First time hearing of Alucarda. Added to the watch list.

2. Poltergeist (1982)

I haven't seen Poltergeist in a long time. I only remember parts. But I didn't like 30 Days of Night that much. I remember it felt kind of generic.

3. The Ring (2002)

I don't like A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 as much as most. I hate what happens to a main character. But The Ring is one of the best, if not the best American version of a Japanese horror movie. I go back and forth attempting to decide which is best.

4. I haven't seen either of these yet.

5. The Lost Boys (1987)

First time hearing of Fascination. Sounds good and I put it on my list.

6. Suspiria (1977)

Is Zombie (1979) Dawn of the Dead?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_o...ad_(1978_film)

I still haven't seen it yet. Suspiria is great though. I got a limited poster for the movie. I started a topic for it here.

http://horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68263

7. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

8. The Innocents (1961)

I still haven't seen The Innocents yet. I heard it's good. But I didn't like Dead Alive / Braindead at all.

9. Sinister (2012)

Sinister is one of the best modern horror movies to me. But I haven't seen Night of the Demon. I'll check it out.

10. Doomsday (2008)

I know Aliens is the better movie. It's probably my favorite between Alien and Aliens. But I have to give the vote to Doomsday just because I'll probably be the only one. And I love Doomsday. I never expected these two to face off. And Doomsday does have that homage shot to Aliens. But I know Aliens is winning this round.

I also didn't care for 30 Days of Night, seemed a bit aimless without enjoyable characters. Agreed, The Ring is a tight horror film. When she comes out the TV... ::EEK!:: Like Fortun said, Zombie 79 is kind of the title currently used these days, it was Zombi 2, and it's not Dawn of the Dead 1978. I liked Sinister. You'll likely be surprised by Night of the Demon, it's an untouted gem.

Yep, DOD is 78. I kind of like the title Zombi 2. Makes me think of Bambi 2.

Also, Alucarda is fucking awesome; hope you enjoy it!

Ok. Strange I just saw Zombie or Zombi 2 yesterday. I was talking to someone about their favorites on the HorrorDVDs forum. I think Suspiria is better. But I remember the movie as Zombi 2 because Tarantino joked about it around the time of Grindhouse.

ImmortalSlasher 11-03-2020 10:03 PM

I was right that I would be the only vote for Doomsday. I still think it's a crazy awesome movie.

ImmortalSlasher 11-03-2020 10:39 PM

1. Alien (1979)

Added The Plague of the Zombies to my list of movies to see. Seems like I'm going to do that a lot. Although I do have a massive list of movies to organize and I know I have duplicates on it.

2. I haven't seen either yet

3. Same as above

4. Night of the Living Dead (1990 film)

I still haven't seen The Haunting yet. But Night of the Living Dead is one of my favorite horror movies. I still remember seeing it by surprise on cable when I was a kid.

5. Dead Snow (2009)

I haven't seen Fright Night yet. And I don't like Dead Snow that much. I only remember a good scene in the forest near the end. And a pretty actress.

Thumb resize.

6. Jaws (1975)

7. Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

Damn another one I didn't expect to have to choose. But I chose Creature because it's a classic and more of a real movie.

8. Paranormal Activity (2007)

I haven't seen The Pool. First time hearing about it.

I haven't got into the Insidious series. I know I watched the first one. Perhaps reviewed it here. But I vaguely remember being disappointed by the last parts of the movie. Body Snatchers is one of those classic old school sci-fi horror movies.

2. The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Very difficult choice. My favorite Evil Dead movie is Army of Darkness. And the TV show is great. The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a horror film everyone should check out going in blank. It was recommended to me by people here. I never would have watched it.

3. Halloween (1978)

I love Japanese horror but I have to vote for the classic.

4. Hellraiser (1987)

I'm not the biggest fan of the Texas Chainsaw series. But Hellraiser is one of those must see movies.

1. Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

I really need to get into the The Exorcist series. But Halloween 3 is too much of a classic for me.

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

I'm probably one of the few that isn't crazy about the original Friday the 13th. In fact, I don't own it and prefer Part 2. That has the flashback and the beginning anyway. Elm Street actually scared me when I was a kid. It's a far better movie than Friday the 13th.

3. No Vote

I still haven't seen Dawn of the Dead. And I thought Get Out was overhyped.

4. Psycho (1960)

Classic Hitchcock. Although I haven't seen Eyes Without A Face but I want to soon.

5. Candyman (1992)

I haven't seen Candyman in a while. I'll probably do a double feature with the original and remake. But I remember not liking The Fly that much.

Wow, I'm really surprised about the popularity of Halloween 3. It's my personal Halloween favorite, so I can't complain.

Yes! In the last 6 years of so, of the many horror films on this list that I saw for the 2nd time, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) impressed me the most. I was really riveted, and had forgotten how good it was. A lot of other films seemed a bit more unstimulating... like Dr Jekyll 1931, Eyes Without a Face, Changeling.

I really need to get into the The Exorcist series. But Halloween 3 is too much of a classic for me.

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

I'm probably one of the few that isn't crazy about the original Friday the 13th. In fact, I don't own it and prefer Part 2. That has the flashback and the beginning anyway. Elm Street actually scared me when I was a kid. It's a far better movie than Friday the 13th.

3. No Vote

I still haven't seen Dawn of the Dead. And I thought Get Out was overhyped.

4. Psycho (1960)

Classic Hitchcock. Although I haven't seen Eyes Without A Face but I want to soon.

5. Candyman (1992)

I haven't seen Candyman in a while. I'll probably do a double feature with the original and remake. But I remember not liking The Fly that much.

Just making sure here... you keep mentioning "Series"... you know we're just voting on the one film specified, not the series, right? OK, just checking. ::wink::

Yeah, I'm surprised too, it was a cool film, it's personal preference, but hadn't stuck me to be quite as horrific good as Exorcist.

The popularity of a lot of these films is surprising me, like Carnival of Souls, Insidious, Autopsy of Jane Doe... that is in comparison to the films they are being compared to. I thought Carnival was cool, though I think Jacob's Ladder did the theme better. It's interesting that some of the known Evil Dead lovers are going with Carnival.

I'm a James Wan fan, and enjoyed Insidious, but personally didn't find it as wrenching as Body Snatchers. I thought Jane Doe was made well, but thought it was fairly commonplace, I mean especially compared to Evil Dead II. The visceral Candyman is a good competitor to The Fly... for me, Fly was riveting nonstop entertainment, loved it.

Of the newer films, I thought Get Out was both excellent and original. Not surprised it's making a good showing.

Round 2 Group B:

1. The Exorcist (1973)

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
A kill your darlings nostalgia choice. I'll go with Freddy this time, but could go either way.

3. Dawn of the Dead (1978)

4. Psycho (1960)

5. The Fly
Tony Todd is awesome, but I'll go with Goldblum.

Oh, it’s original all right, and excellent, but so is the shining, and I find that intolerable too. It’s not really a snub.

It's a good tournament, Sculpt. Both fun, interesting and enlightening.

Hope you make a sequel with all the movies in this tournament not being an option. ::wink::

Supposedly people are just coming around to liking Halloween 3. At least that's what I read on a few horror forums and horror sites. Because it was so different and didn't have Myers. But I thought that was the best part. I always thought it was crazy good since I originally saw it either on TV or VHS back in the day.

I was really riveted, and had forgotten how good it was. A lot of other films seemed a bit more unstimulating... like Dr Jekyll 1931, Eyes Without a Face, Changeling.

I know. I was just talking series as something I need to start getting into. Or something I don't like that much in talking about Texas Chainsaw. But I know we are talking individual movies.

Body Snatchers is awesome though. Old school horror. There is something about the older horror movies. Maybe because I grew up watching Twilight Zone and the Universal Monsters.
