Welcome to the 2017 Horror Icons tournament, Every few years I try to do this in October because I've spent my life loving horror and well, what better time to do these during the Halloween season.
Rules:
1. You can vote in as many of the daily matches as you want.
2. Matches will last 24 hours and will usually start around midnight EST. I may start a day earlier if work interferes with my sleep, but matches will still last 24 hours.
3. Ties will be broken the the next day with a bonus tiebreaker match. If the match is still a tie after the first tiebreaker, we will do a third match which I will abstain from and only vote if the results end in a third tie.
4. Have fun.

The legendary writer has made the most of his first run in the contest. After a fairly one sided affair with the Predator, King has edged out his own creation and another strong debuting character. On the flip side, the man made monster has been taking his own names. Could he be on his way to another battle with Freddy or does Mr. King have a different ending to this story.
