Re: Horror Tournament Round #2/Group #1
Matchup #1 - Halloween '78 - Not much of a contest
Matchup #2 - Nosferatu '22 - I like CP too, but Count Orlock is the man.
Matchup #3 - Evil Dead - Not even close
Matchup #4 - From Dusk Till Dawn - I blame Anne Rice for making vampires into nancyboys.
Matchup #5 - A Nightmare On Elm Street - Great flick, andnot even the best of that series.
Matchup #6 - Re-Animator - Closest one for me. It was the memory of a zombified bodyguard holding a talking severed head and headbutting it multiple times that pushed me over the edge.
Matchup #7 - Alien - CP was cool, but this is ALIEN, bitches.
Matchup #8 - Frailty - Only demons would vote against this. You're not a demon, are you?
Matchup #2 - Nosferatu '22 - I like CP too, but Count Orlock is the man.
Matchup #3 - Evil Dead - Not even close
Matchup #4 - From Dusk Till Dawn - I blame Anne Rice for making vampires into nancyboys.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #2/Group #1
Damn there are hard matchups here, and it seems like the movies I love are against eachother. 
Halloween - I love hellraiser 2 but Halloween is the slasher movie.
Nosferatu - Child's Play is fun but Nosferatu is great.
Evil Dead - American Werewolf is my favorite werewolf movie but, come on it's Evil Dead!
From Dusk Till Dawn - Not close. Interview was lame, imo.
A Nightmare on Elm Street - I love Freddy, and in this one he was actually scary and not a comedian.
Re-Animator - No way should these two have to face off so early! Especially with all the other crap still here. I reluctantly choose Re-Animator, sorry Hellraiser.
Alien - No contest.
The Descent - One of these gets to move on but Hellraiser or Re-Animator doesn't?
Halloween - I love hellraiser 2 but Halloween is the slasher movie.
Nosferatu - Child's Play is fun but Nosferatu is great.
Evil Dead - American Werewolf is my favorite werewolf movie but, come on it's Evil Dead!
From Dusk Till Dawn - Not close. Interview was lame, imo.
A Nightmare on Elm Street - I love Freddy, and in this one he was actually scary and not a comedian.
Re-Animator - No way should these two have to face off so early! Especially with all the other crap still here. I reluctantly choose Re-Animator, sorry Hellraiser
.Alien - No contest.
The Descent - One of these gets to move on but Hellraiser or Re-Animator doesn't?

Halloween - Michael Myers or Pinhead, sorry Pinhead you don't have a chance
Nosferatu - I'd rather not play w/you Chucky, Nosferatu is on
American Werewolf - if it had been Evil Dead 2 this would have been a hard decision
From Dusk - like both, but it's like voting between feeding ducks and watching an alligator feed on ducks. The alligator wins.
Elm Street - never cared for Sleepy Hollow. Who ever thought we'd have a Johnny Depp match-up in the horror tourney?
Hellraiser - tough match-up, but Pinhead can't go down twice in one round
Alien - the cat survived in Alien, but not this time
Descent - chicks in a cave or Matthew McConachleazeoys...I'm a guy
Nosferatu - I'd rather not play w/you Chucky, Nosferatu is on
American Werewolf - if it had been Evil Dead 2 this would have been a hard decision
From Dusk - like both, but it's like voting between feeding ducks and watching an alligator feed on ducks. The alligator wins.

Darn, can't vote for two of my favorite films of all time because I haven't seen any Hellraiser films. Guess I'll have to watch them someday, can't believe it's beating Re-Animator, thought that was a favorite in these parts.
