It appears we have a winner! Here were the results:

Friday the 13th: 5 (hammerfan, realdealblues, tiberius, MichaelMyers, and Freak)

Prom Night: 0

My Bloody Valentine: 1 (Anthropophagus)

Sleepaway Camp: 3 (fortunato, Giganticface, and V)

A Nightmare on Elm Street: 6 (The Villain, Rela1024, Sculpt, bamahorrorfan87, roshiq, and natedog722)

Thus, A Nightmare on Elm Street is the winner for the Slasher section!

This would have been a real difficult one because these are all really good movies. I would probably have gone with A Nightmare on Elm Street because not only did it create a major movie icon and was directed by Wes Craven (my favorite horror movie director), but it was just a very unique horror film. It used the slasher formula, while taking it in a completely different direction. Also, unlike many of the other slashers (including and especially Friday the 13th, which is a series that I really enjoy too), it did not focus on body count, but on developing the characters and telling an interesting, unique story.

Sci-Fi Finals: Choose one film (to represent the best in this category). The first to five wins! (If there is a tie, I will cast tie-breaker. If no one acheives five, in a reasonable amount of time, than the one with the highest number of votes wins.)

Hate to vote against Videodrome, but I have to go with The Thing.

Agree on both counts!

It's a tough pick between Aliens and The Thing.

If it was the first Alien movie vs The Thing I might have to go the Alien route but I will have to go with The Thing in this matchup.
