Nightmare on Elm Street (have not seen any of the FDTD sequels)
Predator
Tremors (have not seen any of the Ring sequels)
The Exorcist (have not seen any of the Psycho sequels)
Puppet Master (two franchises with some sequels that are great and others that are absolute ass lol)
Friday the 13th (my ringer)
George Romero's Dead (easy)
Final Destination
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Hills Have Eyes (have not seen any of The Howling sequels)
V/H/S (one of my faves, have not seen Ringu)
Blair Witch (this is tough, but I think Jaws will take it)

ABSTAINING (haven't seen either)
Alien
Evil Dead
Phantasm (the sequels are kinda ass but that first entry is one of my all-time favorites)
Return of the Living Dead (easy)

Locking this while I make a poll.

 

I thought we were gonna keep it all in one thread? I can tally myself if that's the issue

 

@Aaron Mook @OhTheWater @The Emologist @estebanwaseaten

I made it a bit easier for all of us to track. Go ahead and vote using the form.

Nice, thanks Henry. I can screenshot Round 2 after the results are in or something on Challonge for the second poll because there will be a few new entries to include.

 

I appreciate you putting it together. I didn't want to be the one to put someone's two favorite franchises head to head in the first round. hehe

 

Scream vs. Child's Play is a literal nightmare

but I'd pay to see it!

 

@Henry done, but damn you for making me choose between Blair Witch and Jaws, again.

 

sub, I'll get to this soon

 

Worst part for me is the matchups where im forced to pick the only one out of the 2 that ive seen. But thats a me problem.

 

Yeah, a lot more blind spots than I knew I had. Oh well, more to add to the watchlist.

 

Feels bad that Chucky is getting rolled.

 

Yep. Tough when you're up against Scream, but the one thing I think Chucky has on them is that not every movie has the same formula or even plot devices. They switch things up a lot and the sequels stay pretty consistently fun.

 

I’m at work so I’ll fill this out later.

tough match up for child’s play. Both are consistent franchises, but Scream is just more meaningful for myself.

 

Critters
Scream
Nightmare on Elm Street
Predator
The Ring
The Exorcist
Leprechaun
Friday the 13th
The Conjuring
Final Destination
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Hills Have Eyes
V/H/S - probably the most scared i've ever been from a horror movie
Blair Witch - Jaws is the better movie but it's not something I even consider a horror movie
Candy Man
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Alien
Evil Dead
Ju-On
Insidious
Paranormal Activity
Saw
Wishmaster
Resident Evil
Hostel

 

Is there a way to see the the current standings as more folks or can only Henry see? I'm also a dunderhead when it comes to any of these polls so forgive my ignorance.

 

I killed so many darlings in that first round, but I had to trust my gut. I’m really curious who is coming out on top!

 

I think I'd have to print a spreadsheet.

 

Oh no, not worth it. I can be patient. Excited to see the end of the first round.

 

Let's give Round 1 until tonight just because it will be easier for me to screenshot the bracket and get Round 2 to @Henry after work (unless he wants to send me the results). Would also give everyone a chance to make it in here before we move forward, so tag yr buds from the horror thread
