Opinions on Forum Banners (Horror)?

[Jason]

This is a 13 year old horror forum that I've maintained for many years. Activity comes and goes, nowadays it is mostly just a couple of friends and I posting on the site, with the occasional novice horror fan creating an account and asking questions about movies. Through the years I've created horror movie themed banners, dozens and dozens of them. Lately I have taken a unique GIF approach, and try to create a different style for certain movies. Some I create in the theme of a movie trailer, others are just a memorable, visual moment from a movie on a loop. These banners appear randomly at the top of the page with each refresh. I've made some banners that I've impressed myself with, others are godawful and I'm not afraid to admit it. I thought I'd throw in some of the work I consider to be among my best and see what other people think. I am a big, big fan of brutal honesty. This is how we learn. If you do not like a banner, or any of these banners, I am not exaggerating when I say that I would love to know that you don't like them, and why specifically you don't like them. I appreciate negative feedback as much as I do positive feedback. If you like these banners, which ones do you like the most, and why?

A link to the forum, if anyone is interested.

I am also totally open to feedback on the overall look of the forum, as well.
Thank you, in advance, to everyone who not only provides feedback on the banners/forum, but to those who simply took the time to read the post.







I put the animated GIF banners as a link as opposed to embedding all the images to prevent any loading problems for you.

Jason, 

I moved this to graphics where folks can give feed back on those. If you want to make a thread back in GOAYB for opinions about your forum only, feel free to create a new thread but please read the rules  first, specifically rule 3.  Thanks.
