* The OAO Greatest Horror Movie Tourney *

Recommended Posts

Here we go...broken down into 4 regions.

 

Rules:

 

1) First round voting ENDS on Thurs. Aug 4 at 10 AM.

2) Most votes wins a round.

3) In the case of a TIE, both movies will advance, making the next round a three-way vote. I find giving a movie a "BYE" to be silly.

Seriously, good tournament. I'm hoping for Evil Dead II.

 

It;s funny that the cult Cemetary Man which battled 'Dawn' wasn't on this list. It's a cult favourite. If I've learned anything from these threads, I HAVE to se Demons.

 

Honestly, the love for Return of the living Dead is excellent. Tar Zombie + perfect titties= $$$$$

Ok, I demand a recount on Cabin Fever beating Suspiria. As much as I love Cabin Fever, it's nowhere as good as Suspiria.

Wow, sorry about the F13 4 error...if you guys wouldn't mind, I'll fix it, and you can re-vote.

 

The original movie in its place, IN REGION C, was A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors. Sorry for the mix-up.

By my calculations, Nightmare on Elm Street 3 is the missing entry, in which case my vote for near dark still stands.

Hills and Last House are both great, and I've been lucky enough to catch both in the theatre at local horror showings, but both fall into a debate. One group of horror fans would likely kill the other group who says they aren't "horror pictures", and the other would be pissed for them being included. Personally, I find them both as being perfect for the horror genre, and tough to classify as anything else, but they're not horror movies. Last House and Hills both deal with families fighting insane groups of people. I would personally classify them as Suspense Thrillers, or something similar, but I have absolutely no problem with fans who consider them horror pictures.

 

By the way, here is a site you guys might wanna browse around.

 

www.exhumedfilms.com

 

It's the website of the previously mentioned local horror shows in the tri-state area, who air 3-5 movies at a time on Saturday nights, usually around 1030 pm to midnight.

 

Check out the "previous screenings", go all the way to the bottom, and scroll up to check out some of then awesome things they have done. They even show 5-8 trailers of great flicks before each film.

Last House and Hills would both be considered along the lines of Horror Exploitation. At least that's the way most I know have considered them.

 

By the way, it's a shame that Opera didn't make this list......

I think it's a shame that "Audition" didn't make the list.The girl in that movie is scarier than Freddy and Jason combined. One of the reasons that "Audition" disturbs people so much is because of it's role reversal. Instead of a girl being hunted and tortured, it's a man, who is tortured by a sexually repulsive psychopath of a woman who likes to make her victims eat her vomit, as well as torture and mutilate them. That's why it's so scary, because unlike "The Grudge", the events in "Audition" could really happen to someone.

The Haunting vs. Child's Play is much closer than it should be.

 

It's a fucking doll vs. argurably the greatest haunted house movie, for dark lord sake.

jm29195, could you be clearer with two of the votes who you picked? They didn't bold.

 

I'm going to close the first round TOMORROW at 10 AM, a day early, since I think Friday may be a little long.
