You have been ... selected. Chosen to descend into the deepest insanity, the most frightening situations, the scariest movies of all time! Mu-ha-ha-ha!
But don't worry, it's TODAY doing the asking! We started with eight of the scariest films of all time and asked you to methodically hack through them (that is, vote on your favorites), so it's time to confront the four survivors still standing for Day 2. Time to get out your hatchet again and tell us which of the remaining films give you the darkest nightmares, the biggest goose bumps, the most minutes spent hiding under the covers.
So get ready to vote! Here are the movies clawing their way toward the title:
"The Shining" (1980) v. "Friday the 13th" (1980)
It's a supernatural battle that is super hard to choose between! There's little Danny, who sees dead people in a way "The Sixth Sense" did not, trapped in a snowbound hotel with his panicking mother and slowly unraveling author father in "The Shining"; while "Friday the 13th" features a serial killer hanging out at a summer camp, a killer who methodically takes out the counselors and turns out to be the mom of a long-dead child. Oh, and the long-dead kid seems to get involved at the end.
Think of the kids! And be very, very afraid!
"Scream" (1996) v. "Halloween" (1978)
In this pairing, the horror comes from within the house! "Scream" introduced us to the Ghostface killer, a slasher who murders after placing phone calls, and sometimes takes people out in their own homes. It's a meta-aware film that calls out the tropes of such horror films even as it indulges in them.
Meanwhile, "Halloween" focuses on a babysitter being stalked by a mental patient known for killing his babysitting teenage sister on Halloween when he was barely old enough to be in kindergarten. He also gets shot multiple times, yet escapes, setting the stage for a female heroine (the babysitter survives) and a virtually unstoppable killer.
So, time to vote! Pick one from each of the pairings as your favorite, and get ready for final face-off. It'll jump out from behind a corner before you even know it!
