there have been a few surprises in this round so far. i'm not trying to influence anything, so i won't mention which films specifically, but it appears more than just a couple of horror classics are in serious danger of failing to qualify for the ROUND of 16.
i don't think there's a clear CUT favorite in this tournament. which makes this whole thing unpredictable and exciting. get your votes in - the next round starts tomorrow!!!

I'm not saying I was happy to vote against rosemary's baby or the exorcist but I'd do it again if I had to.
No idea if those are 2 of the ones you're talking about but when you put them against evil dead 2 and shaun of the dead what am i supposed to do?

It's going to be really disappointing if neither of those movies makes it. Come on people.

Have you ever met someone who was just OBSESSED with the crow? I've met two. One girl in high school gave a 45 minute speech on the Crow...dressed as the Crow. And then a guy in my writing program wrote endless short stories that he said were "based on the Crow mythology," aka:

Both of these people are on my top ten list of a) weirdest and b) most annoying people I've ever met. And they are legion.

because only 8 people participated in this round, there were some really close ties. i'm sorry if a movie you voted for ended up being knocked out by my tie break system (best of 7 coin toss).
