Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, boils and ghouls… the winner of our first ever Halloween Horror October Madness Battle Royale…

Ms. Strode will receive a lifetime supply of cutlery and an all-expenses-paid one-week vacation to anywhere the hell outside of Haddonfield she chooses.

I hope you folks had some fun with this tournament, although I really did wish to put up lots of other content this year alongside it.  Unfortunately, there’s been a confluence of unhappy things in my life lately which ended up stealing a lot of Halloween’s thunder; I really couldn’t concentrate on enjoying the ghoulish delights of the season, much less blog about them.  At any rate, this truly hellish month is almost over, and I’m gonna do everything in my power to absorb as much of the Halloween Spirit as I possibly can in the next twelve hours!  I urge you all to do the same!  So, until next year…

Can the handy hero defeat the hormonal hellion?!  Will his chainsaw have enough gas, or will Laurie go all insane and stabby like all women!?

#30: Almost the End Double-Header!

We’re almost at the very end of the tournament now, and today we’ll be running one early match, and one later match so we can announce the winner on Halloween!

First up: Christine leaves skid marks on Van Helsing, Ash re-separates the Monster’s limbs, and Laurie sends Elvis to the grave, although there are still sightings of him throughout the midwest.

Game 30:
Laurie Strode v. Christine!

Can the surprisingly tough teenager tear Christine’s engine apart?!  Or will the angry auto be able to drive Laurie to her death!?

Sorry I’ve been remiss in my duties, but we’re gonna catch on up today!

First, though: Ash manages to severely damage the ball of twine and tar that Cheney uses as a heart, claiming victory over the VP.

Game 27:
Van Helsing v. Christine!

Can the evil auto drive all over the intrepid vampire slayer?!  Does Van Helsing even know what a car is?!

Game 28:
Old Elvis v. Laurie “I Didn’t Even Know I Had a Brother” Strode!

elvis2.jpg VSLauriestrode.jpg

Can the rocker survive a hunkahunka burning knife in the chest?!  Can Laurie — or any woman — resist the siren call of Elvis’s mojo!?

Game 29:
Frankenstein’s Monster v. Ash!

They both have abnormal brains, but which one can outfight the other?!  Will the reanimated man-brute be able to crush the retail salesman with the chainsaw hand!?

#25: I Want to See This Movie

Looks like the second double-header was unanimous! Frankenstein’s Monster tears off Seth’s arms and Laurie guts the comedic duo like fish!

Game 26:
Ash v. Dick Cheney!

One’s an idiot! One’s an evil mastermind!!  And, technically, I think they both count as cyborgs, come to think of it.  Who will prevail?!?
