Poltergeist II kicks The Beyond's butt by a resounding 8-1 win!!

next match coming up in a sec...

Both good, but Return of the Living Dead is one of my favorite horror-comedies.

Return of the Living Dead.

Return of the Living Dead.

Damn! Tough one. I'll go with RotLD.

Return of the Living Dead

Very tough indeed....

RotLD

Return of the Living Dead cakewalks all over Pet Sematary and shuts it out with a thumping 5-0 win!!

Last match of Group 2 coming up in a min...

Bad Taste by a long shot

bad taste,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

bad taste, you got that?

I'm going to have to go for Witches of Eastwick here.

The Witches of Eastwick and Bad Taste are locked at 4-4 in a tense and bitter matchup!!

next vote will decide the winner...

And Bad Taste comes from behind to pull off a tough 6-4 win over The Witches of Eastwick!!

Moving on to the summary of Group 2 in a few...

At the end of the preliminary group matches of Group 2, which was a more tough and closely contested group, the list of notable losers are as follows :-

01 - The Monster Squad...(Beetlejuice managed to JUST scrap by)

02 - The Changeling...(surprising loss to the Hunger) (HDC Top 100 Ranked - 54th)

03 - Dead Ringers...(immensely popular movie which proved to be more than a match for Monkey Shines)

04 - The Toxic Avenger...(This Troma classic didnt have enough steam to get past Maniac Cop)

05 - Dead and Buried...(Spoorloos won the popularity contest)

06 - Psycho II...(One of the best sequels ever, yet Videodrome buried it good and proper)

07 - Near Dark...(very popular, but cant do much when you are pitted against nothing less than An American Werewolf in London)

08 - The Burning...(surprising and shocking loss to The Fly II, the shocker match of Group 2)

09 - The Lair of the White Worm...(This cult flick lost a close matchup with Hellraiser II)

10 - Killer Klowns from Outer Space...(Hugely popular, but was no match for the equally popular sequel to Demons)

11 - Inferno...(The critically acclaimed sequel to Suspiria, which was surprisingly shut out by Halloween II)

12 - Manhunter...(One of the best in the 80s, but no match for Re-Animator)(HDC Top 100 Ranking - 90th)

13 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2...(Hot favorite and a winner according to the odds, yet lost to the quietly praised Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer)(HDC Top 100 Ranking - 57th)

14 - The Beyond...(Not so popular among the voters after all who chose Poltergeist II over it)(HDC Top 100 Ranking - 94th)

15 - Pet Sematary...(Hailed by many as one of the best Stephen King adaptations on-screen, but failed to make an impact over the more popular Return of the Living Dead)(HDC Top 100 Ranking - 76th)

16 - The Witches of Eastwick...(A great movie, lost a close battle to Bad Taste)

Round 2 of the qualifiers from both Groups will commence shortly.
