Voted at the link. I’m 31 so my votes skewed newer other than the serious classics.

The vvitch vs Strangers was brutal for me. Those are probably both in my top 10 all time

I always thought of Tremors as more of a comedy.
Creature from the black lagoon should definitely be higher than a 14 seed.
The thing going up against Dawn of Dead in round one is pretty shitty.

In your link Event Horizon is listed for a second time in question 28 vs Oculus. I think that should be The Omen

Should Hereditary be a 3 seed? Who nominated that? Is this tournament sponsored by A24?

Where's House of 1000 Corpses? I think that's a bit scarier than Ready or Not.

I've never seen it but surprised it didn't get more support because I know it's popular. I think it only got one vote.

Child's Play and the original IT not getting in also surprised me.

Thanks a freaking lot...this thread reminded me that I've never shown my kids Fright Night or An American Werewolf in London. Now, I have to correct both of those...Damnit!!!

Might run into a buzzsaw in round two if it makes it out of round one. Halloween is a tough potential matchup.

A few I was hoping might make Cinderella runs are #10 The Strangers. But it potentially faces Psycho in the second round and I'd prefer Psycho move on. Wish Strangers would have gotten a different draw.

#12 Saw I think could maybe make a run. Though I say that and it'll probably get eliminated in round one. I feel like it's a good bit more popular than a #12 seed.

Would love for The Birds to make a run but it would have to face Aliens in the second round and 1960's and earlier movies have a harder time in these tournaments simply because not as many people have watched them.
