Going with The Thing, I still personally believe it's the best of the three.

I may feel strongly about Halloween bein' the best in this certain genre but Alien is just a better movie. So Alien is gonna get my vote. God damn tournaments.

Alien was so good.....most people don't realize the entire premise is an allegory for fucking.

Going with Alien here, very good set of movies for the finals too

Interesting match. You have three films with simple premises (like most great horror), but all stand out as classics because of their style, characters and casting.

As a horror movie Halloween is one of the most perfect of all time. It changed the game for the slasher movie. Plus the music is some of the best of all time. I vote Halloween.

I'm gonna make sure this isn't a tie.

 

[Comrade Khan]

voting Alien, but was a very very hard choice. I just love space horror, so that was the deciding factor for me.

The Thing. . . kurt russell and Keith David

Voting for The Thing, though the feel of claustrophobia and dread is present throughout all 3 of these movies, I just think the sheer concept of the Thing is the most interesting of the three.

I can't believe Alien won. TBH, I wouldn't even call it a horror movie. Is it? I have never seen it listed at such, just a sci fi movie. Regardless, don't think the right movie won here. I enjoy Alien, first saw it when I was really young, so, it's not that it's a bad movie, I just wouldn't throw it in the horror section and say it's better than the other two.

So it did. Your winner and voted best horror movie of WS, is ALIEN.
