View Full Version : Classic Horror Tournament
Yellow Jacket
12-07-2007, 03:14 PM
After the success of my Sequel Tournament (sure, it wasn't as big as the first, but what did you expect? It was a sequel), I've embarked on another tournament. It's called the Classic Horror Tournament. 40 films will duke it out, to see who will be crowned the King of Classic Horror. The movies span from the 1920's-1960's. I hope you enjoy the tournament. No more need for an introduction. Let's get this thing started.
Round 1, Match 1
Carnival of Souls

Yes! Cool tournament.
If we're talking about the 1922 version, then my vote goes to Nosferatu. If we're talking about the 1979 version, which is the DVD pictured above, then my vote goes the other way.

Well, he specified films from the 1920s-1960s, and as the Kinski version was 79, I'm going to assume he was sloppy in chosing his graphic.
So, I vote for the original Nosferatu.
If he was sloppy in chosing his films, then I vote for Carnival of Souls.

Oh wow. If you mean the 1922 version of Nosferatu, then this is a really hard one.
Unsure of which one you intended, I'm going to go with Carnival Of Souls.

At Deep Discount (http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=5786300) it's $45...and that's a steal! It's probably my favorite boxset. It really is a classic horror must-have.
It comes with 5 DVDs, 2 movies per DVD, but they're good quality, and most have commentaries. It also has a fascinating feature-length documentary on Lewton.

Vertigo...my third favorite movie of all time.
Hitchcock's masterpiece is scary in a much more permanent, haunting way than his more typical horror films. Instead of a slasher, or a monster movie, Vertigo is a picture about the dangers of obsession, and how tangled emotions can literally wreck a human being in such an irreversable way.
A horror movie for sure.

Lon Chaney Jr made that character immortal and was performance-wise, IMO, a notch above Claude Rains in Invisible Man.
