Dread Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 This is the toughest of the first round to me. Myers is the definitive slasher and bests them all. And, the monster isn't the villain of the Frankenstein film. But, seeing as I have to vote, the Monster is more iconic, easily more powerful a character and could defeat Myers in a fight.

Guest Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 This was probably the hardest one for me this round. Both were extremely influential and I can't really argue against either one. I gotta side with the classics on this one, though. Karloff's monster completely redefined the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Tough for me also. Iconic vs being more of a villain. I'm going Iconic but seriously get a lad sad eyed that we might get to answer the age old question of Michael Myers vs a Shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Myers. He's unkillable, and has none of the weaknesses of Frankenstein like a desire to ape humanity. Plus I do want to see some of the upcoming battles with Myers more than the Monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Myers is a better example of a horror villain. The Monster isn't. Hell, I even put Victor Frankenstein on my list. That said, the Monster is tons, tons more iconic. I'm going to go with Myers, but narrowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 This might be the closest matching in the entire first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Frankenstein's Monster wins in what has to be considered an upset. If this were double elimination, I have no doubt Myers would have had a good second showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
