[ferretchucker]

P.S - thanks for the tip with the avatar olivia

[The Mothman]

The Evil Dead.

know what we should end the tournament right here, because here is your answer

[_____V_____]

The Evil Dead eventually wins 10-6 over Day of the Dead and walks into the FINAL of this tournament!! (HAIL TO THE KING BABY!)



The Grand Finale of the tournament rolls up next...

[_____V_____]

This tournament has stretched for 3 whole months and its been a long and winding journey for plenty of the qualifiers from the Golden Era of Horror movies, the 1980s. There were plenty of surprise winners and losers, and plenty of comebacks to note. Some of them surprised with their popularity, while some others surprised with their losses.



As good as the Finalists may seem, dont forget the two overwhelming favorites who lost out in the Semis:-

Day of the Dead was the third extension of the creative brilliance shown by Romero's genius and Savini's artistry.

Carpenter's The Thing redefined the definition of the word "scary" as it broke all popularity records with the cine-going audience back then, as it still does now...



Finally, it all comes down to this moment. When two mighty titans of 1980s horror will fight it out to be crowned as the single defining milestone of the genre, which stamps its authority over an entire decade when horror was at its most popular peak.

Will it be the original's uniqueness?
Or the sequel's huge popularity?



You decide. Voting ends on Friday night, 29th of December...and the leader then will be crowned the 80s KING of horror...

[roshiq]

WaaoW!!

N e way, I prefer original's uniqueness

THE EVIL DEAD

[Thomasgeorge]

[Freak]

Evil Dead 2

[Geddy]

The Evil Dead 1.

[The_Return]

...redefined the definition...

Redundant much?

Evil Dead 2

[paws the great]

Evil Dead 2

[The Flayed One]

The Evil Dead

[Spec7ral]

Evil Dead 2

[bwind22]

[_____V_____]

Raimi himself would be undecided to choose...
Will it be the original?
Or the sequel?


HDC says 6-6 so far...opinions divided sharply and equally!!



Who will win this epic battle of Raimi's cult masterpieces?

Keep the votes coming...:cool:

[Spec7ral]

Gorehounds Where Are You!!!!?!?!?!?

[alkytrio666]

The Evil Dead

[Roderick Usher]

Evil Dead 2

[Burning in Hell]

Evil Dead 2

[Despare]

[neverending]

Have to go with the original, though I liked them both.

[_____V_____]

Raimi's unique masterpiece The Evil Dead and its brilliant and popular sequel Evil Dead 2 are locked at 9-9 apiece!!


Who will break free and run past the winning post to be crowned the King of 80s Horror? So far its neck and neck for both cult classics...



More votes needed to decide this tense cliffhanger Final...

[onewhosighs]

I can say that both Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 are perhaps some of the greatest horror movies ever created.

I love both alot but i'm sorry, Evil Dead 1 started it all, and it actually was a SCARY movie. I love them both!!! ARGH!! SO HARD

I rest to say, that I vote... The Evil Dead (first one)

[The Mothman]

Evil Dead had FAR too many problems and Evil Dead 2 was a slapstick comedy. How are these the two finalists? Is this a mongoloid forum?

shut the fuck up you stupid shit-eating moronic queer! Nobody likes you, nobody wants you here, you have fucking awful taste, go the fuck away.

god that felt good.

Thanks to everybody who voted and made this long tournament a successful one.

Also thanks for bearing with me when my comp was down, and bumping the tourney thread to keep it fairly recent.

Thanks to BW for being my source of inspiration again, and to Return & Flayed for their constant encouragement.

Finally, congratulations to Roderick Usher for being the person who voted the most times in this tourney. You, sir, have the privilege for choosing the subject of my next tourney, whenever I deem it possible to start a new one.:D



Thanks all...it was a fun-filled joyous ride into the 1980s world of bestselling horror...all rise, and say (after me) HAIL TO THE KING!


******* TOURNAMENT CLOSED *******

[stygianwitch]

[Thomasgeorge]

[slayer666]

That was a fun one. I'm looking forward to the next one.

[alkytrio666]

Time's up...

Alky voted twice, so his first vote will be counted only...(although he voted for the original both times)

Shit, man. Sorry about that. Honestly forgot I already voted.

I'm losin' m' damned mind!

Good tournament, _V_!

[_____V_____]

Thanks a lot guys. It was indeed a great tourney, and that too from my favorite decade of horror. But it was made successful by each and every vote that was cast in, so credit goes to all of you who voted and made it a success.

Thanks again, and Happy New Year!!:D

[ferretchucker]

the next one should be something like "90's horror tournament".

It'll be tough because nearly all 90's horrors were crap.

Oh well, good luck with the next one, but like just proved by evil dead and evil dead two, it can never be as good as the first.
