1. Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

I really need to get into the The Exorcist series. But Halloween 3 is too much of a classic for me.

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

I'm probably one of the few that isn't crazy about the original Friday the 13th. In fact, I don't own it and prefer Part 2. That has the flashback and the beginning anyway. Elm Street actually scared me when I was a kid. It's a far better movie than Friday the 13th.

3. No Vote

I still haven't seen Dawn of the Dead. And I thought Get Out was overhyped.

4. Psycho (1960)

Classic Hitchcock. Although I haven't seen Eyes Without A Face but I want to soon.

5. Candyman (1992)

I haven't seen Candyman in a while. I'll probably do a double feature with the original and remake. But I remember not liking The Fly that much.

Wow, I'm really surprised about the popularity of Halloween 3. It's my personal Halloween favorite, so I can't complain.

1. Insidious (2010)

2. Evil Dead II (1987)

3. Halloween (1978)

4. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) (nice theme regarding both film’s creation)

5. The Evil Dead (1981)




1. The Exorcist (1973)

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

3. Dawn of the Dead (1978) (Get Out was like an over long twilight zone episode without the character development that you’d expect from the run time. Go figure.)

4. Eyes Without A Face (1959)

5. Candyman (1992)

Yes! In the last 6 years of so, of the many horror films on this list that I saw for the 2nd time, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) impressed me the most. I was really riveted, and had forgotten how good it was. A lot of other films seemed a bit more unstimulating... like Dr Jekyll 1931, Eyes Without a Face, Changeling.

Just making sure here... you keep mentioning "Series"... you know we're just voting on the one film specified, not the series, right? OK, just checking. ::wink::


Yeah, I'm surprised too, it was a cool film, it's personal preference, but hadn't stuck me to be quite as horrific good as Exorcist.

The popularity of a lot of these films is surprising me, like Carnival of Souls, Insidious, Autopsy of Jane Doe... that is in comparison to the films they are being compared to. I thought Carnival was cool, though I think Jacob's Ladder did the theme better. It's interesting that some of the known Evil Dead lovers are going with Carnival.

I'm a James Wan fan, and enjoyed Insidious, but personally didn't find it as wrenching as Body Snatchers. I thought Jane Doe was made well, but thought it was fairly commonplace, I mean especially compared to Evil Dead II. The visceral Candyman is a good competitor to The Fly... for me, Fly was riveting nonstop entertainment, loved it.


Of the newer films, I thought Get Out was both excellent and original. Not surprised it's making a good showing.

Round 2 Group B:

1. The Exorcist (1973)

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
A kill your darlings nostalgia choice. I'll go with Freddy this time, but could go either way.

3. Dawn of the Dead (1978)

4. Psycho (1960)

5. The Fly
Tony Todd is awesome, but I'll go with Goldblum.

Oh, it’s original all right, and excellent, but so is the shining, and I find that intolerable too. It’s not really a snub.

It's a good tournament, Sculpt. Both fun, interesting and enlightening.

Hope you make a sequel with all the movies in this tournament not being an option. ::wink::

Supposedly people are just coming around to liking Halloween 3. At least that's what I read on a few horror forums and horror sites. Because it was so different and didn't have Myers. But I thought that was the best part. I always thought it was crazy good since I originally saw it either on TV or VHS back in the day.

I know. I was just talking series as something I need to start getting into. Or something I don't like that much in talking about Texas Chainsaw. But I know we are talking individual movies.

Body Snatchers is awesome though. Old school horror. There is something about the older horror movies. Maybe because I grew up watching Twilight Zone and the Universal Monsters.
