 Round 1 voting here: forms.gle/VWoA3ayBLpidFp2v6If there is a tie I'll make the deciding vote (I won't vote otherwise.) I'll cap this around Friday at midnight :-) Making a 32 movie bracket out of all the options was much harder this time than with the action choices. There are like 50+ movies that didn't make the cut that could easily be there. I tried my best to please everybody (sorry @dr strangelove for not including those great suggestions) <3 |

For action movies. The final round of voting ended a month ago. Seemed long enough to do it again (with horror movies this time.) A few people wanted it during October (the month of horror) |

I'm gonna try and plug in some gaps before I vote but realistically some of them wont be manageable. For example, after searching for Phenomena on tubi, the second search result is something called Addicted to Sexting. I think I may have to carve out the rest of the week to properly analyze this movie.

Realistically 'Phenomena' has no chance to beat 'The Thing' but I pushed it into the bracket because it's an awesome movie that is worth everybody's time :) |

After the They Live upset I’m watching this closely I tried to be impartial when making this bracket... there are ten movies included that I don't think should be there (but are very popular and will probably win some rounds) |

I’ve only seen a few of these so I’m bowing out this time, but big respect to Thezmond.

Got my votes in!! Here's a little commentary because why the hell not... would love to know what everyone voted for. The Shining over Day of the Dead
Actually not a big fan of either.
—my prediction: The Shining wins
Re-Animator over Little Shops of Horror
Blasphemy perhaps
—my prediction: Re-Animator wins
Halloween III over Videodrome
Talk about blasphemous, I love both for different reasons. Videodrome is obviously the better movie, but I watch HIII more regularly and can’t do my men Tommy Lee Wallace and Tom Atkins dirty.
—my prediction: Videodrome wins
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 over Gremlins
Welcome to primetime bitch
—my prediction: ANOES 3 wins
Prince of Darkness over Possession
I haven’t seen Possession so my apinion here is worthless, I’m sure it’s great and need to see it soon.
—my prediction: Possession wins
The Lost Boys over Christine
Sorry JC but it’s the motherfucking Lost Boyz
—my prediction The Lost Boys wins
Sleepaway Camp over Poltergeist
One of my favorite horror movies of the 80s. Going up against Poltergeist is rough. If SC wins I will be beyond delighted and probably go on a raving rant.
—my prediction: Poltergeist wins
Fright Night over Evil Dead
This one tore me apart. I’m having a hard time moving on. I initially chose Evil Dead, but came back and changed my vote after giving Evil Dead 2 my vote…
My prediction: Evil Dead wins
The Thing over Phenomena
This one was pretty easy, I think The Thing will make it to the final.
—my prediction: The Thing wins
Tetsuo over Child’s Play
Shamefully have never seen Tetsuo so I gave it my vote.
—my prediction: Child’s Play wins
Friday the 13th over Scanners
I’m a slasher nut and F13th is the cream of the crop.
—my prediction: Scanners wins
Evil Dead 2 over Pet Sematary
Maybe the easiest choice so far
—my prediction: Evil Dead 2 wins
Near Dark over A Nightmare on Elm Street
Another extremely difficult decision. I gave the edge to Near Dark since I voted for Dream Warriors earlier.
—my prediction: A Nightmare on Elm Street wins
An American Werewolf In London over Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Even though I love the Klowns I couldn’t vote for them here.
—my prediction An American Werewolf in London wins
The Fog over Hellraiser
Probably my favorite horror movie of the 80s, I dearly hope it makes it to the next round. Watched it again last night and it’s my definition of cozy horror, incredible atmosphere.
—my prediction: Hellraiser wins
The Fly over Dressed to Kill
Yeah
—my prediction: The Fly wins |

Man, some of these were tough!
It hurts a LOT to have to vote against Day of The Dead, but cmon... The shining! Scanners vs. Friday the Thirteenth was another tough one for me. As was Halloween III vs. Videodrome

Yeah
—my prediction: The Fly wins Love this analysis. Most of the matchups are lopsided but the closest right now is Gremlins VS ANOE3... I won't say which is winning but it's a 48.9/51.1 split. |
