Are we voting for most memorable? Biggest impact on Monster cinema? Strictly your personal favorite? Just my thoughts.

Good questions. None of the three old tournies had any categorical setup (monster type, decade, etc), they were just randomized selections and brackets. Two were basically asking folks to "pick the one you like better". And one was "who would win in a fight" which was a cool fun idea.
There's only so many things you can judge by. I'd tend to go by a definition of the 'greatest' which would be a subjective combination of personal level of impact of any kind, depth of fascination, depth of background and interesting characteristics, creatures' wider symbolism, impact on film history and fame. But not sure yet. I'll mull over some ideas. (You know that expression, Kan?) ;)
