:16:09 +0000 UTCI find it helps to catch her Youtube edits. With those, you get more reaction and less movie, and it functions as a highlight reel for her work.
Ben Livingstone
2023-02-23 04:17:39 +0000 UTCI know what you mean M&M and I wish you Blessings! When I get down, sometimes I’ll go watch a fun movie or the Dick Van Dyke show, Loosing your self in a movie or book is great therapy, Cassie has a good heart and it shows…..she is actually doing community good works!
Bluebird
2023-02-23 03:21:53 +0000 UTCHello movie lovers, this is my first time voting for the poppies! I am having a hard time disciplining myself to vote on Casies REACTION and not the movie…….anyone else having that problem?
Bluebird
2023-02-23 03:12:43 +0000 UTCI just have to say I think my personal favorite reaction of the year was Count Of Monte Cristo. So many great ones though!
Hannah Mather
2023-02-22 23:42:47 +0000 UTCTrue. With some movies it's just not the same anymore without her.
Rick Williams
2023-02-22 23:34:11 +0000 UTCI would have voted for the Birds jump scare, except that it is not a jump scare. A jump scare is the equivalent of the director jumping out at you and shouting, "Boo." Hitchcock seldom indulged in jump scares. All the frightening moments in Hitchcock are prepared in advance. When Carly can warn her not to open the door, it is not a jump scare.
Ted Little
2023-02-22 23:24:16 +0000 UTCI tried to vote for the "best reaction" not my favorite film in the list. I was surprised to see how often they were NOT the same.
Art of Free Speech
2023-02-22 22:37:38 +0000 UTCThere are movies where her reaction has become necessary viewing if you're going to watch the movie at all.
Art of Free Speech
2023-02-22 22:36:29 +0000 UTCThe ending of the reaction to Can't Buy Me Love just sealed the deal... "They're riding off into the sunset on a lawnmower making out??????" I'm almost certain it won't win best reaction, but it's easily my favorite, too.
Art of Free Speech
2023-02-22 22:35:21 +0000 UTCHey, Cassie!!! Unrelated af but I just wanted to let you know that the past 2 weeks have really really sucked for me, and your videos have been a constant source of brightness and positivity for me. Never underestimate the effect you have on people. Much love🖤🖤🖤
M&M
2023-02-22 22:18:58 +0000 UTCYes, all in good fun. Nothing harsh or mean spirited.
Bill Maurer
2023-02-22 22:16:26 +0000 UTCI’m pretty sure it was only movies reacted to in 2022
Cole Jennett
2023-02-22 21:50:54 +0000 UTCI vote the Die Hard 2 "hovering" comment as Best Blonde Moment of 2022. Of course all in good fun. 😁
Ian Cano
2023-02-22 21:37:38 +0000 UTCFor Action movie, I was thinking LW2 was a better reaction movie choice than the original. Comedy I also thought she had a great reaction to National Lampoon's Vacation. The Movie 42 would have been a great option for Sports movie reaction. Still, all great choices though.
Shawn Kildal
2023-02-22 21:08:28 +0000 UTCSabrina would have had my vote, but While You Were Sleeping is a good alternative.
Cole Jennett
2023-02-22 20:57:56 +0000 UTCI'm going to play the part of "the jerk that thinks his opinions are right": Action Movie - Die Hard 2 [Because Bruce Willis] Comedy - My Cousin Vinny [Joe Pesci! Duh!] Crime - The Godfather [It's the Godfather, nuff said] Drama - Apollo 13 [real space stuff is awesome] Romantic - Can't Buy Me Love [The most tolerable film on the list] Scary - Elm Street [Because Poltergeist gets the jump scare] Sci-Fi - District 9 [Scifi, Fantasy & Super Heroes need their own category] Sports - Rocky 4 [Ivan Drago is the bomb] War - We Were Soldiers [Mel is awesome & gave patriot to sister reaction] TV - Mando [Duh,,, look at my profile picture] Sister Reaction - Patriot [They cried a lot] Jump Scare - Poltergeist [Cassie freaked out when the clown attacked the kid]

2023-02-22 20:33:52 +0000 UTCIs there going to be another In Memoriam segment again like last year?
Tim Raths
2023-02-22 20:02:49 +0000 UTCSo many good ones to choose from. It was hard, but anyone of them could win.
Jerrod Acree
2023-02-22 20:00:31 +0000 UTCThis is a *brilliant* suggestion! 👍👍 Please, Cassie and Carly, make it happen!
Phil Stubblefield
2023-02-22 19:51:46 +0000 UTCBecause she watched Robocop in 2023.
Tim Raths
2023-02-22 19:50:16 +0000 UTCI thought Interview with the Vampire was going to get my vote for best jump scare - then I saw the Poltergeist one. That was epic!
Richard Maurer
2023-02-22 19:34:59 +0000 UTCAgreed. I thought Interview had it locked down until I was reminded just how bonkers and scared the Poltergeist clown jump was for Cassie. It’s her sustained reaction even after the jump that crushed it. Poltergeist took it for me.
Cliff Stephenson
2023-02-22 19:33:44 +0000 UTCSome of the choices were very hard. Some were very easy. But voting was a lot of fun, and watching the awards who will be even more fun!
Mike LL
2023-02-22 19:29:57 +0000 UTCAgreed! Those two were far and away the best imo.
Robin Craft
2023-02-22 19:28:00 +0000 UTCVoted!! Can I ask that for next year (maybe it's not too late for this year) but add a "Best Blonde moment"? Like "Dr No" or "Dr Number" to the categories. Thanks, love what you (and Carly) do as well as the whole Popcorn in Bed team.
Bill Maurer
2023-02-22 19:19:57 +0000 UTCAre we supposed to be allowed to submit answers more than once? It offered me the option after I submitted my answers to submit "another" set.
Mark Schamber
2023-02-22 19:16:29 +0000 UTCCarly might have <i>something</i> to do with it.
Mike LL
2023-02-22 19:11:43 +0000 UTCYour channel is so much fun.
Ian Cano
2023-02-22 18:49:26 +0000 UTCI think it is so cool that you put this together! Not only is it a great way to involve the PiB community but it is also very fun to look back at your past year of movie experiences and relive fond memories (or maybe not-so-fond ones in the case of the jumpscare cateogry). Thank you for all the time and effort you put into making The Poppies happen! I am sure it isnt easy but the results are always amazing.
Justin (CaptainProton)
2023-02-22 18:48:06 +0000 UTCI wanted to vote My Cousin Vinny, but Almost Famous ended up in comedy, and that’s a top 5 all timer for me.
Cole Jennett
2023-02-22 18:46:21 +0000 UTCThis was tough. Well done. A little surprised that Robocop wasn’t in contention 😮🍿
Burrito Jimmy
2023-02-22 18:46:15 +0000 UTCThat last Poltergeist jump scare though...I laugh so hard ever time I see it. Classic!
Dave Hill
2023-02-22 18:45:04 +0000 UTCI think Best Jump Scare comes down to Interview with the Vampire and Poltergeist-tough choice between those two for me
Jason Dolan
2023-02-22 18:39:40 +0000 UTCI'm hearing a lot of buzz around Carly for the Best Supporting Poppy. 🤞🤞🤞🍿🍿🍿
