The tourney now moves into the Pre-Quarter Final stage. The rounds now become increasingly tougher, and the opponents can be really tough to choose from. Nevertheless, in our quest to find out the best in this category, we will soon find out which movie is the KING when it comes to depicting Horrors of Space in movie-making history.

At this stage, anyone who correctly predicts the winner of this competition within the next 24 hours, shall get the privilege of choosing my next tournament through PM to me after this tournament ends. He/She can also specify which movies to be included in it, and after my research into it, shall be deemed included if they are worthy of the sub-genre. In short, he/she will be my co-host of the new tourney. (Although I will be taking a break once this tourney is over)

So, without further ado, lets roll in the round of the Final 16!!!

At last! We have reached the big one...the FINAL of our long journey. The two movies which will lock horns in this encounter have long been hailed as THE definitive movie of this particular sub-genre. Lets see which one will take the crown, when it comes to winning the trophy.

and the opponent...

The darkest, eerie, surreal and most intriguing movie of this sub-genre which has held the imagination of the toughest of critics and movie buffs all around the world, this superb flick has had a cult following since its first release. Now, even after 27 years, it still manages to make viewers jump out of their seats, and wonder what they had just witnessed. Plenty of sequels later, this movie is still regarded as THE best of the franchise, and overall best in this particular sub-genre category of Horror.
This flick has been a fan favorite of the entire tournament, virtually shutting out all its opponents cept a few, and it has knocked over other huge popular ones such as Predator, Predator 2, Heavy Metal, Sphere and the 1993 version of Body Snatchers.

In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream...

We had a predict-the-winner contest in PMs to me in the middle of the tourney. Lets see who predicted which movie would win, and how many predictions were correct in the end.
The winner(s) would get a chance to suggest my next tournament in a separate PM, and submit their choices of movies which they think should be included in that tournament.

The Return - Alien(WINNER)

persuasian70 - Alien (WINNER)

Dante's Inferno - Alien (WINNER)

Yeti13 - Alien (WINNER)

Austin316426808 - The Thing

MissOlivia - Aliens


Congratulations to the winner(s)! Since there is more than 1 winner, all 4 of you automatically qualify to suggest the next tourney to me on separate PMs. I will research into it and then start the new tourney of the most interesting choice out of all the 4. But for now, I am taking a break for awhile.


Thanks to all who voted to make my 2nd tournament a hugely successful one. Again thanks to bwind22, Dante, MissOlivia, Entity and most of all, The_Return, for their invaulable inputs and suggestions throughout the tourney which made it another resounding success. Thank you guys, you all rock! :)
