1980

This one was a little easier ::big grin::

1980 for the tie breaker.

This one was MERCILESS. The start of my favorite slasher vs my second favorite classic Monster movie that's just cold blooded! 1980 does have Motel Hell too, that had some epic cannibal lines... UGH but 1933 also has Murders in the Zoo.

Okay time to look at my first two favorites again: Jason may be my favorite slasher, but he wasn't actually IN the first movie, but that plot twist is what made the ending so good. But at the same time a little old lady killed a bunch of fit young men?? And The Invisible man was so freaking awesome that I MAY actually like it more than Wolf Man... It had a good story, it was FUNNY, had beautiful dialogue, and who doesn't love Claude Rains!?

Ok, I surrender to 1933. Claude won me over.

Same here.

The vintage heavyweight scores a surprise win over a huge 80s favorite!
