The Horror Movie Leading Characters Tournament

[_____V_____]

When we had a Supporting Characters tourney, it's only fitting to compliment it with a Leading Characters tourney as well. I have been preparing this for quite some time now, as per requests from fellow HDC members alkytrio666, ferretchucker & Dante'sInferno.

Now is the best time for it (I hope).

I have put a limitation for the tournament though - only ONE lead per film. That way it will allow us to have a bit more diversity in the tourney and, let's admit it, there's always ONE lead character which gets to hog the limelight AND the movie (there being very, very few exceptional films which score otherwise).

Sorry folks, no mainstream/popular villains here. The lead could be an anti-hero/anti-heroine/villainous character, but pure villains get their fair share of attention (and threads/tournament). Not here.

This will start later in the day. Let the anticipation begin!

[hammerfan]

Looking forward to it!

[realdealblues]

Sounds good to me. I'm ready.

[Anthropophagus]

I am moist with anticipation.:D

[metternich1815]

Sounds great!

[The Villain]

Awesome. New tournament

[MichaelMyers]

Great news!

[_____V_____]

Finally.

The Gateway guy left my home about 30 minutes ago, restoring my DSL and internet. Except for Facebook and IMDB, no other site was opening in my computer for the past 5-odd days, not even Google.

Anyway, all that is fixed. We shall start this later in the day. Apologies for the delay due to circumstances which were purely beyond my control.

[neverending]

That's very strange!

Glad you're back.

[bamahorrorfan87]

Great can't wait lol

[MichaelMyers]

Welcome back, V. I feared the vampires had gotten you.

[_____V_____]

Haha! Not till Halloween, my friend.

Okay, here we go. Onward, into the unknown!

This was a tough choice for me, as I had to pick between two characters I really love. I decided to give my vote for the best performance, and as much as I love Poltergeist, it'll have to be:

Jekyll/Hyde

[The Villain]

Jekyll and Hyde

[Giganticface]

Mummy remake... pass.
And as much as I love Poltergeist, I don't think of the dad as a driving force, or even the leading character, in the movie.

So even though I've only seen bits and pieces, I'll go with Jekyll/Hyde.

Does the film Ben do any better job at capturing Ratman's Notebooks?

No, Ben is a completely original story that takes place after the events in Willard/Ratman's Notebooks.

The original book had a satirical component that both movies ignore. Willard discovers a large rat mask in the attic and starts making raids wearing it accompanied by his army of rats. The city is in terror of "Ratman." They even start selling Ratman insurance.

My god, people... have none of you seen Repulsion?????


This is a travesty!

[hammerfan]

My god, people... have none of you seen Repulsion?????

No, I haven't.

Edit: I just added it to my queue on Netflix. I should get it some time this week.

[realdealblues]

My god, people... have none of you seen Repulsion?????


This is a travesty!

I've seen it many times and I honestly thought she would easily win this round so I gave a "sympathy vote" to Drew Barrymore. I usually don't like child actors, but I thought she did a real good job in Firestarter.

[CaraBloodyCara]

My god, people... have none of you seen Repulsion?????


This is a travesty!

Agreed. Carol Ledoux!

[metternich1815]

My god, people... have none of you seen Repulsion?????


This is a travesty!

I have not, but it is on my list.

[The Villain]

My god, people... have none of you seen Repulsion?????


This is a travesty!

Added to my list

[Sculpt]

Guess it's tough for a lady to win in this country when her movie is titled Repulsion. Travesty indeed.

[LastNightOnEarth]

Still Charlie for me.

[_____V_____]

Charlie McGee - 6 (The Villain, Anthropophagus, bamahorrorfan87, MichaelMyers, realdealblues, LastNightOnEarth)
Rachel Keller - 4 (metternich1815, Sculpt, hammerfan, Giganticface)
Carol Ledoux - 4 (neverending, Straker, Kandarian Demon, CaraBloodyCara)

Charlie McGee blows out all her tough opposition and secures the win.

(was expecting Carol to cakewalk through this one, I admit)

Please don't do that. Obviously, there's quite a few of us, including me, that have never seen "Repulsion". To be honest, I never even heard of it. But, I have added it to my Netflix queue, and should be getting it on Thursday or Friday.

[MichaelMyers]

Helen Lyle, a character I can really get behind!

[metternich1815]

Scream Queen Adrienne Barbeau as Stevie Wayne, Helen Lyle from Candyman, and May from May, all excellent characters. I guess I will go with Helen Lyle, but it was very close between all three.
