Best Horror Movie Ever - Voting and Results Thread

Necro

As opposed to gladrags for the last contest, the attire for this one will be slightly different.

We have people donning their best wrappings....




Shuffling to their seats with loud, audible moaning....



A few are even in fancy dress!




Competition will begin at 1pm, so until then get comfy and discuss all things Horror!

The Rules:

• 16 first round matches
• Pick one of the movies and decide which you prefer. Give a reason. Movies where no reason are given won't be counted. All valid posts will be thanked.
• First to 6 points, with two clear points ahead goes through to the next round. Depending on volume of voters/contributors, this may increase exponentially by 2 votes each round.
• One vote per player per match.
• Anyone can vote, even if you hadn't submitted your entries.
• Ties will be decided by the vote of the organiser, if deadlocked for a considerable period (where no votes have been made in 15 minutes).

And a final note on the mechanics:

• Top 8 movies have been seeded to avoid playing off against each other in the first rounds.
• Other 24 movies have been randomised.
• Match order has been randomised (ie, you won't necessarily see the Seed 1 in the first match)

Necro

Ok I got my usual Saturday routine out of the way earlier than expected and am now ready to rock.

We'll get started shortly, the only question I have left for you is:

quickbeam

I'm ready!

Necro

So here we go folks.

And boy do we have a doozy to start this off!

Stephen King's movies collide when...





THE SHINING


VS


THE MIST





First to 6 with a clear gap of two....

And Go!

quickbeam

The Mist. It's a brilliant film. The best film to in to blind so I won't even say too much about why it's a great film. The Shining is good though, and I'm a fan of Kubrick, but The Mist is better.

Tough one! Both are great with two very dark endings.I'd pick The Shining though..Kubrick.The Mist is very underrated though.

I cant decide its been ages since ive seen either hang on 4 hours

The Shining .

That pic is legendary , who the feck wouldn't be scared seeing his face like that !

Kolido

Only ever seen the shinning, about 15 years ago, been meaning to watch it again.

However the mist, I just loved the setting, really great movie.

Tough battle but Im going to go with the mist.

Tammy!

The Shining for me. It's such a classic. More than just a horror film!

Necro

Tough battle.

3-2 Shining so far.

Choc Chip

The Shining for me. The tricycle scene and red rum! Spooky!

Just watched a few bits ive to give it to the shining, just a couple of notches ahead for me.

Ill be watching the mist later though so what do i know

What a great trailer this is.

quickbeam

If anyone's in doubt, just remember that Stephen King himself, hated The Shining, and loved The Mist, he even said the film improved on his original story ....

quickbeam

Broken link, Mick.

Tell Stephen King to stay out of this, sure what would he know about any of it

I'm not quite sure what I've just watched :pac:

storker

Can anyone join in? If so...The Mist... a better movie and a better adaptation of of King's story and a perfect added-on ending that's like a kick in the stomach. The Shining was ruined by the way it changed Jack Torrance's character, removing the tragic element, and also by Shelly Duvall's performance.

Necro

Yeah anyone can join storker

That was hilarious QB,

The mist. Better film better source. Too much of the director in the shining, so it's not really Kubrick's or Kings in the end
