This is a tough one to me. Even with Nightmare being higher on my list, I’m not exactly sure I want to vote for it here. Both are just really great movies. So I need to think it over

 

[Comrade Khan]

Nightmare before Xmas was my #1 seed. Tough bracket but I'm going with my top choice. Let's go!

 

[Chris]

Yeah I'm going Nightmare too, don't really expect it to move on here though lol

i was actually shocked it was seeded so low. its a cult classic

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Fuck it, Nightmare it is. Both on my list, and this was indeed higher so I already listed it as my favorite of the two. Won’t be mad if it loses, but damn, let’s get the upset.

Damn, tough choice but I do prefer Home Alone. I'd be fine with Nightmare winning though. Both quality films deserving of advancing.
