- Four Flies On Grey Velvet
- Deep Red
- Suspiria
- Inferno
- Tenebre
- Phenomena
- Demons
- Demons 2
- Opera
- Two Evil Eyes

First Round: Match 1

Sleepless (Non Ho Sonno)

Who are you and what have you done to Matthew Chmiel?
(You'll get it later. Welcome to HTF, Rich )

 

[Matthew Chmiel]

To make the tournament work, you need two more films. Just throw in the Dario Argento written and produced films Demons and Demons 2 and you'll have yourself a tournament.
Since I have never seen Sleepless (thanks to the shmucks at Artisan), I have to abstain.

 

[Bill McA]

abstain - haven't seen Sleepless either

Bird With The Crystal Plumage - 0 Votes
Sleepless (Non Ho Sonno) - 0 Votes
So It looks as though we have a tie here, and it's all thanks to Artisan's full screen release of Sleepless. Bird With The Crystal Plumage was his first film, likely more popular, and more people have seen it so I'm advancing it to the next round because I have power.
First Round: Match 2
Cat O' Nine Tails
vs.
Phantom Of The Opera

 

[Matthew Chmiel]

Neither?
Cat O' Nine Tails

 

[Bill McA]

The Cat O'Nine Tails

 

[Lafe F]

Cat O' Nine Tails

 

[Rich Romero]

Cat O' Nine Tails - 3 Votes
Phantom Of The Opera - 0 Votes
No surpise here. Cat O' Nine Tails advances and Phantom is eliminated.
First Round: Match 3
Four Flies On Grey Velvet
vs.
The Stendhal Syndrome

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

I don't remember having seen any of these movies. So, I'll have to abstain all the way. Have fun guys!

 

[Matthew Chmiel]

Abstain as I have never seen Four Flies On Grey Velvet.

 

[Rich Romero]

Well, this tourney is just cruisin along... I doubt anyone has seen Four Flies On Grey Velvet so if possible just throw a vote in for Stendhal if ya really like it.

 

[Rain]

I've never seen an Argento film (yes, Matthew, eventually I will), but I have to say the titles are really cool.

 

[Brook K]

Of your first 6, I've only seen 2. I'll vote when I can.

 

[Rich Romero]

The Stendhal Syndrome - 0 Votes
Four Flies On Grey Velvet - 0 Votes
I'm advancing Stendhal Syndrome based on the fact nobody has seen Four Flies on Grey Velvet it seems like and Stendhal would have the better chance at winning. Anyway, on to the next match.
First Round: Match 4
Deep Red
vs.
Trauma
I'm gonna start it off with a vote for Deep Red

 

[Jay E]

Deep Red

 

[Matthew Chmiel]

Deep Red

 

[Rich Romero]

Deep Red - 3 Votes
Trauma - 0 Votes
Deep Red easily and not surprisingly defeats Trauma. Now, if only Anchor Bay would get off their lazy asses and send me a corrected copy of Deep Red I might be happy.
First Round: Match 5
Suspiria
vs.
Two Evil Eyes
I vote for Suspiria

 

[Jay E]

Suspiria

 

[Matthew Chmiel]

Suspiria
