Your vote probably would have gotten Cujo and Phantasm in. They both came up just short. Actually surprised that Jeepers Creepers and Gremlins didn't get more love.

I nominated Jeepers Creepers and was surprised it didn’t make it.

there is a few movies that are more Monster movies than Horror. Tremors would be one. But still a great all time movie.

Too many really good movies facing off in round one. These should be squaring off in round two or three not one:

4. The Ring
13. Frailty

I had to go Ring but Frailty is so damn good.

5. Silence of the lambs
12. Rosemary's Baby

Has to be Silence but let Rosemary knock out Saw or Scream or something first.

Elite 8
1 The Exorcist
2 Psycho

1 The Shining
10 Sinister (cinderella)

1 Jaws
2 The Thing (Scream is my favorite film of all time, so this hurts. But The Thing is better horror movie)

1 Halloween
3 Hereditary (upsets Alien)

Final 4
1 The Exorcist
1 The Shining
2 The Thing
1 Halloween

The Exoricst defeats Halloween for the national championship!

I think that Final 4 of The Exorcist, The Shining, The Thing, and Halloween is about as solid as you get for a Final 4. You cover main 4 bases of horror- religous horror, psychological horror, sci-fi horror, and slasher horror.

Huge response. 121 voters just with the online poll. Hopefully people aren't voting more than once.

shite, I totally forgot about that one

I would've nominated it just for nostalgia but likely would have taken it down in the 1st round.

I might start totaling up tomorrow but don't think I'll have time to post the second round. Might be better just to wait until Monday because it's dead on this board on the weekends.

Horror movie brackets always tough, because the top tier is just so strong. Jaws, Exorcist, Halloween. You have the best monster movie, the best supernatural movie and the best slasher film. And it's tough to beat any of those. Not many of these should come close.

When push comes to shove they will just beat everything. Shining is vulnerable the most but that doesn't mean much.

Kill List didn't even make the tournament and the Wailing may not make round 2.



Jesus Christ, Hereditary may not even make it out of round 1 against the Creature from the Black Lagoon
