I hate to nit-pick (but I'm going to), but there's no film titled "Frankenstein versus the Wolfman".

Pretty much following what the other have voted except the last one.

Halloween
Jaws
The Thing
Frankenstein meets the Wolfman


That last one is a killer,i found that incredible hard to vote for but the old Franky/Wolf matchup just nicked it for me but a very hard call.

This is my vote as well.

Halloween
F13 Part 3
Halloween II
Frankenstein vs. Wolfman

Excellent observation, hammerfan. It's really Frankenstein meets the Wolfman. I knew there was a reason we have you around here. ::love::I'll fix that.

Halloween
Jaws
The Thing
Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Halloween, Jaws, The Thing, Texas Chainsaw Massacre move on.

Round 1 b:

The Exorcist (1973)............... Vs Underworld
Night of the Living Dead (1968) Vs Halloween H20
Poltergeist (1982)................. Vs Taste the Blood of Dracula
The Shining.......................... Vs The Wicker Man (1973)

Underworld
NOTLD
Poltergeist
The Wicker Man

Exorcist
NOTLD
Blood of Dracula
Shinning

Underworld over Exorcist? I didn't expect that from you, Repo. Then again you wouldn't expect my pick either most likely.

The Exorcist
Night of the Living Dead
Taste the Blood of Dracula
The Wicker Man

Oh, the saga of me and the Exorcist. It's not the movies fault. By the time I saw the film, I had seen so many parodies and satirical bits based on the Exorcist that it made the whole film more humor to me than horror. Try as I may through the years, and with a couple attempts to rewatch, the movie never gets beyond the realm of comedy for me. Like I said, it's not the movie so much as the timing. Not to mention, I do like Underworld quite a bit.

My toughest choice on this one was definitely Taste the Blood of Dracula vs Poltergeist. Two movies I love madly.

whats with all the votes for wicker man over shining? lol

The Exorcist (1973)
Night of the Living Dead
Poltergeist
The Shining

We have real battle brewing! Will "The Shining" & "Poltergeist" suffer a shocking 1st Round knockout?

Keep the votes coming!! (generally, first to 5 votes wins, but majority wins with votes still pouring in).

Same for me, please

Damn that sucks. I know the feel though. After I grew up and realized how over sexed the werewolves in Underworld are, they quickly dropped several pegs on my list of favorite lycan films. Exorcist on the other hand was all around perfect, and I hold fond memories of it.

(sorry to spam, i want to participate in the voting but i haven't seen many of the choices so i don't think it's fair to do so)

I suggest you get to it then and stop wasting your time on here.

Psycho
Dawn of the Dead
The Howling
Phantasm

Vote! If you don't know a movie, maybe u would recognize the director as one you like, or an actress or actor you are a fan of. Vote!

I agree with Repo. I vote even if I haven't seen all of the movies.

I'd love you to vote whenever you come upon two films competing against each other where you have seen both.

Personally, and as host, unlike super crazy lemonheaded Repod, I wouldnt recommend voting for a film just because there's an actor you like in it. But there might be cases where you know both films, without necessarily having seen every single minute of both, in those cases, use your best judgment. ::cool::

Psycho showers Chucky by 8. Dawn blows the head off Interview by 4. Howling gives May a piece of it's mind by 4.

I would give Phantasm my vote if it would tie Friday the 13th, but that would only make it trail by 1... so Jason's Mom has her revenge today.


ROUND 1 d:

Alien ............................... Vs ..The Conjuring
American Werewolf in London Vs ..Horror of Dracula
The Evil Dead (1981)........... Vs ..30 Days of Night
Jacob's Ladder.................... Vs ..Blade

Alien
American Werewolf
Evil Dead
Blade

Oh...my. Didn't mean to overstep my bounds there, host.

LOL! That's OK my lovely Repo'd! Kurt Russel is still lovin' on you. I'm glad you're encouraging folks to participate. We in HDC also take pride in producing very high quality fan compilations. We do in fact have experts in horror film here.
