While casting your vote, please feel free to weigh in on what type of tournament you would like to see in the future. I've been pondering what to do next and so far, I've been thinking of something along the lines of a Tournament of the Living Dead (Zombie Films), a vampire film tournament, or a tournament of a specific directors films (Craven, Carpenter, Barker, etc...)

If you have any suggestions you would like to see, please feel free to mention them and I will take them into consideration.

[Freddy Krueger.]

Salem's Lot.

Wes Craven films.

[Arioch]

Salems Lot

Wes Craven films.

Come on now....we all already know whats gonna win that....

I'd like to see the vampire films tournament....alot of good vampyre flicks heh...

[kpropain]

Salems

I'd like to see a Zombie tourny myself.

Craven would be like Arioch said everybody knows Freddy would win. Can you say, BORING..............

[Freddy Krueger.]

Wes has mad a lot of good films besides NOES. Scream, Shocker, Vampire in Brooklyn, Deadly Friend, and The Last House On The Left.

[kpropain]

Yeah I know that, The Hills Have Eyes is my personal favorite and I really liked Deadly Friend also.

But I think 90% of people would relate more to Freddy and vote for him.

[Freddy Krueger.]

[zwoti]

salem's lot.

how about a competition based on country, eg italy, japan, british, spanish etc..

[Egekrusher]

Ick. Salems Lot is crap.

I vote for The Shining.



And a Clive Barker movie tournament would be good.

[bloodrayne]

The Shining......But, I love Salem's Lot, too

[orangestar]

The Shining

[bwind22]

Salems Lot jumped out to a quick lead, going ahead 4-0, but The Shining seems to be making a comeback...

Right now we're at Salems Lot 4, Shining 3...

Need more votes...

[bwind22]

Lots of good suggestions as to what type of tourney to hold next. Maybe we should hold a tourney of possible tourney to determine which tourney will be next.:p

Just kidding.

But I do like the suggestions, keep 'em coming.

The Shining makes a dramatic comeback to be crowned 'The Greatest Stephen King Film' of all time! 8-7! Thanks for participating everyone! It's been fun.

I'll take the weekend off of tournament posting, decide what tourney will be next, and begin a brand new tourney on Monday.

The Shining won didn't it?

[sjshark]

Ever though in reality shawshank and stand by me are the greatest King films.Its hard to count The Shining as a Stephen King movie

[bwind22]

Originally posted by sjshark

Why is it hard to consider The Shining Stephen King? He wrote the book that the movie was based off of. Seems pretty cut and dried to me.

Yes The Shining won!

Yes, we all know that Shawshank, Stand By Me, and Green Mile are good movies. They just aren't horror movies.

[Arioch]

Ever though in reality shawshank and stand by me are the greatest King films.Its hard to count The Shining as a Stephen King movie


THAT version of the shining is FAR more KUBRICK than KING......only slivers of the actual book are in the film, the rest is all kubrick....which is good AND bad....

[death_to_all]

I found that The Shining which was based on Stephen King's book was a huge diappointment. It could have been much much better.

[jay o2 waster]

Originally posted by Vampenguin

Shawshank redemption

[Arioch]

I found that The Shining which was based on Stephen King's book was a huge diappointment. It could have been much much better.

Thats by far the popular consensus, but i liked it....that it had a little more drama and the 217 lady FUCKING OWNED.....jack nicholson carries the first movie...this one seemed, to me atleast, alot more balanced out....

[KRUGERKID13]

is this even a tournament any more if not i would like to say stephen kings best film is the dark half

[jay o2 waster]

The Movie is sweet, but the book is so much better.

[KRUGERKID13]

my other favorite is apt pupil

[jay o2 waster]

apt. pupil is fucking badass

[KRUGERKID13]

yeah i love when he tries to cook the cat

[jay o2 waster]

Stand By Me is another great one

[KRUGERKID13]

yeah ive said it before and ill say it again whether you love king or you hate em ya gotta admit he definetly helped redefine horror

[jay o2 waster]

very true
