So bummed these two got put up against each other. I voted Halloween, it's such an iconic horror film, and one that I watch every year. I fear this might be the end of it's run, which will be very disappointing. It was my dark horse pick to win the competition.

Went with Halloween, rewatch this one a lot, Alien only rarely.

Even though all 4 of my final four are alive, neither of these was in it. So at least 1 final four will be eliminated.

Fuck it, Halloween. Just cause I'm tired of seeing Alien :D

[Tommy]

Damn, now I gotta think, hate thinking!!!

This was the toughest decision of the four. I actually initially voted for Alien but went back and changed my mind. I feel like Halloween was way more influential on subsequent slashers that dominated the following decade than Alien was on sci-fi/horror. Love both though, so that's why I'm indecisive.

This was a tricky one for me. Like many people, Halloween is an annual rewatch for me. That said, Alien is just such an amazing film. It literally spawned an entire subgenre.

[DoctorZaius]

Alien, though it was a hard vote for sure.

[Jimimck]

Both a great actually. But I went with Halloween.

[mae]

The poll has closed. Alien moves on and Halloween is eliminated.

[St. Troy]

Michael Myers is gone...but I suspect he'll be back, as he's been known to hide in a variety of decades.

[Heather19]

This sucks, Alien took out 2 of the best horror films.

[RUBE]

Alien did win our horror movie tournament.
