Deniro's only good horror film was Cape Fear & that was more along the lines of suspense/thriller anyways....

Ken Foree, on the other hand, is the muthafuckin' MAN when it comes to horror!


Ken Foree all the way!

Ken Foree, I'm sorri Mr De Niro....

cactus 08-05-2007 09:27 AM

Overall, it would be De Niro...but since it's a Horror tourney...

Ken Foree!

Doc Faustus 08-05-2007 09:33 AM

Since it is screen badass based, and since the Man with No Name series could win Franchise tournament, I will say De Niro. Taxi Driver does examine punk ethics and explore a man becoming unhinged. Taxi Driver is not just AFI material, but also a violent cult classic.

Ken Foree!

Rod nailed it. Remember, you have to judge the star on the basis of their contribution to the horror genre and its popularity, NOT their overall careers. Ken could never beat Bob DeNiro in an Actor's Tournament, but in a Horror Actor tournament, things are very different.


Ken Foree puts his stamp over Robert DeNiro and runs to a big 14-5 win!!

next match up shortly...

So we're not entitled to our own opinions? If you already know what the "right" answers are, why bother having the tournament?

I believe he's just trying to say it should be chosen based on their contributions to horror films and not their entire careers, not saying which candidates you should vote for, but everyone has their opinion and can vote for who they want.

Gee whiz, never...did I say that? Of course you are entitled to your opinion and judgement.

I was pointing out that this is a Horror Stars tournament for those who feel confused about who to vote for, and what should be the criteria for it...since I got some PMs asking me for the same.

Feel free to vote for anyone you feel deserves your vote...you are not bound for anything or anybody.

neverending 08-06-2007 10:14 PM

Okay ... sorry.

It just seemed in that instance you were saying that in a horror tournament the obvious choice was Ken Fouree.

But moving on...

Shazbut 08-06-2007 11:14 PM

Sam Neill - he is far more familiar to me as far as horror goes.

And the fact he is in "In the Mouth of Madness" and "The Omen" and that terrible film called the "Event Horizon" (sorry ___V___ :o )
