It's final four time baby! This board is obsessed with chalk, because for the first time ever in our 10+ years of doing tournaments, we've never had the final four be all four #1 seeds.

Elite Eight recap:

- #1 The Exorcist vs #3 Nightmare on Elm Street was a blowout. Nightmare called it quits halfway through once they were down 40-5. It was ugly, and not a respectable showing from Nightmare.
- #1 The Shining defeats #3 Texas Chainsaw massacre 65-49. Shining took an early lead and every time TCM tried to claw back in it Shining would make a run.
- #1 Halloween beat #2 Alien in a close 62-53 victory. Halloween took an early lead that was just too tough for Alien to come back from.
- Our closest matchup was #1 Jaws vs #2 The Thing. The Thing looked like it was going to cruise to victory after being up by 8 points about halfway through and even up 5 late in the game. But then Jaws showed why it was a #1 seed and made a big comeback to win 59-55.

The Elite 8 had almost 100 votes fewer than the online poll itself had in the previous rounds. Tells me that we probably had some voting quite a few times online despite asking not to. Probably have to do away with the poll and go back to our old school ways next tournament. But we press on!...

Friendly reminder I did not determine the seeding, you did.
Round of 64
Round of 32

This whole tournament is now a sham and I refuse to vote in the final four or championship.

I wonder if people who nominated NoES actually meant the first one or if they were just referring to the franchise generally (I believe I nominated NoES 3 specifically).

Jaws, and Halloween is a tough one, because Jaws is the better movie, but I don’t only consider it a Horror flick. As opposed to Halloween where you have a masked mad man running around town, stalking people, hunting them down, and killing them. Vote goes to the better movie in Jaws, and me remembering it does still have the Horror elements.
