Classic Horror Tournament
After the success of my Sequel Tournament (sure, it wasn't as big as the first, but what did you expect? It was a sequel), I've embarked on another tournament. It's called the Classic Horror Tournament. 40 films will duke it out, to see who will be crowned the King of Classic Horror. The movies span from the 1920's-1960's. I hope you enjoy the tournament. No more need for an introduction. Let's get this thing started.
Round 1, Match 1 Carnival of Souls http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...0L._SS500_.jpg VS Nosferatu http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...CL._SS500_.jpg |
Nosferatu you...............
|
Nosferatu gets the first vote.
|
carnival of souls
great tournament idea, by the way. |
Yes! Cool tournament.
If we're talking about the 1922 version, then my vote goes to Nosferatu. If we're talking about the 1979 version, which is the DVD pictured above, then my vote goes the other way. |
Nosferatu..
|
I can't vote for the Klaus Kinski version
Carnival of Souls |
Well, he specified films from the 1920s-1960s, and as the Kinski version was 79, I'm going to assume he was sloppy in chosing his graphic.
So, I vote for the original Nosferatu. If he was sloppy in chosing his films, then I vote for Carnival of Souls. |
Oh wow. If you mean the 1922 version of Nosferatu, then this is a really hard one.
Unsure of which one you intended, I'm going to go with Carnival Of Souls. |
Carnival of Souls
|
It must be The 22 version of Nosferatu, as 79 is not in the time frame specified... I'd say just the wrong poster was put up...
|
Nosferatu........
|
it's a shame that due to a bad choice of picture Nosferatu might lose, but it gets my vote.

Carnival of Souls

Nosferatu..
|
I'll just assume he meant '22 and vote Nosferatu.
|
This is tough... But Carnival of Souls scared the HELL out of me when I was younger... In the spirit of nostalgia, I have to go with the Carnival...
Regardless of the Nosferatu version (though the original is such an amazing film) |

Sorry, picked the wrong DVD cover. I meant the 1922 version.
9-7, Nosferatu (1922 version) slightly wins and moves on. Next match up shortly. |
Round 1, Match 2

Cat People, my favorite classic horror movie ever.
|
Ashamed to say, but I've never seen Cat People. So my vote is going to have to be given to The Black Cat.
|
cat people :)
|
Cat People
|
Cat People for me I suppose.
|
Cat People

Going to have to vote against the crowd and go with Black Cat. It's a truly twisted story of sadism & revenge quite shocking for its time. And one of the few times Lugosi gets the upper hand on Karloff. And the art direction is amazing.
My avatar comes from this film. |
