6-4, The Thing leads by a slender margin over Alien in this battle of the modern sci-fi/horror masterpieces!

More votes needed to decide this dynamite match...

But .... i'm going to go with The Thing

although the effects in Alien were top notch - The Thing blew the envelope wide open with the operating room scene .. inspired mayhem the likes of which have never been repeated so effectively.

also - and no one ever mentions this : i love the fact that the movie was about a group of scruffy old men.

i love women, but they are often just t&a in horror films.
Even Sigourney was exploited for her beauty in the underwear shots.
It's the one thing almost every horror movie tries to sell itself with - sex appeal ...

This Thing is unique in this - a very ballsy approach to the genre, and a lesser film would have worked - illogically - a woman in this as a love interest.

Again - i love women, and i love strong women, and i love scantilly dressed strong women even more .... but i always admired The Thing for it's simplicity...

sort of the way i admire a comedian who manages to be hysterically funny - without being dirty.

(and i like the dirty comedians too)


i realize i probably just dug myself a hole no one else will understand - oh well.

I completely get it, and you are right.


But my vote goes to alien because it is the very first horror movie i ever saw and molded who i eventually became.

I am also going to have to go with The Thing.

Now if it was up against Aliens then it would be a different story.

There are still some twists left in this one...

11-5, The Thing scores a thumping and rather surprisingly easy win over Alien!!

2nd Semi-Final up in a moment...
