I thought this was over.

I'll go with Steve who's standout films are - The Body Snatcher, Frankenstein, Dracula, The Black Cat, Dead of Night, The Legend of Hell House & The Pit and the Pendelum

 

[Justin_S]

= Good film.
= An absolute favorite of mine!
= Bad film.
= A film I hate with a passion!


Steve Gon
Theater of Blood-
The Body Snatcher-
Frankenstein (1931)-
Dracula (1931)-
The Black Cat (1934)-
Pumpkinhead- A masterful revenge tale with one of the most badass creatures to ever hit the silver screen!
Spirits of the Dead- haven't seen.
Phenomena- A masterpiece that is neck and neck with TENEBRE as Argento's second best film!
Dead of Night (1945)- An overlooked masterpiece, and one of the best anthology films in existance!
The Legend of Hell House- Excellent film, and one of my favorite haunted house tales!
The Pit and the Pendelum (1961)- Damn good Poe adaptation, but the best is the outstanding MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (original of course).
Humanoids From the Deep- Cool little cult gem!


vs.


Dome Vongvises
The Monster Squad- A childhood favorite.
The Exorcist III- The best film in the series. Very creepy.
Last House on the Left- Very good exploitation film, but not one of Craven elite three.New Nightmare- A great return to form for the series.
Final Destination- I really enjoy this one.
Deliverance- Good film. Need to see it again.
Tales From the Hood- Underrated gem.
Audition- An utter masterpiece, and easily one of the greatest horror films of the last 20 years! Brilliant!
Madman- Good and cheesy slasher, but not quite classic material.
Terror Train- Another good slasher, one that blows JLC's other 80s slashers, the worthless Halloween II and Prom Night, away.
Friday The 13th Part 3- A series favorite.
Killer Klowns From Outer Space- Absolutely hilarious horror comedy.

Steve has four favorites, but Dome has more, so he gets my vote.

Waxwork - :star:

vs.

ErikG

Dead Alive - :star:
Interview with the Vampire -
The Stepfather -
The Brood - :star:
Christine -
Misery -

A tie! Well, Justin has one of the lesser Cronenberg's, while Erik has his best. OTOH, Justin has one of the best King adaptations, Erik one of the worst and a good one.

Justin, because he doesn't have Christine...

No love for Christine?! It's one of Carpenter's best films, IMO.

Also, Steve and Dome's match still needs a tie-breaking vote:

Pumpkinhead
Spirits of the Dead
Phenomena

Someone? Anyone?!

 

[Andy Olivera]

If you don't succeed in finding a tiebreaker, you can change my abstain to a vote for Steve.


It's been a long time since I saw it and the only thing I remember about it is how disappointed I was, being such a big fan of Carpenter and King. The story just doesn't strike me as movie material. It may work on the page, but on screen it's not scary in any way...

 

[ErikG]

Steve advances, thanks Andy.

ErikG advances also...
