CZAR · 09-23-2009, 04:26 PM

Ok Halloween is almost here and its time to start this debate!! I know this will excite all especially u horror fanatics!! U get only one vote so make it count! U can pick your fav if thats how u wanna choose, or whoever u think is the biggest, greatest or most popular!! Its up to u but pick who u think is the #1 guy, person, or thing!! This is the top 20 I listed and if there is someone u felt I missed Ill apologize early!! Just reply with that person although I doubt anyone not on this list will win the number 1 spot!! I listed based on the "horror" genre so no sci-fi characters. I picked by name popularity and mostly franchise individuals with an acception or 2!! Also listed the movie in parenthesis incase u arent familiar with that peticular icon! Remember vote for icon not movie itself! Also give your opinions of the worst icon and if u wanna list a top 3 and or bottom 3 after u vote for the best one thats invited as well!! Ok so here we go!! This is my take on this topic:

Greatest: Jason Voorhies

Favorite: Jason Voorhies

Least: Freddy Krueger

Top 3
Jason Voorhies
Michael Myers
The Tall Man

Bottom 3
Freddy Krueger
Candyman
Damien Thorn

Got Em!!

I think freddy is scarier, he's a child molester, while jasons just a whing mothers boy with a machete!

But as you say everyone is diffrent.

A Guy I work with is a big Christopher Lee fan. He's seen all the "Hammer" horror movies he has appeared in. I'm a big fan of Vincent Price. No man could play a mad man like Vincent Price.

In actuality that is probably the biggest and best 3!! I just didnt like Freddy but he is a big icon!! I can see where u are comin from!! Got Em!!

Pondosinatra · 09-23-2009, 05:25 PM

Even though the movies are lame....I'd have to say Jason.

Second (and as a bonus the movies rock) would be Pinhead.
