Are we voting for the movie we want to eliminate or move on?

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 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. Can't wait to see the results... and if my predictions are right haha I wish people would post what movies they are voting for. |

I'd like to knock off a couple more of these that I havent seen (Tetsuo, Near Dark) if its possible to find them anywhere which doesnt seem to be the case. I can say definitively (as far as controversial picks go) going Day of the Dead over The Shining (overrated) and Fright Night over Evil Dead.

Do not sleep on The Thing. It came out at the same time as E.T. so it was overlooked. But it has to be seen as one of the last times special effects were used solely instead of CGI (and predecessors).
I got to see it in the theater again recently like 5 years ago.

Also, this contests rips off Phantasm (1979) with the flying spheres that burrow into peoples' skulls.  |

I can say definitively (as far as controversial picks go) going Day of the Dead over The Shining (overrated) and Fright Night over Evil Dead. You (and everyone else in this thread) should get on Arrow Player. Truly the best streaming service. Tetsuo is on there along with a ton of other Tsukamoto films. And so much good giallo and all kinds of shit |

I'd replace Killer Klowns with Return of the Living Dead for the top horror comedy of the decade.
