Halloween - all time favorite
Alien
The Shining
Seven
Silence of the Lambs
The Thing - hard choice
Jaws
The Exorcist


Very hard choices as I love most of those films

Re: Horror Tournament Round #4/FINAL 16
 

Halloween
Alien
Dawn of the Dead

The rest of the matchups I either haven't seen both movies, or don't prefer one over the other enough to vote.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #4/FINAL 16
 

Halloween '78 (No contest, even though Evil Dead is a lot of fun.)
Alien (One of the great movies of all time, period. Should be no contest but apparently it is.)
Night of the Living Dead '68 (Toughest choice on here, both are among the greatest movies, but I had to go with this one because it has been so enormously influential.)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre '74 (Another tough choice, but I went with the most influential one again.)
The Silence of the Lambs (Dawn of the Dead is great, but we already went there with NotLD.)
Psycho: Original (The only NO CONTEST on this list.)
Jaws (Because it's Jaws. Plus, Alien is a much better film than Aliens, good as it is.)
The Exorcist (How can you not vote for that one? It would be a more difficult choice if it was up against Bride of Frankenstein, which is a far superior film to Frankenstein.)

Nice final 16, I love or really like ALL of these movies.

Matchup #1
Evil Dead - Sorry Halloween, but The Shemps > The Shape

Matchup #2
A Nightmare on Elm Street - Really close.

Matchup #3
Night of the Living Dead '68 - The grandaddy of zombie flicks!

Se7en

Matchup #5
Dawn of the Dead '78 - ARGH! Toughest choice!

Matchup #6
John Carpenter's The Thing - Does Norman Bates' stomach open and bite off a dude's hands? No? Didn't think so.

Matchup #7
Jaws

Matchup #8
The Exorcist

Re: Horror Tournament Round #4/FINAL 16

Re: Horror Tournament Round #4/FINAL 16
 

Halloween - Love both but this is the obvious choice.
Alien - Sorry Freddy, you can't compete here.
NOTLD - Sooooo tough. I might pick this today but The Shining tomorrow.
TCM - No contest.
Dawn - Sorr Hannibal.
The Thing - Ugh hated choosing between these.
Jaws - Easy choice.
The Exorcist - Sorry Boris.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #4/FINAL 16
 

The Evil Dead
Don't like either one
The Shining (NOTLD is great, but The Shining is in my top ten)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Fuck David Fincher)
The Silence of the Lambs (This one was so close that I almost didn't vote, but in the end I went with Hannibal the Cannibal)
Psycho (Incredibly easy choice)
Jaws (Another very easy choice)
Frankenstein (Another very easy choice)

Re: Horror Tournament Round #4/FINAL 16
 

I for one far prefer the original which is a pure horror film over it's sequel which is goofy as hell.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #4/FINAL 16
 

Halloween
A Nightmare on Elm Street - very tough
The Shining, easily
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Dawn of the Dead - no contest
The Thing
Jaws
Frankenstein - no contest

Re: Horror Tournament Round #4/FINAL 16
 

The choices are getting tougher as we near the home stretch...

Halloween
Alien
Night of the Living Dead
TCM
Silence of the Lambs
Psycho
Jaws
Exorcist

Re: Horror Tournament Round #4/FINAL 16
 

#1 - Halloween, although Evil Dead would make my top ten.
#2 - Alien easily over Nightmare on Elm Street.
#3 - Very tough call, but today I'll pick Night of the Living Dead over The Shining.
#4 - Don't care at all for Texas Chainsaw Massacre, so Se7en.
#5 - Abstain. Imagine it would end up being Silence of the Lambs, but don't think I've seen Dawn of the Dead.
#6 - Another tough choice, but The Thing gets watched a lot more than Psycho in this house.
#7 - Love Aliens, but don't think of it as a horror, more an action or buddy war flick. But in any case, Jaws is probably my favorite film of all-time.
#8 - Both would be top ten, but today I'll go Frankenstein over The Exorcist.

Re: Horror Tournament Round #4/FINAL 16
 

Psycho: Original--John Carpenter's The Thing (there is no-way I could pick one over the other I just can't do it).

I fucking love these movies to much! and I wonder what happen to Rob Bottin?
