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.

Romero's Dawn of the Dead is 1978 i think,


To me that movie will always be Zombie cause zombi 2 is stupid sounding LOL

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

Haven't received anymore votes for Round 1 Group B, so I'm calling it here Bolded films move on:

Little surprised to see Get Out handily defeat Dr Jekyll 31, but besides the cool camerawork, Dr J had story and character weakness. Also a bit surprised with Candyman's victory of Hills Have Eyes 77... I wasn't a fan, but I know it has a lot of fans here.

The running so far for Round 1 Group C... still taking votes, or changes, SpookyEli may have a vote yet.

Lot's of close ones... Interesting to see Dream Warriors is leading The Ring. New film Sinister beating Night of the Demon! Black Christmas neck-and-neck with Phantasm. Changeling just nipping Body Snatcher 78 so far. Surprised to see Zombi 2 giving Suspiria a run for the money!

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 09:03 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 09:39 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.

9. Predator (1987)

10. The Thing (1982)
