Best Horror Movie Killer Tournament Round 1a: Sid Phillips (16) vs Joker (17)

[Smart Marx]

If we're comparing the characters, Sid's definitely more designed to frighten in my opinion. The shit he does to the toys is crazy.

 

[Smart Marx]

Hey if it was my choice neither would be here.

Chris seems to like chaos though so blame him.

Neither of these films are horror films.

I'm not the genre police

The only time I've vetoed an entry that I can remember was when someone nominated a TV show for a a movie tournament lol

this we agree on lol, i just feel joker i can at least make some case for (as i said, specifically the batman movie from the 90s) but yeah, i mean, from a purist POV neither would be classic horror. but ppl gonna ppl i guess lol

 

[Smart Marx]

I would say to the Burton Batman comments, though, that Returns does come awfully close to gothic horror. Throw Max Shreck in and I'd be game.

I don't need to read, though, it's based on the movies and he's not scary in any way.

then you should rewatch the movies. i guess you dont find mass murder, rape, torture scary ? thats like, a weird opinion

I don't remember exactly lol but it was definitely a black and white no debate situation to me lol may have been for TV themes or a movie genre one. Don't even remember who did it tbh

 

[Comrade Khan]

and "in any way" in just a lie

Dark Knight joker terrified me lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

Dark Knight joker terrified me lol

the new joker movie is pretty fucking scary from a psychological pov too

Not in the way it was presented. He literally shot people with comical guns or made them die with a goofy smile on their faces in 89.

In Nolan's he made a pencil disappear in a dude's eye. Joker was designed to be a crazy joker for lack of a better word, but not scary.
