ChatGPT predicts only one minor upset. Had to force it to count the “quoted” ballots. Definitely a margin for error though because there is nothing uniform about this.

1. The Exorcist
3. A Nightmare on Elm Street
still going with the original

1. The Shining
3. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
honestly not a big fan of these, but The Shining is more iconic

1. Halloween
2. Alien
Tough choice here. Halloween is the best of the slasher genre, and that does merit a look. But Alien was just damn scary, especially the first time around

1. Jaws
2. The Thing
Another tough choice; Jaws is an excellent movie, but I'm not sure I'd put it in as horror. At least, not in the same category as some of the others. The Thing was genuinely creepy.

A Nightmare on Elm St is MUCH better than Exorcist.

That’s my only vote.

Agree to disagree on this one.

There are lots of good movies, and lots of scary ones. Some are both. I'm old enough to have seen Jaws as a kid in the theater when it came out, I've seen a number of these.

The Exorcist disturbs me, to this day. None of the rest on this list do. That's not to say they aren't good, but most you can either dismiss, or there's a plot point that reveals a weakness to the threat, a way for the protagonist to overcome.

Based on the final 8 I think it should be The Exorcist vs The Shining.

However the seeding may screw that up.
