Greatest Horror Movie of All Time - Round One

[swede123]

After much deliberation I finally have a list that looks pretty good. Some of the lower seeds are pretty much the sentimental, eighties movies like Friday 13th and Child's Play. However, as seeds are determined by the (stupid) masses there are a few shockers out there and some touch matchups in round one. The original Halloween vs. The Fly, ouch!

Without further ado, let's get on with our matchups:

Awesome work there, pretty much perfect listing. Brutal matchups here and there - oooowwwww!

Thanks a lot here, Swede. Done a man's job, sah!

I only voted in matchups where I had seen both. I really, really hope The Sixth Sense goes down. Not even a very good movie, let alone a good horror.

can I ask you how long time it took you to do this list, I'm a little bit curious..???

[swede123]

Well, the initial nominations thread went down last fall sometime. Then it got put on hold until a horror-buff friend of mine could weed through the first list a bit. Finally I posted that list here today and we've been banging it around a bit, coming up with the final 64. Once all that was done it was a simple matter pulling IMDB ratings for the movies to seed them, and input them in a post.

All in all, way too much time, but it's Friday so what the hell.

PEOPLE! If The Fly loses to Halloween, you will make Baby Jesus cry.

Dawn of the Dead vs. Re-Animator. Damn, Sophie's Choice! Two of the greats there.

I hope and expect The Shining, Psycho, Night of the Living Dead, and Halloween to do the best in these polls.

Night of the Living Dead vs. Suspiria was even a tough choice for me--and I think Suspiria is, well, far Susperior (groan).
