Into the second morning of the Grand Final...
and... Sergio Leone's The Man With No Name trilogy leads with 7 votes, George Romero's Dead franchise is close on its heels with 6 votes, and Carpenter's (Snake) Escapes are at a distant third with 2 votes. The deadline ends later tonight... Keep the votes coming folks!! This one is going to be a cliffhanger!

This is super hard.
But I need to go with my gut. The Man With No Name.

Man with No Name. A great Italian director starts out with a remake of a great Japanese film, then riffs on it brilliantly. It's incredible, an achievement in filmmaking and hermeneutics.

Well done, ___V___!
An excellent tourney! I am a bit shocked that a western series can win in a horror forum, but that really speaks volumes to the power of the films. I'm really quite pleased, even though I voted for the Dead series. I love the Leone think I might have to go write a haunted spaghetti western now

It's cool how the remaining all three finalists were series that kept the same director throughout.

I voted for the Dead's and Snake earlier in this thread but now we are down to the nitty gritty.
Gotta go with Clint. As far as I'm concerned, he DEFINED the Western gunslinger (Sorry, John Wayne fans). |
