    And Rikand's official vote seals it.

    Aliens advances as the xenomorphs destroy the shambling zombies

    6-2 the final score

    Final coming up.

    Banjo your vote was valid but just a little too late behind Rikand's killer one.

    So after almost 12 hours we are down to two movies:


    In the red corner, smashing conventional horrors before it en route to a possible fairytale victory with a stellar cast including a guy who would grow up to be Jack Bauer, we have:


    THE LOST BOYS

    Lost Boys IMDB



    220px-Lost_boys.jpg


    And in the blue corner we have a gun toting Ripley, a cute little girl, xenomorphs and Bill Paxton - it can only be....


    ALIENS

    Aliens IMDB




    e92bc4ba6bfc0a09e70d3a0a05f8eb6d.jpg


    Gonna let this run for 30 mins, most votes wins.

    Don't make me cast the deciding vote :P

    Why did I enter this all day movie marathon and shun the far more manageable movie quiz. God damn it...

    None were nominated. I was very surprised re: Candyman and Texas Chainsaw Massacre in particular.

    The lost boys has a killer soundtrack, great characters, vampires, no Buffy, and is an actual horror unlike its competitor, which is a sequel to a horror.

    My vote is the lost boys.

    The only other horror movie that can compare with the Texas chainsaw massacre is the exorcist. And I don’t think that was in the list either. People are dumb.

    Lost boys.

    It's good! There are better horror movies, but Aliens is not one of em, so lost boys gets my vote.

    I'm now regretting not entering chucky. QB, that's what I think is a comedy horror. ;)

    Vote goes to Aliens. Love both films but Aliens gets it for me.
    In the lost boys, there's a short scene where they were trapped in the house waiting for the onslaught to come and it was a bit tense. The entire aliens movie, like its prequel, are tense the whole way through. More a terror movie than a horror movie is how I would describe it, much like Jaws. But there is definitely terror and fear aplenty in it, for the characters and for the viewers which is probably missing from lost boys. For that reason I can't vote lost boys in this very critical final round.

    Exorcist got a single nomination, but didn't make the final cut due to randomisation process. Again, one I expected to be in the competition.

    Those who voted Lost Boys are the Twilight fans of the 80s.

    The Lost Boys - it's a brilliant film and it changed vampire films from the Dracula type to cool and complex characters.

    Plus I always wanted to go on that Boardwalk!

    I panicked. :(

    I could have made better choices but I appreciated being allowed the late entry and wanted to get things in quick.

    I'll do better when I run my own game, where I just tell you what films I like and tell you what you should vote for as best. ;)

    The Lost Boys easily, by virtue of reasons already outlined.

    That's not to say it's not a thoroughly enjoyable movie (Fright Night is better btw :pac: ). Kiefer was at his coolest in it, it has some iconic scenes and doesn't have any heirs and Grace's about it, just a fun, cheesy, 80s delight.
