This is a tough one...I love NOES but I love F13 too....imma go with.....NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET!

nightmare on elm

Sleepaway Camp, a million times.

Nightmare on Elm Street

Sleepaway Camp, for being one of the few movies that actually creeped me out.

My Bloody Valentine

Nightmare might win this, but I'll stick with Sleepaway Camp. Still one of my favorite 80s films.

Friday The 13th...

Friday the 13th.............

Tough choice, but not too tough. Friday the 13th.

Friday the 13th

A Nightmare on Elm Street...............

It appears we have a winner! Here were the results:

Friday the 13th: 5 (hammerfan, realdealblues, tiberius, MichaelMyers, and Freak)

Prom Night: 0

My Bloody Valentine: 1 (Anthropophagus)

Sleepaway Camp: 3 (fortunato, Giganticface, and V)

A Nightmare on Elm Street: 6 (The Villain, Rela1024, Sculpt, bamahorrorfan87, roshiq, and natedog722)

Thus, A Nightmare on Elm Street is the winner for the Slasher section!

This would have been a real difficult one because these are all really good movies. I would probably have gone with A Nightmare on Elm Street because not only did it create a major movie icon and was directed by Wes Craven (my favorite horror movie director), but it was just a very unique horror film. It used the slasher formula, while taking it in a completely different direction. Also, unlike many of the other slashers (including and especially Friday the 13th, which is a series that I really enjoy too), it did not focus on body count, but on developing the characters and telling an interesting, unique story.

Sci-Fi Finals: Choose one film (to represent the best in this category). The first to five wins! (If there is a tie, I will cast tie-breaker. If no one acheives five, in a reasonable amount of time, than the one with the highest number of votes wins.)

Hate to vote against Videodrome, but I have to go with The Thing.

Tough, tough, TOUGH...

Aliens.

The Thing definitely

Agree on both counts!

It's a tough pick between Aliens and The Thing.

If it was the first Alien movie vs The Thing I might have to go the Alien route but I will have to go with The Thing in this matchup.

The Thing. Really upset about Friday the 13th losing. Recount!

Love all three,a very very hard choice.Flip a coin.....................The Thing wins..........just.

Same here, would rank Alien, The Thing, Aliens. Thing it is.

Agree completely. Alien (singular) is the winner, but since it's not in the race, I vote The Thing.

The Thing... but I love all 3 movies.

The Thing......

Aliens........

Aliens........

I don't recall, how did Alien get knocked out of the running?

I don't know that it got knocked out. This is supposed to be 80's and Alien was released in the 70's.

Ah, that's right, it was released 1979.

The Thing, though it's a very close contest for me. Both of them were incredibly intense experiences for me, but the blood test scene alone puts Thing ahead in my eyes.

We have a winner! Here were the results:

The Thing: 10 (fortunato, The Villain, realdealblues, MichaelMyers, Anthropophagus, Sculpt, Giganticface, Kandarian Demon, tiberius, and xX_StarChild_Xx)

Videodrome: 0

Aliens: 4 (V, hammerfan, natedog722, and knife_fight)

Thus, The Thing is clearly the winner!

Personally, although I loved Aliens, I would choose The Thing hands down. This film was an all-around brilliant film. Acting, direction, writing, score, messages. It was all incredible.

On another note, I sincerely apologize for taking such a long time to announce the results. I sometimes get insanely obsessed with something and neglect all other things, especially during the summer. I will try to stay on top of this thread.

Supernatural Finals: Choose one film. The first to five wins!

Poltergeist

The Shining.

All three of these are personal favourites of mine. The slight edge goes to The Shining though.

Poltergeist

That is a very strong threesome. I've gotta go with The Shining because it's probably my favorite all time horror movie (although on some days I might say The Exorcist).

The Evil Dead. A pioneer of many contemporary works today.

Besides, Kubrick's version deviated from the source material (the novel is much more terrifying) and despite a brilliant performance by Nicholson, isn't all that memorable except for a couple of scenes. King has said repeatedly that he hated this version. Personally, I give equal weightage to this and Mick Garris's made-for-TV version.
