Norman Bates (Psycho)

Make it five.

Shryke

Wendy Torrance (The Shining)

Leatherface of course.

faceman

John Kramer/Jigsaw (Saw Franchise)

leatherface, it's a no brainer

Handsome Bob

Norman Bates (Psycho)

There is only going to be one outcome here so I'll make a vote in favour of Leatherface which brings it to 8-0 and puts him through to Round 2.

Next battle will be posted shortly......

Handsome Bob

Norman Bates (Psycho)

Round 1 Battle 9

Battle of the Heroines Part 2

Ellen Ripley

-v-

Wendy Torrance

Micky Dolenz

Norman Bates (Psycho)

It's got to be Ripley. She had a few movies of Alien hell to contend with and became a ruthless killer.

Delirium

Wendy Torrance (The Shining)

Ripley. She outlasted trained marines for gods sake.:D

Doctor DooM

Norman Bates (Psycho)

Ripley. She'd take out Wendy and then shoot the head off Jack just for effect after.

Galvasean

Wendy Torrance (The Shining)

Even without weapons Ripley would crush Wendy easily.

I call mismatch. Ripley should have been up against Sarah Connor and Wendy should have faced.... but I digress...

This from the man who wants things to be seeded in Round 2.:p People would have been crying at me if I put the two of them up against each other in Round 1.


4-0 so far in favour of Ripley. Lets keep up the quick pacing of the past few Battles please!

Ah, sorry. Well the way I am doing things is ensuring the best of the best go through to Round 2, while at the same time giving you guys some interesting battles to keep you all on your toes (think Myers v Vorhees, Alien v Pred, the Dracula Battle etc).

MOAR triple threat matches!!

In theory I'd like to do that more often. Realistically however this thing hasn't had the wde selection of voters that I hoped for. I'm barely getting 8 vote majorties. So Triple Threats will be few and far between due to time issues.

I assume Ripley won?

With your vote it stands at 5-0. Three more required.

faceman

John Kramer/Jigsaw (Saw Franchise)

Ripley - another no brainer!

Handsome Bob

Norman Bates (Psycho)

*********RULE CHANGE********

I have decreased the amount of votes required from 8 to 6 as things just aren't ticking over as much as I would like. With a 6-0 victory Ellen Ripley goes through to Round 2.

I will post the next battle shortly...........

Handsome Bob

Norman Bates (Psycho)

Round 1 Battle 10

Battle of the Abomination

Brundlefly (The Fly)



-v-


The Thing (The Thing)

Galvasean

Wendy Torrance (The Shining)

Good lord the Thing must be one of the tournament favorites. I given space it has limited fighting potential. Brundel's only chance is to set fire to him really quick and contain him. I'm going to hazard a guess that Brundel's scientific curiosity to study rather than destroy would prove his downfall in this one, not finishing off the Thing quick enough and being absorbed into the Thing's being.

my winner: THE THING!

cyberwolf77

Norman Bates (Psycho)

Brundlefly just has to puke on his opponent to win this one easily.

Probably not enough. I would imagine Brundel would be infected by the Thing before finishing it off fully. As you know once that happens youre pretty much screwed.

(good choice of opponents BTW)

Speaking of Brundel, did you see Jeff Goldblum's cameo in Deathwish?

He's the rapist, an early credit for his career

Speaking of Deathwish, i saw it for only €5 in Xtra vison yesterday.

Doctor DooM

Norman Bates (Psycho)

I haven't seen the thing so I am staying out of this one. I do think the fly is a bit of a wuss, though.

I have a feeling the next battle will piss you off.;):D

I didn't know that was Goldblum!:eek: I knew that I recognised that face though.

1-1 so far. Remember, it's first to six now.

All that I'll say is that it's two classic black comedy characters going up against each other.:p:D

Moonspell

Sidney Prescott (Scream Franchise)

The Thing...

Fly was a bit.. meh

faceman

John Kramer/Jigsaw (Saw Franchise)

The Thing. Ground breaking movie with top non CGI effects! The suspension throughout the film is often imitated, never duplicated!

Micky Dolenz

Norman Bates (Psycho)

The Thing gets my vote, anything that bursts out of your chest has to be the winner!

Handsome Bob

Norman Bates (Psycho)

4-1, two more votes will put The Thing into the next Round.

Brundlefly (The Fly)

Patrick Bateman.

Doctor DooM

NOOOOOOOOO! Damn you for making me choose!

*rubs hands and says excellent*:D

Don't worry man, whoever the loser is still has a chance of making it to Round 2 through the Wildcard Round.

Galvasean

Wendy Torrance (The Shining)

As huge a fan of American Psycho I am, Ash wins this one for me.
Where Bateman only preys on the weak, Ash is a hardened veteran who has fought many battles against powerful foes.
