The Tournament of the Horror Deaths

[Psycom5k]

Add one more to Psycho.

Suspiria .

I'll go with Suspiria. We're not debating the quality of the films they came from, but the kills themselves. There are kills in Savage Weekend and Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers that are better than some in Halloween, and the kills in Suspiria are better kills than those in Psycho.

You do make an excellent point, Doc. I'll go with Psycho every time, though, because of what it meant at the time it was filmed. I look at Suspiria and see some very gruesome death scenes, and many of them with grave originality. However, within the same decade movies like Dawn of the Dead, The Hills Have Eyes, Halloween, and Black Christmas were released, just to name a few. Needless to say, the gruesome death scene was certainly catching on.

Now rewind seventeen years! Hitchcock shocks audiences everywhere with this soon-to-be-legendary shower scene. Not only was it more terrifying than anything that had been shown on the mainstream American silver screen before, but it completely pancaked the film; Alfred killed off his heroin before Psycho was even halfway over!

To me, a death scene doesn't get more iconic than Psycho's shower scene. But that's just my two cents.

I don't think either of them deserve to win, they are both great but not what I would say is the best of this series.

I think they both deserve to win, although I would have liked to see less predictable contenders.

Thanks to all who voted.

It was a long tourney because of me being sporadic throughout November and December, yet enough folks were interested in the tourney to keep it bumped. A big thanks to them also...

Also thanks goes to all who suggested some of the deaths, notably stygianwitch, Tic, Jenna, newb, Alky etc. You all rock, guys!

This tournament is dedicated to the person I adore - bloodrayne. Hope you log in soon...I miss you.

Well said sir ,but like Alky I kinda went for the kill as well as the importance of it in cinema.

Another notch in your belt ________V________......well done.
