Jamie Lee Curtis has a penis.


With that in mind, my vote is easy: Pitt.

does it smell like renob in here? Or possibly some relation to renob?

[Asar]

So, you're into Necrophilia then?

Lol...that legitimately made me laugh.

The 'cold shoulder' comment didn't. That was a dumb and unfunny pun.

IT was a terribly unfunny joke. It's best to just forget it and move on.

Check out The Nanny if you never have.

[illdojo]

Damn you ___V___, One of the toughest matches ever......Ummm........
Boris Karloff

[Psycom5k]

wow... really really really tough choice. Crap....I'm sorry Vincent Price has done alot for the horror genre but I gotta go with Boris.

[_____V_____]

lmao its the Final...did you expect any better? Or a one-sided encounter?;)

[Psycom5k]

Well I was expecting Bruce Campbell to sweep to the finals easily.... but that got shut down.

[illdojo]

lmao its the Final...did you expect any better?

No. :D
Me stupid, Me read to fast, Me see my mistake now. :o

[Miss Olivia]

Vincent Price!!!!!!

[Geddy]

Vincent Price.

Vincent Price

[bloodrayne]

VINCENT PRICE

[neverending]

There is no more iconic horror actor than Boris Karloff.

[missmacabre]

I love Boris but I have to side with Vincent Price.

Boris Karloff

[bwind22]

Vincent Price

[alkytrio666]

Boris Karloff. Toughy.

[alkytrio666]

wow... really really really tough choice. Crap....I'm sorry Vincent Price has done alot for the horror genre but I gotta go with Boris.
Again...I love Bruce Campbell. But I'd challenge you to name 5 great horror movies he's been in. Name 5.

Boris Karloff defined the genre, and Price ran it for nearly two decades.

Boris Karloff

Hmm...............................Karloff

[jenna26]

Damn, a tough one......um.............Boris Karloff, I suppose.

[paws the great]

Vincent price

[Kane_Hodder]

Tough? This is nearly impossible to decide.
Boris Karloff, only by a whisker, because he pioneered the horror star genre. Much respect to Mr Price though.

[bwind22]

Again...I love Bruce Campbell. But I'd challenge you to name 5 great horror movies he's been in. Name 5.

Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Bubba Ho-Tep, Maniac Cop

[ferretchucker]

Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Bubba Ho-Tep, Maniac Cop

you f'ed him in the A.


(no offence alky)

[bloodrayne]

Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Bubba Ho-Tep, Maniac CopFrom Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money and Man With The Screaming Brain...Well, I don't know if those were considered "great", but I really liked them :)

I love Bruce Campbell, but I seriously couldn't see him beating Vincent Price...Although Jack Nicholson taking out Bruce Campbell really surprised me

[bwind22]

sorry V, no hijacking intended.


my vote is still vincenet price

[alkytrio666]

I would consider three of those good horror movies. And one of 'em's pushing.
Now let's look at the other side:

Vincent Price Filmography (http://imdb.com/name/nm0001637/)

All I'm saying is that if we're truly looking for the most iconic horror star, Vincent Price, by statistics and history, runs circles around Bruce.

[bloodrayne]

All I'm saying is that if we're truly looking for the most iconic horror star, Vincent Price, by statistics and history, runs circles around Bruce.Oh, I'd never disagree with THAT, no matter how much I love Bruce Campbell...But...Jack Nicholson?:confused:

[Zero]

what about cheetah - he was AWESOME!

[_____V_____]

Thats ok, bw. We are allowed to have a bit of healthy debate in a tournament thread anyway.:)

But, like Alky said, ED and ED II can be classified as great horror, while AoD, Bubba and Maniac Cop...while being complete entertainers...CANT be hailed as great horror movies (yet). Maybe in 20-30 years time they eventually might reach that status...

But looking down the resume of either Vincent Price or Boris Karloff...these were the two who MADE the genre what it is today...the iconic status of horror as a separate and respected genre wasnt made overnight...but through years of classic and awesome performances on-screen by some of the most talented stars to have ever come out...

I am sure Bruce himself would agree with me here, and take a bow.;) (Although he would be surprised too at being beaten by Jack in this tourney)




This was one of the best Finals ever in a tournament, and it ran REAL close...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

by beating the incomparable Vincent Price by a margin of 10 votes to 9 in the closest Final match yet seen in a tournament...

The winner, and the undisputed KING OF THE HORROR STARS...

[ferretchucker]

Jamie lee curtis. She is one of the few individuals that I would class as being a horror queen.

[The_Raven]

Bette Davis most definitely.

Jamie Lee has done some notable work but nowhere as near or as good as Bette. She was great in her screen presence.

[Miss Olivia]

Bette Davis!!!!

[_____V_____]

Wow...this MUST be one of the BIGGEST comebacks in the history of tournaments...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

From trailing 6-1 after the initial votes, and making a really strong comeback to beat Jamie Lee Curtis by a margin of 10 votes to 8...

This has been a truly remarkable tournament with quite a few BIG upsets and which shows that true talent and quality actors are never gone unnoticed in the annals of history.

All hail and bow to Boris and Bette...you both rule the Horror genre long after you are gone from the scene.

A big thank you to each and every member who participated and cast their vote to make this tournament a highly successful one. (All I did was announce results and post the next match anyway)

Fun tournament, though I had to miss some of it. Great job, yet again, V!

[Psycom5k]

God, even for women back then she was beautiful. Not saying that women back then are ugly, its just the style that they had I don't like.

I like the outcome of the voting, even if Bruce didn't make it....

[alkytrio666]

Excellent tournament, excellent results. Congrats to Boris, Bette, and __V__!
