    Scream.It makes the "point" of getting stabbed more real and it's consequences.

    Scream stole it's best moments. For Shaun they're homages.
    Shaun for me old

    No evil dead movies? Not groovy. Not groovy at all

    How is it not horror??? :eek: It has fricking zombies! :confused:

    I think the best horrors scare me. For me, that's the purpose of horror.

    I don't think this even tried to do that. Its gory comedy, not horror.

    Shaun of the Dead, I know it's Com-Horr (or just comedy??) But it's a movie I could watch again while I really enjoyed Scream, it's not a movie I'd watch again.

    Shaun is is my vote.

    I'd pick scream over sotd any day.

    Scream revitalized the horror genre. Great movie of its time.

    5-3 to Shaun of the Dead.

    Will Scream be struck a killing blow or will it mount a slasher style comeback?

    I'll be so upset if a comedy wins best horror.

    I may have to start drinking.

    I'm going Scream

    That sparked offs new age of horror genre.

    Shaun, while good, is just another comedy

    You should have put a "most nominations" thing in ahead of the judge's decision. Unless you wanted this suffering, like a tribute to the agonising ecstacy of Hellraiser's Cenobites!

    Ok....

    I LOVE both of these movies, for different reasons.

    Shaun of the Dead is a fantastic take on the zombie apocalypse type movies, and has a lot of laughs throughout. Huge rewatchability factor.

    On the other hand - Scream is a genre classic. Singlehandedly revitalised the horror genre, in particular the slasher sub section. It's clever and self aware, much like Shaun of the Dead.

    But at the end of the day, Shaun is more of a comedy than a horror movie. There are elements of horror, and it is rightly classified (romantic comedy horror, quite the mouthful).

    Scream is my vote.

    And with that, Scream slashes Shaun out of the competition.

    Last 16 coming up very shortly!
