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

Kolido

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.

how long were signups open for nomination? I thought entries had dried up, but some people seem not to have got their nominations in

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.

Choc Chip

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.

sKeith

Vote lost boys, - that soundtrack, i love aliens, but lost boys is FUN.


Very very tough final to call.

Heres Johnny

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.

Open since the 5th so for 5 days, I hadn't received any nominations since Wednesday though bar Choc Chip's late late entry this morning

The Lost Boys cos The Frog Brothers and Aliens isnt a real horror movie

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.

Tammy!

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!

Never saw a twilight movie, but you're probably right.

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.

Jurgen The German

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.

khalessi

Well jason Patric did have amazing lips in the 80s but vampires in twilight no so much

Aliens and Jaws please

When you get to the final 2, make it a semi final with the Texas chainsaw massacre on 1 side and the exorcist on the other.

You can clearly see hes holding a golf club the wrong way around - Another great film that didnt make the cut

Tammy!

I'm quite happy with how Sean of the Dead did so

Heres Johnny

Not a single vote for the omen. Great movie too. The big 3 from the 70s in my opinion, the Shining the exorcist and the omen. Read all 3 books too

Whoops. I'm a fair few pages back. I'll have me some Xenomorphs please, Aliens. Get away from her you b*tch

Banjo

I still want you, Lucy... I haven't changed my mind about that!

Max was so much scarier than the Queen. Imagine your prospective stepfather was a video store owner! There's no future in that...

Lost Boys.

BTW, last week boardsies decided that the best movie EVER was goodfellas.

Necro

6 mins left.

Lost Boys leads Aliens 6-4.

Still time for an Alien Resurrection though.....

(Bad pun... I'll leave now)

Necro

I found it quite amusing myself that Poltergeist 2 was nominated but not the original :pac:

LadySkunk

Oh can I still vote for The Lost Boys?

Loved all the characters and the time it was set in.

Spooktacular and worthy of rewatching again and again

Voting Closed. Please Stand By

TheValeyard

This made me go back and play 'Alien Isolation' tonight. I got so distracted by the votes for Lost Boys that I didn't see the Alien and it bit my head off. (I will add I was hiding under the table)

Necro

And so after 12 painstaking hours, Boards has spoken....


The winner of the 'Best Horror Movie EVER' is......



THE LOST BOYS!!!!!

A true people's champion.

Thank you everyone for playing!

But you submitted your 5 movies didn't you?
Good man yerself

TheValeyard

Cheers Necro. A hell of a task and lots of fun.

Obviously those who voted Lost Boys did so as they cant handle horror :P

Necro

Feel free to run off some other movies that didn't make the cut here if you wish.

But as for me, your faithful host... I'm knackered!!

Peace out!

Mam of 4

Brilliant Game Necro , thank you !!

Still think Aliens should have won though

Kolido

Delighted with that result, not going to scare you but a real gem of a movie.

One of my picks and someone else'

Kudos to Necro, savage going to that long. Really enjoyed it, thanks.
