The 1980s Slasher Cup
Sunday, October 26, 2008
Don't forget to vote!
Vote for the 1980s Slasher Cup, that is. I am unaware of any other election that is this important. [1] From the Cup's opening post:128 slasher movies from the 1980's are here to battle it out in an elimination-style game that will randomly pit one film against another, until only one remains!
Each day, there will be two matchups (one film versus another, in two sets). After 24 hours, the movie with the most votes will move on to the next round, whilst the other will be eliminated. This will continue until one film remains, becoming the 1980's Slasher Cup Champion!
The first few rounds have already been voted on, but there are many more to come. Check out the Slasher Cup's first post for the full list of movies that will be voted on.
[1] Satire. Or is it?

I'm proud(?) to say I've purposely not seen one slasher film, unless you count an upscale item like SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, which was excellent.
That's okay, dear, I've never seen "Star Wars".
Whaa........?????
That's a good topic in its own right: popular and/or classic films we have never seen, nor ever will.
P.S. I now recall that I did see HALLOWEEN, and of course PSYCHO, which were landmark slasher-type films. I just haven't seen ten billion of the imitations!
Speaking of good topics, you may have noticed I didn't do a Monday Morning Question. Yeah, Monday got away from me real quick. I'll try to post something in a couple of days.
My sister and I (we were in high school) watched "Nightmare on Elm Street" at home on tape. Mom was in the room and she couldn't believe: 1: that we were watching it, 2: that we were laughing ourselves sick- especially at the scene where the girl is getting stabbed and slashed by an invisible Freddy while defying gravity and rolling around the walls and ceiling.
Of course, me and my sister are warped. we spent one Christmas morning watching "It's a Wonderful Life" and shooting rubber darts at the TV screen. We had an informal points system for hitting Donna Reed in the eyes or mouth. Claiming a hit was tricky- you might score, but she'd move- or the picture would cut.
I've loved reading all your comments at Anchorwoman in Peril and over at the Slasher Cup, and I just LOVE your blog. It's pretty impressive.
