Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

#71 Let the Right One In
#103 Wes Craven's New Nightmare (easily)
#90 The Devil's Rejects
#74 Pet Sematary
#106 Zombi
#87 A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (easily, Cloverfield is a piece of shit. Also its not a horror movie. Its a blair witch take on Godzilla. GOdzilla 98 was the better film.)
#62 House of 1000 Corpses
#99 Ju-On
#35 Phantasm (Shaun of the Dead is not a Horror movie)

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

even though I loved Shaun I had to go with Phantasm.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

is "Zombie"...really Fulci's "Zombie 2" and not the Argento's cut of Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" (1978)?

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

n/a (Love Caligari but still haven't seen Let the Right One In)
New Nightmare (easily the best of the sequels)
Event Horizon
Carrie
Candyman
n/a
n/a (TCM III was average, House of 1,000 Corpses an embarrassment)
The Blair Witch Project
Phantasm

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Final Destination
Event Horizon
Carrie
Abstain
Cloverfield
Abstain
The Blair Witch Project
Phantasm

Really liked Phantasm because of the reactions of the characters. "Hey something funny going on, you take the 45 auto and I'll take the 12 gauge". Sensible decisions. Also that Barracuda:drool:.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

These are, again, my wife's votes. Except I, too, would have voted for Shaun of the Dead. Last year, at the Fright Night Film Fest, though, I met Angus Scrimm and he was kind enough to autograph my ticket stub. Very friendly guy.

abstain - "Let the Right One In"? HUH? Never heard of it
Final Destination
Event Horizon - easily
Carrie - tough
Zombie - easily
Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors by a million miles
Texas Chainsaw Massacre III
The Blair Witch Project, I guess
Phantasm - easily

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

Let the Right One In - Hard to vote against Cabinet, but have to admit that I'll end up watching it less.
Final Destination - Not a big Freddy fan, except for the original, and FD is a guilty pleasure favorite.
Event Horizon - By a mile.
Pet Semetary - Carrie never did much for me, maybe I need to re-watch it, as I'll admit that PS isn't great.
N/A - Haven't watched either, although Zombie just arrived via Netflix I think.
N/A - Not sure if I've seen Freddy 3. Cloverfield was alright.
N/A - Haven't seen TCM 3, but it has to be better than anything by Zombie. I hate his films.
Ju-on - Tough choice, as I really enjoy both.
Shaun of the Dead - Tough choice, as I love Phantasm and agree that SotD is not a real horror. But I like to mess with the system.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

Best movie of 2008. Talked about a lot on this forum.

I imagine you're a horror fan if you're bothering to vote here, so I recommend at least a rental.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

abstain (haven't seen Dr. Caligari)
abstain (don't care for either)
Devil's Rejects
Pet Sematary
Candyman
Dream Warriors (cheesy, but fun)
House of 1000 Corpses
Blair Witch
Phantasm (easy pic considering it's up against a comedy)

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

Only voted fro Event Horizon and Pet Semetary. Lots of stuff I haven't seen or didn't like.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

The Cabinet of Dr Caligari - Liked both but Cabinet is a classic.
New Nightmare - Both are flawed but I'll go with Freddy.
The Devil's Rejects - Brutal movie.
Carrie - Another where I really like both but Carrie beats Pet.
Zombie - No contest. Because of the producers' title, it is unfairly labelled a Dawn of the Dead ripoff. It isn't.
NOES: Dream Warriors - Cloverfield was way overrated and Dream Warriors is the second best of the Nightmare series.
TCM3 - Underrated and House just didn't quite do it for me.
Ju-on - Much scarier than boring witch project.
Phantasm - Shaun is the better movie but as far as horror goes, Phantasm gets the win.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

Let the Right One In
Final Destination - really could've gone either way.
The Devil's Rejects
Pet Sematary
Candyman
Cloverfield
TCM III
The Blair Witch Project
Phantasm - it's a classic, while Shaun is just a bad joke.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

For shame!

;)

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

Yeah I know...it's in my queue.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

If people are voting Let the Right One In over Caligari it must be an incredible film. My expectations are through the roof on this one.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

It is very well done and I was surprised at how much it moved me. I wouldn't say it's "better" than Caligari, but I know I'll watch it more often.

I think I'll watch it again right now actually, thanks for the reminder.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

Its all about re-watchability. Citizen Kane is the best movie of all time, but if I have to choose between that and Jackass on a Friday night, Jackass wins every time.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #1/Group #6
 

Let the Right One In- I've watched this multiple times since I first saw it, and can't stop showing everyone it. Caligari's good, but I can't say the same for it.
Wes Craven's New Nightmare - I love the premise of Final Destination, but the cast annoys the shit out of me. New Nightmare I loved. It's no Dream Warriors, but I really enjoyed it.
The Devil's Rejects- While Event Horizon may be WS's only watchable movie (and it is a decent thriller), it takes itself a little too seriously for the amount of cheese in it. I loooved Devil's rejects.
Pet Sematary- This was a little tough, but I can watch Pet Sematary anytime and constantly quote it. Plus, it had quite the impact on me when I was younger.
Zombie- Candyman may be a little more watchable, but I can't get over how I was a bit disappointed when I recently watched it again after not seeing it since its release. Zombie is just really sweet. A couple scenes really make it.
A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors- I really love Cloverfield, but Dream Warriors is one of my absolute favorites, as is the Nightmare series as a whole.
House of 1000 Corpses- I wasn't a huge fan of House, but I'll surely take it over TCM 3.
Ju-On- I would take nearly any movie over Blair Witch. You couldn't pay me to watch it again.
Phantasm- This is hard because I love Shaun of the Dead so much, but there's no way it could fill Phantasm's shoes. Too much nostalgia there, too.
