Thats ok, bw. We are allowed to have a bit of healthy debate in a tournament thread anyway.:)

But, like Alky said, ED and ED II can be classified as great horror, while AoD, Bubba and Maniac Cop...while being complete entertainers...CANT be hailed as great horror movies (yet). Maybe in 20-30 years time they eventually might reach that status...

But looking down the resume of either Vincent Price or Boris Karloff...these were the two who MADE the genre what it is today...the iconic status of horror as a separate and respected genre wasnt made overnight...but through years of classic and awesome performances on-screen by some of the most talented stars to have ever come out...

I am sure Bruce himself would agree with me here, and take a bow.;) (Although he would be surprised too at being beaten by Jack in this tourney)




This was one of the best Finals ever in a tournament, and it ran REAL close...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

by beating the incomparable Vincent Price by a margin of 10 votes to 9 in the closest Final match yet seen in a tournament...

The winner, and the undisputed KING OF THE HORROR STARS...




BORIS KARLOFF






2nd Final coming up in a min...
