I am at a loss for words...I'm also surprised by the amount of Marlow fans who read this blog. But bravo Senor Pointy Mouth! You have lived to fight another round!
Now you are going up against the strong but silent supernatural type.
Monsters Vs Madmen Round 8 we have:
Marlow from 30 Days of Night
VS
Mahogany from Midnight Meat Train!
For those who still have yet to see Midnight Meat Train go rent it...now. Its friggin' awesome.
Holy Shit! I almost forgot about this! Well I forgot then was wracking my brain for a new opponent then I saw cheesecake and well yeah...forgot. Anyways, On with the fighting!
Alas... Candyman, we hardly knew ye. But you DID last two rounds AND you were neck and neck with Severen there for a while! My hooked avenger, you almost made it.
So Severen made it to the next round...and I have to admit I was rooting for him simply because Bill Paxton has never been sexier, damnit!
BUT will Severen live against a new foe? One of his OWN kind!?
Round 7 Monsters vs. Madmen we have:
The frighteningly hawt Severen from Near Dark
VS
The I'm frightened I FIND him hawt, Marlow from 30 Days of Night.
Vampire vs Vampire!!
Yup. We got the devil may care violence of Severen up against the cold calculated leadership of Marlow. Okay, for ME this a close one.
Lets see them in action. Unfortunately the videos are not embeddable so click below!
I am COMPLETELY shocked. I mean it was one hell of a close vote but WOW. There is MUCH love for the Candyman out there! But I do have to admit, it was a hard choice, even for me.
On to Round Six!
So even I will say this is a weird pairing. But I am trying this one because I figured another supernatural being does have to go against another supernatural being. That and I'll admit, both of them are crazy...yet strangely hot...bastards
Our current winner, Candyman from the Candyman movies
VS!
Severen from Near Dark!
Now if you have NOT seen Near Dark....why the hell not? Its is my absolutely favorite vampire film. And Severen here? Total unapologetic undead fuckwad. But I LOVE that unapologetic undead fuckwad almost as much as Candyman! This is Bill Paxton at his best. He needs to play assholes more often.
Here they are in Action. (Unfortunately these great scenes didn't allow embedding but they are worth the click of a link!)
Okay, thank you Johnny for breaking our tie! Yeah he voted twice but so did Stac and frankly, its an Internet contest that wins us nothing. How serious could it be?
Pennywise has gone to that tiny clown car in the sky.
And let me tell you it was a brutal bitch fight. Seriously. These two were tied for-freakin-EVER.
But The Tall Man manages to squeak by and has moved onto the first playoff game.
This....is going to be weird...really weird.
The Tall Man from the Phantasam movies.
VS
Samara from The Ring movies.
I really can't imagine weirder opponents except maybe putting my mom up against a walrus in a house dress.
Here they are in action Samara's student film
And the Tall Man...this clip speaks for itself
The winner of this will go up to the final final rounds of insanity when we start bringing the big guns out!
So cast your vote! Next Monday the survivor will be announced!
For the first time in Monsters vs Madmen history....which isn't that long since we've only had four rounds...We have a tie! I knew this was going to be a good match up!
Three votes for Tall Man and Three Votes for Pennywise! (Stac was a brat and decided to vote for both)
So I'm leaving it up until Tuesday for the Tie Breaker.
Well the vote was a bit closer this time! And by closer I mean it wasn't a complete slaughter and one side got more than one vote.
KANE IS DEAD!
But there was some interesting discussion from our Kane supporters. R.I.P Kane. We hardly knew ye.
I really believe I am not making these matches hard enough. So I'm skipping over some other lower teared madmen and jumping to one of the bigger guns.
ROUND 4!
The Tall Man from the Phantasam movies
Vs.
Pennywise, the Clown from IT.
Yeah, this should be good. The Tall Man is a scary old bastard with undead midget minions and terrifying bloodthirsty spheres on his side. Also, he never dies!! He keeps coming back! Pennywise is an ancient evil entity who decides to appear to children AS A GODDAMNED CLOWN that EATS PEOPLE! Yikes on both ends.
It sounds like a sitcom. Like they should be renting an apartment somewhere in south Hollywood and doing things like opening a dog grooming salon or a juice bar. And shenanigans happen. Anyway...
Regarding our new contender: I never had a fear of clowns...but Pennywise can easily induce that fear in me. I shudder when I walk past a circus now. Did I ever mention my brother in law is a trained mime and clown? He likes to put on his clown suit and scare the piss out of me. My sister now wants me to make my 1 year old nephew a little clown costume for Halloween. Miniwise... ...yeah.
Lets see them in action.
The Tall Man doesn't need make up or a red nose. He just needs to show up to freak me out.
Let this be a lesson to all of us. Never trust clowns that hang out in sewers.
The survivor of this round will go on to fight Samara, our current reigning champion. Choose wisely.
I'm Back! I'm dehydrated and hung over...this is a sign that I had a good time. Considering the amount of spirited beverages I consumed I would like to point out to Stac that I am NOT a slacker...you light weight.
ANYWAYS.
You bitches are ruthless! I mean it! When you have you're hearts set on someone there is no holding you back is there? In other words...
Gage is Dead
I really thought he would stand a chance too but he only received one vote. Poor evil little munchkin. So after two completely flawless victories, Samara is retiring to her corner to rest, recover, and attempt to work on her wood burning hobby. That was a shitty attempt at a joke. I won't deny that. Samara will return later for more fights
Moving on from creepy nightmare children, this next round we put up the two old farts of horror.
Everyone's favorite vomit monster
Kane from Poltergeist 2
VS
The mortician on a mission
The Tall Man from Phantasm
For me, this is a very hard choice. Both of these men scare the gravy out of me. On one hand we have a scary old bastard who has the hordes of the undead on his side, on the other...well..almost the same thing but in a completely different scenario. Either way, both of these fellas gave me nightmares at one point in my life.
Lets see them in action.
Here's Kane giving himself a creepy intro to the family. He doesn't do much but honestly, does he have to?
And here's the Tall Man. Lets face it, we all at one point feared seeing that over our bed.
On a sort of but not really related note. I knew a gentleman who looked exactly like the Tall Man. His name was Aubrey and he was probably the kindest, most soft spoken, gentle soul I ever met in my life. But for the first month meeting him I was terrified to talk to him and feared I'd see him in my full length mirror at night.
Which old surly bastard will reign? Which will have to haul out the BenGay after his ass whoopin' ?!
The polls will remain open for a bit longer since I'll be out of town most of next week. So check out the post and shout out who you want to win if you haven't yet!
Wow...It was unanimous. Not ONE vote for the other side.
You people are ruthless.
Kayako is dead!
There wasn't one vote for our poor frog throated siren. Samara has ruthlessly slaughtered her . Of course that really comes as no surprise to me. Samara does kill for the sheer fun of it.
Congrats Samara, you have made it to the next round!
So now its creepy kid vs. creepy kid as our sadistic little student film maker goes up against a undead little high pitched gremlin of evil.
Samara from the Ring
VS
Gage from Pet Cemetary
Both are pretty sadistic.
Here's Samara showing that all evil little girls in a well need is a hug from mommy in The Ring 2.
And here's Gage showing G'pa Jud his aptitude toward medical school in Pet Cemetary.
Which creepy little shit will reign?! Vote now! The winner will be announced next week!
SEVEREN?!?!
Marlow from 30 Days of Night
Mahogany from Midnight Meat Train!
