Round 1: Match 21
M
The serial killer movie that started it all. And it allowed the long stretches of silence even when Sound pictures, or "talkies" as we insiders call them, were still relatively new and people jammed sound in everywhere. It didn't just have sound in the movie. It
used sound. The whistling, the girls name being called out over and over again. And who could forget the imagery implying that first death in the movie? The empty place at the table, that balloon hitting the power lines. And there's Peter Lorre owning every scene he's in.
VS
One of the iconic anime horror movies (of which there are oddly few). It was a toss-up which I was going to put in between this and VHD: Bloodlust, but this one barely made it over the other. Great animation, and a weird face on D's hand.
