    I'm gonna go with Pennywise, a geniunely more terrifying appearence. I think for me and a lot of people who grew up in my generation and seen IT at an early age became a little unsettled going to the circus afterwards.

    Freddys always been a bit meh, in the way his realm in the dreamworld. The fact that pennywise targeted children made him more scary too, and Tim Curry, the make-up job is just mindblowing. To have that impact with one film as opposed to an endless elm street series.

    Do I take into account the alien spider end?

    anyway, Pennywise, he made clowns scary.

    It's entirely up to you, but since that is his true form it is relevant.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    Van Helsing
    Well the end was the worst part of that film tbh, up until that point it was gold. but i dont think the alien spider sleeps, so freddy couldnt do much to him i think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,291 ✭✭✭Junco Partner


    pennywise FTW

    he pretty much started a whole phobia by himself.

    where as how many people are afraid of burn victims?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    2-0 To Pennywise

    Dracula from Van Helsing
    Pennywise. Scared the bejaysus out of me, still not too keen on clowns (or mimes.) Watched it again recently, and the child killer/paedo theme still runs strong and tugs at peoples fears and phobias.

    Freddie evolved into a dull parody of himself, a rather comical "antihero."

    However, Nightmare on Elm Street did a more memorable line. "Whatever you do, DON'T FALL ASLEEP!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Pennywise running away with this.

    3-0

    Would have to go with the infected from 28 Days Later, simply because they are simply more quicker and more feral. Indeed, I think it would be a whitewash, one group is running on pure rage and the other is sluggish.

    Dracula from Van Helsing
    28 Days Later type

    Speed: They can run.
    Infection time: 30 seconds. They don't die first, then rise.
    Infection ease: Any bodily fluid transmitted into open cut, orrifice, or cavity.

    Resident Evil

    Speed: Walking speed, fast shuffle.
    Infection time: Depending on method, but victims have to die first. Then rise. Anywhere from 5 minutes to 3 days.
    Infection ease: Have to be bitten/Infected with G or T virus.

    For me, on paper, 28 Days Later has it. However, in my heart, Resident Evil one scare the pants of me. They were the first contact I had with zombies. Who can forget the moment, in the Mansion, when you first come across a guy bent over a body, and when he rises and turns. Your reaction is "OMG!!11!one!! A zombie! I've only got a knife! Fecking leg it!"

    Conclusion:
    Resident Evil.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,291 ✭✭✭Junco Partner


    the resident evil romero style zombies will always be in my heart but the rage zombies have it on speed they'd just rip through the resident evil zombies before they could do anything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    2 -1 to 28 days later.

    I remember playing RE and genuinely being afraid when I could hear the groans and not see them.

    28 days later was a world I didn't want to live in either.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,281 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    The Fog
    If this is a fight between the 28 Days Later 'zombies' and the Resident Evil zombies, then i'd have to go for the Resident Evil zombies. They are dead afterall, and can take a hell of a lot more punishment then the rage infected ones from 28 Days Later. They will die like regular humans will, whereas a Resident Evil zombie needs his brain to be destroyed.

    From a 'Which would i be more scared of', then 28 Days Later wins.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,872 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    I think 28 days would tear the Resi zombies apart.


    They're all scum though.

    You can vote for any reason you wish. So which reason you going with? :pac:

    Van Helsing
    28 days later infected/"zombies". The speed and the rage and pure hatred they have whereas resi evil zombies are classic zombies who kill to eat brains.

    so resi kills for their hunger while 28 days laters justs kills out of sheer rage!!

    EDIT: id try to say, 28 days later zombies kill out of rage so are more driven to kill and are scarier.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja


    Alien
    this is a tough call,in a straight fight 28 days zombies win hands down along with being more "realistic"

    But for the beauty of spreading the genre,being great games,scaring the sh*t out of a young ginja ninja and just being a far more interesting foe over all
    *drumroll*

    Resident Evil baby,rage zombies just can't be let win


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Don't worry proper classic Zeds will square off against more modern Zeds later, for now it's the infected.

    Will try and tally votes :P

    28 Days lead RE 5-2.

    One more vote and 28 days goes through to the next round.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭dioltas


    Have to go for 28 days later!

    The RE zombies are in a way more scary. Something freaky about the way they keep coming at you, hard to stop the bastards too. They seem more unnatural than the 28 days later ones!

    But having said that I'd face the RE over the rage ones anyday. The rage zombies are so much more violent and blood thirsty! So easy to get infected too.

    So my vote goes for 28 days later!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    28 days infected take this one, 6-2

    I AM LEGEND !

    Pitch black was a nice try for fun but... no real kick for me !

    Loved the way it was written and taken to the next level.

    Voted :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,995 ✭✭✭Sofiztikated


    Dracula from Van Helsing
    Pitch Black

    Unknown quantity. Can't tell how many of the bastid's there are.
    Hard to see.
    Scared/burned by light.

    I Am Legend

    Large number. Based on a guestimate, over 8 billion, allowing for current population, plus growth.
    Human based, but advanced capabilities.

    Conclusion.
    Pitch Black. I am Legend beings just weren't scary. I never felt any tension while watching it.
    Whereas Pitch black, made on a budget of €2 and a can of coke created some genuinely tension filled moments. The thing is, you see or almost see some of the creatures, but theres the "What if" factor as well. What if theres bigger ones. What if they get me, will I die quick? What if they keep coming?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    Van Helsing
    Ill vote I am legend, even though the CGI ruined these creatures from ever being truly scary, they still held more impact than pitch black.
    They got smarter as we seen in the film, could make plans/traps.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    I am Legend Creatures, Lead 2-1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja


    Alien
    I am legend is a great film the infected are so much more dynamic than most other monsters,as well as only having a hypersensitivty to sunlight,which is a bit of a dodgy weakness IMO

    but the Pitch Black flying creatures aren't even known about until it's too late,they travel in huge swarms,can devour a body in seconds as well as being much more susceptible to the sun[with 3 suns ontheir planet theys still became the dominant predator] and are in one of my favourite films of all time

    Pitch Black all the way

    The Fog
    Pitch Black hands down. Super fast, flying monsters with razor sharp claws/spikes against stupid looking half zombie/goblin type things? No contest here.

    Unless Riddick gets infected that is...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Dead Snow Zeds
    Pitch Black for me. Comparing both situations the scenario in Pitch Black would just have me scared ****less. These things are airbourne and can literally strike at any time once you step foot outside at night. In regards to I Am Legend, at the very least at least you could see them coming.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Pitch black rally and take the lead 4 -2


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭DakotaYoda


    Really, if ya read the book - HUMANITY is/are the real monsters of I Am Legend and I'm more afraid of my fellow humans than I ever will be of any monster.

    That being said - Pitch Black it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Pitch Black need one more to take this round.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Anyone any objections to me playing?

    Since the I am Legend creatures are only affected by direct sunlight and not other light sources, I feel they have the upper hand. the pitch black lads, need total darkness or they can't function.

    The I am Legend displayed some sort of intelligence as in they could build traps and have a social structure. I think they have enough in the mental department to overcome the sheer numbers of the Pitch black creatures.

    For me, I am Legend wins out.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,054 ✭✭✭Carsinian Thau


    Going to go with I Am Legend as well.

    Pitch Black ones were good but the intelligence of the I Am Legends makes them better imo. If you take their physiologies into account, the I Am Legends have clear superiority (as "enhanced" humans), especially considering the blind spot weakness of the Pitch Blacks.

    The Pitch Blacks were potent enemies but attacked as animals primarily. The I Am Legends had the ability to attack as an "army", which prioritised the removal of the weapons that could take them out (those UV lamps) first before going for the house. There was definite cognitive ability behind that attack. It was also goal orientated, as distinct from an instinctive attack (although I will admit that this ultimately served to their detriment).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    In an interesting turn of events, I am Legend comes rushing back.It's anyone's battle now.

    Pitch Black 5 - 4 I am Legend


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭dioltas


    Sorry, but I think I'm going to have to go for Pitch Black.

    I know I am Legend has the light sensitivity advantage, but I just think Pitch Black are more scary for some reason!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Boom and just like that, it's lights out for I am Legend, more like I could have been a Legend but failed :pac:

    Pitch Black proceed to round 2

    UGH.... only good thing is we can take out 2 sissy vamp-related things in one battle. I'd submit they ALL die BUT....



    I'll take Blade in this one... despite Snipes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Dead Snow Zeds
    :(

    Blade is the damn daywalker, I cannot look past this advantage of sunlight in dispatching both Lestat and Angel.

    Then again, it might not be a situation where Blade is hunting them. He could have happened upon a fight between Angel and Lestat at night. But even so, I think Blade is just a tad bit too skilled and badass for them, even in a straight up fight at night.

    Blade wins for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,291 ✭✭✭Junco Partner


    Blade
    c'mon i'ts Wesely Snipes with a goddamned sword! who else is gonna win?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭dioltas


    Wtf?

    Where's Edward, the most badass vampire of them all?

    edward-cullen-robert-pattinson1.jpg

    Even though he's not a vampire I'm going to go for Blade too.
    Angel is a bit of a pussy imo.

    It's a tough decision between Blade and Lestat, hard to call like, but I prefer Blade so he gets my vote.

    I don't know about a straight up surprise fight at night, could see Blade escaping though. Anyway, he's too clever to let himself get into that situation!
