A new record number of votes in this tough round...
I feel like some of these could have been the final vote, like Halloween Vs Psycho, and particularly Evil Dead II Vs Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), where ED2 takes the last 3 votes to win a nail biter. Adding the votes, I thought Candyman was going to take Texas Chainsaw, but TCM sweeps the last 4 votes... it's good to have these big votes from a wide variety of Horror aficionados. Elm St takes out perennial favorite Dawn of the Dead. Wouldn't have been shocked if Evil Dead nipped Exorcist, but the masterpiece still haunts.
You all leave me the impossible decision between Halloween and Psycho... two of my favs that are tied 6 to 6. I think Halloween has many fantastically visceral moments especially with sound and music, but I think Psycho is much more precise consistently throughout the film, punctuated with an all-time memorable ending. I vote Psycho.
