It appears we have a winner! Here were the results (note: I am aware that Werewolf received five votes first, but it was technically tied with Fright Night and, as I said, I prefer one to have more votes than the other):
An American Werewolf in London: 6 (The Villain, knife_fight, Giganticface, MichaelMyers, Anthropophagus, and V)
Fright Night: 7 (xX_StarChild_Xx, Sculpt, natedog722, Greenskeeper, realdealblue, bamahorrorfan87, and tiberius)
The Lost Boys: 1 (hammerfan)
Thus, after a really close round Fright Night came out the winner (without me having to cast a vote, although it was very close)!
If I would have voted, I would have gone with Fright Night. I thought the film was relatively brilliant. It had a really interesting, unique plot and the acting was pretty good. I also thought it was really funny, while still being clearly a horror movie. I especially liked how it parodied the classic days of horror (for example Peter Vincent, a combination of Vincent Price and Peter Cushing-two of the biggest horror stars of their day), while bashing the very popular slashers. I just want to note, that I consider horror comedies as horror the same as regular horror movies. I have never seen The Lost boys and for American Werewolf it is really good and like Fright Night it has comedic elements, while still being serious (I just believe that Fright Night did it more effectively).
