The Vampire Films Tournament
 

Here we go - the answer to all of your PMs throughout the past week or so.

Since we never had a proper tourney for this particular sub-genre (bwind22 did a short one 7 years ago), let's see if we can find the one absolute gem which rules all the vampire films made till now.

The tournament is divided into two parts - a Qualifying Round and subsequent rounds. I shortlisted about 200 films, based on overall ranking and votes cast in IMDB, then pruned it further to 161 for tourney purposes.

61 top-class favorites sit pretty to start their challenge from Round 1 onwards, while 100 films are bunched in the Qualifiers stage, out of which 20 will join the first 61 to do battle from the next stage.

And I know at least 3 people who are going to be very happy reading this. You know who you are.

We will start with the Qualifying Round shortly.

Let the anticipation start rolling...

Awesome!!!!!!

Great! This is going to be fun!

I thought you were captured? ;)

In the BR, yes.

In the tourneys, if only they would let me retire in peace. :p

my choice:

HABIT

Tales from The Crypt presents: Bordello of Blood.

Vampire Hunter D pour moi ,sil vous plait.

Awesome!!!

Planet of the Vampires!!!!!

Planet of the vampires for me

Same......

Vampire Hunter D, I haven't seen the others but they look like they would suck.

I'll go with Bordello Of Blood

Bordello of Blood. Only because it's the only one I've seen and has Angie Everhart and Erika Eleniak. But make no mistake the movie sucks. I barely remember it.

Bordello of Blood

Ditto, although I really liked Habit as well. Great tourney!

Planet of the Vampires, for sure.

Planet of the Vampires - 6 (Chronogrl, The Villain, Straker, roshiq, Weapon X, fortunato)
Bordello of Blood - 4 (MichaelMyers, realdealblues, ImmortalSlasher, hammerfan)
Vampire Hunter D - 2 (Dara, Disease)
Habit - 1 (Zero)
The Moth Diaries - 0


Planet of the Vampires wins, and qualifies.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

Spanish DRACULA !

Ditto

Why is a Twilight movie in there?!?!?!?!

Dracula espanol.

Subspecies, V.

Subspecies....

I know is it possible to allocate negative votes?! :D

Subspecies

Same for me.

I can't let Mad Monster Party go without a vote.

For me as well.

Indeed. I am questioning that as well. As it is a vampire film tourney...:rolleyes:


And chuck rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes at it, if possible.


------------------


Dracula - 5 (Zero, The Villain, Chronogrl, realdealblues, Weapon X)
Subspecies - 3 (MichaelMyers, Straker, hammerfan)
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - 1 (Sentinel65)
Mad Monster Party - 1 (Newb)
The Twilight saga: Eclipse - 0

Dracula wins, and qualifies.

Jess Franco's Dracula

Count Dracula

Count Dracula...but I have to admit I haven't seen Vampire Effect or Rise.

Count Dracula

Count Dracula.

Three really good vampire flicks in this round, I'm kinda surprised Franco's Dracula has beaten out the competition so easily this round. Lemora is quality and Vampyres is a classic....

Neither Lemora or Vampyres deserve no votes and since Count Dracula has already won I'm voting for both. :p
