I kind've liked all of these.
Though I'll go with NOES as it's pretty much my favourite of the sequels.

Fulg HoarAR 03-30-2013 10:36 PM

Sleepaway Camp! Its fairly unique in the slasher genre, that friggin ending
'shudder',

Absolutely.

metternich1815 03-30-2013 11:14 PM

Well, it appears that we already have a winner! The results were:

Sleepaway Camp:5 (natedog722, fortunato, bamahorrorfan87, Fulg HoarAR, and V)

April Fool's Day: 0

A Nightmare on Elm Street Part III: 1 (cheebacheeba)

Thus, Sleepaway Camp is clearly the winner!

I also would have voted for Sleepaway Camp, although personally I really liked the other two too. But, I thought Sleepaway Camp was a fresh approach to the Slasher genre with very good acting and an interesting plot.

Tough one. I really like all three of these.

Happy Birthday to Me.

Mother's Day for me.

Prom Night!

Happy Birthday To Me...

Sculpt 04-01-2013 01:55 PM

Prom Night for me; it was pretty compelling. Good cast.

PS - Happy Birthday to Me - it was so weird seeing Mary Ingalls (Melisa Sue Anderson) is a horror role.

metternich1815 04-01-2013 01:56 PM

So, I assume you are voting for Prom Night? (I will count your vote as Prom Night, if you do not want this, you have one hour to indicate this)

Yes, Prom Night. Just making a comment on Birthday.

metternich1815 04-01-2013 02:31 PM

Well, after a grueling match between the three, we finally have a winner! Here were the results:

Prom Night: 5 (natedog722, horrorfangirl66, tiberius, MichaelMyers, and Sculpt)

Happy Birthday to Me: 4 (knife_fight, newb, Rela1024, and realdealblues)

Mother's Day: 3 (V, The Villain, and fortunato)

Thus, Prom Night is the winner!

Unfortunately, I have not seen Happy Birthday to Me or Mother's Day, but have heard alot of good things about them. Consequently, I would also have chosen Prom Night.

We will now move on to the next category of horror movies: Scfi Horror

Also, I would like to inform everyone that just in case a particular category threatens to kill this thread I will impose a maximum time limit on each section. Here is the modified rule: after I post a given section, then there will be an approximately 68 to 72 hour maximum time frame to respond. If a film has failed to receive the five votes needed to win by or before that time, then the film with the most votes will win. If there is a tie, then my vote will be the tie-breaker. Hopefully, I will not have to invoke the time frame clause, but I just want to have it for additional protection to prevent the death of this thread.

This is really tough...two of my most favorite movies of all time.

Damn, can't choose between them. I abstain from voting in this one.

Anthropophagus 04-02-2013 12:13 AM

Just like -V- said,a really tough choice,i could choose all three.

Although i love them all i am going to choose my guilty pleasure and that is:

Night of the Comet.

cheebacheeba 04-02-2013 04:53 AM

ALIENS, on rewatchability.

fortunato 04-02-2013 07:31 AM

Aliens........

realdealblues 04-02-2013 07:55 AM

I think Aliens got to 5 votes first, but I'll still throw a vote to Predator.

If it was "Alien" I would vote for it over Predator, but the original Predator never gets old, unlike Bill Paxton's constant whining in Aliens.

Yes, even though I voted for neither film, it is a travesty IMO Predator did not win this round.

roshiq 04-02-2013 11:08 AM

Predator
..............

metternich1815 04-02-2013 01:05 PM

Despite a close round between Aliens and Predator, we have a winner! Here were the results:

Night of the Comet: 2 (Michael Myers and Anthropophagus)

Aliens: 6 (sculpt, knife_fight, horrorfangirl66, Kandarian Demon, cheebacheeba, and fortunato)

Predator: 5 (natedog722, tiberius, The Villain, realdealblues, and roshiq)

Thus, Aliens is the winner!

Personally, it would have been between Aliens and Predator, although Night of the Comet was perhaps the best B-Movie of the 1980s. In the end, the two films have their own things that make them awesome. So, for me, it comes down to the creature I liked best. So, I would have chosen Predator. Again, Aliens is a great choice as well.

John Carpenter's The Thing

Sculpt 04-02-2013 01:23 PM

Another tough one. Fly and Thing are each better than the other in different areas. I'll vote The Thing.

I think the Fly is partly about the dangers of the Übermensch mentality.
