Someone gets in Lord Summersilse' face, shaking a camera violently, using trendy modern outworld speak. The Lord, enraged by this lack of respect for his classicly trained acting, chucks this oik into the wickerman, and watches him BURN.

I take that as a vote for Summerisle.;)

3-1 in favour of Lord Summerisle so far.

Lord Summerisle all the way.

Handsome Bob

One more will do it to put Lord Summerisle through and bring Round 1 to a close.



EDIT This is only going to end one way so I'm putting Lord Summerisle through.

****************ROUND 1 IS OVER*****************

I'd like like to thank everyone who has participated for making this idea of mine a moderate success so far. While I am deciding on the representation of the Wildcard Round and Round 2, feel free to discuss or give feedback on the tournament so far.

The Wildcard Round could be posted tonight, but I can't guarantee it.

Bit of a snag. I'm creating a Poll for the Wildcard Round and I only have a maximum of 20 spots. Coincidently, I had four Triple Threat Matches so I can just eliminate all the losers from the Wildcard Round. That means unfortunately no place for Bela Lugosi's Dracula, Lon Chaney Jr's Wolfman, Chucky and Christopher Lee's Frankenstein. Sorry people!

Great thread LZ5by5....ive already stolen the idea and adapted it for another forum.......:D

Handsome Bob

Okay People, I have organised the Poll for the Wild Card Round and will post it shortly. Here's just a bit of information for you all;

• There are 20 choices.
• I plan in keeping it open for a day. But if votes are scarce I've given it a shelf life of two days just in case. But the plan is for this thread to be cut off in 24 hours.
  
• The top four leaders of the poll when it ends will go through to Round 2.
• I have given you all a resource in multiple choice. I trust you all not to abuse this resource! Since the top four go through I think that it is fair that you all give yourselves four picks.

Brace yourselves......

I really like the idea of Freddy invading one of Jason's dreams only to find him on stage singing along to Huey Lewis and the News in his boxers with a chainsaw. Make it happen.

Also, you left out a shoe in the the wolfman round

Nah, Nerin is right man, patience! I like the idea of having a two day break between Round 1 and 2 instead of having them on top of each other.

Well, I have been keeping tabs of who were voting regularly and I sent PM's to the ones who hadn't voted yet, and two of them have voted since. There hasn't been that many taking part, 20 tops. As I said in my original post I asked who had voted and that I'll finish it up once everyone who has been contributing has voted.:) I'll leave it for a day but not for the sake of people who haven't been contributing during the tournament can vote on who goes through to Round 2.

Nerin

The Candyman (The Candyman)

I thought it was four votes each

I said that max four votes each, but that you didn't have to use all of them if you didn't want to.

Nerin

The Candyman (The Candyman)

In an open poll,with multiple choices,you can vote more than once. Also-don't exclude people,maybe they just missed out on it. This is open to everyone.

Micky Dolenz

Norman Bates (Psycho)

So I can't vote for my first choice again but I can vote for 2nd 3rd and 4th?

I know people can vote more than once, that's why I made it multiple choice. All I said is that people don't have to vote more than once if they don't want to.

I'm not excluding people, I'm more than happy to see more people contribute to making this work. My main concern however are the people that have been contributing already. It's not a big deal man, calm down. I'll leave it alone for another day.

If that's how it came across then I apologise. All I meant is that I want to put the likes of Grames Bond first who want to see Round 2 start asap.

So its looking like:
Pred
'juice
Bateman
T-1000

Arguably all the strongest candidates are leading.

Indeed. But I thought Bates and Vorhees would have pushed hard.

************Round 2 Structure************

Qualifiers for Round 2:

Alien
Ash Williams
Carrie White
Critters

Damien Thorn
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Dracula (Lee)
Gremlins

Hannibal Lector
Frankenstein (Karloff)
Freddy Krueger
Michael Myers

Jack Torrance
Jaws
Leatherface
Lord Summerisle

Pinhead
Poltergeist
Ellen Ripley
Sarah Connor

The Crow
The Thing
T800
Wolfman (Nicholson)


Qualifiers for Round 2 through Wild Card:
Predator- 13
Beetlejuice-8
Patrick Bateman-7
T1000-6

How Round 2 will work:

• 28 Particiapants.
• There will be 8 one-on-ones and 4 triple threats
• For each battle I will randomly assign each participant a number. These numbers will change every battle.
• Each battle will be chosen by asking a poster by PM to randomly select two numbers, or in case of triple threats, three numbers.
• For example in Battle 1 I will PM a poster and ask him to pick any two numbers between 1 and 28. For instance if I PM Nerin and he picks numbers 4 and 18 that would mean Sarah Connor (4) would face Alien (18).
• The votes required for a win remains at six for Round 2.
• Round 2 will start tomorrow.

For now, I'd like to request that whoever wants to be PMed to decide on a Battle should reply here so as to not exclude anyone. You will then be all decided on random as to who gets PMed.

Any questions feel free to ask!
