I think the worst is probably "Slaves and Masters". That's what I voted for. "Variations on Relations" and "The Night of the Decision" are pretty bad too. "May the Giant Be With You" is laughably bad but I sort of like it too because it's SO bad it's good in a silly and cheesy way! Most of them are generic, but I like a few of the hoary ones - "Drive With a Dead Girl", "Lost Souls", "The Condemned Woman" etc. They've almost got a film noir (or wannabe film noir!) vibe.
I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.

Actually, now that some time has passed, I'm voting for "The Full Blossom of the Evening".
^ Lol! I actually wish this was a title for one of them.
