Re: Horror Tournament Round #2/Group #3

Dawn of the Dead '78 — Haven't seen either but given the choice, I'd rather see this.
Suspiria — Suspiria is great if only slightly overrated. Slightly.
The Silence of the Lambs — Not a "classic" horror movie but Hopkins dominates this movie and he has, what, 20-25 minutes of screentime?
Rosemary's Baby — Have seen neither but would prefer this one.
Let the Right One In — Much more entertaining
The Devil's Rejects — The first FD was the weakest and Rejects is the only halfway good movie Zombie has ever made.
John Carpenter's The Thing — Not much of a contest here.
Candyman — Never seen it.

You do realize you don't have to vote on every pair, right?

All my wife's votes. I would have voted for Bride of Frankenstein, though.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #2/Group #3

^Yeah I think the original Carrie is one of the best horror movies ever made. Maybe a lot of people like The Thing but I didn't think it would be winning by so much.

I had a tough choice between Psycho and Let The Right One In. Psycho the classic, obviously but I just saw LTROI and thought it was excellent. So right now I'd rather watch LTROI just to rewatch it and notice some more subtleties of it but overall I've seen Psycho a dozen times and it's never let me down.

But I have an opinion on which one I'd rather watch. If I had not heard of either movie, then I wouldn't vote.

FD wasn't classic, but I'd rather watch Ghost Dad than anything by Zombie again.

And rightfully so.

I agree. LTROI may someday replace it, but right now, it's hard to vote against or flip the channel on Psycho.
