Len Goodman gave the Vampires a "6" and the crowd went "Booooooooo."
Round One of the All-Monster Death-Match is concluded!

There was an excellent showing of the classic Universal Monsters, with the Vampires in particular utterly decimating Pod People. Mummies, however, surprisingly failed to rally against Terminators. I guess no one ever remembers that Mummies are only sort of the larval form of vengeful Egyptian wizards, which are awesome. Fare the well, sweet mummies, I voted for you.

Yetis were slightly edged out by Zombies, which I don't even know where to start with. Zombies have no narrative, you know? Meanwhile Ghosts and Fairies made exceptional showings against Goblins and Clowns, while Freaky Children Who Are, Like, Possessed By The Devil pulled a healthy lead over Ogres and orcs, bad news for the Lord of the Rings guys. Round One's most surprising pull was Werewolves and Wolfmen NARROWLY edging out Muppets, there was no tighter contest in round one. Bad news for those of you who wanted to see Sweetums go toe to toe with the Terminator.

Since Vampires demolished their opponent, they get a bye into the next round of voting. Here's Round Two, same rules apply, your voting criteria is your own, here we go!

You know, I say without a hint or irony that I would actually be very interested in seeing EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE as movies. Especially Golems vs Chupacabras. Or, rather, Golems and Chupacabras in a cop buddy film, NOW we're talking!1

1Also, I have seen Gill-Men versus Frankenstein monsters ... in, um, a Richard Moore porno comic. Shame on me.

You know, both times so far I have made my decision for or against cenobites as if I know what they are, but I don't. And I refuse to learn.

There are two reasons I voted for Zombies in Round 1:

1) The original '78 Dawn of the Dead rocks from the bottom to the t-o-p
2) As far as I know, there is not a great '60s psych-rock band called the Yetis

That said, I hope they drop out now. Zombies are way too integrated into the irritating-geek zeitgeist, and Gorgons are cooler than them in the same way that gypsies are cooler than pirates and Shaolin monks are cooler than ninjas.

I'm going to come out and admit, that I voted for Terminators both times, because they fucking terrify me. Honestly, when I was a kid, I had nightmares about Terminators. I also had nightmares about nuclear war and Jason Robards though, so, I don't know, take it for what it's worth.

I am saddened by the Yetis' loss. This is not a good way to start the day.

At least Werewolves made it through. I suspect Teen Wolf was the weak link the Muppets tried to exploit.

usually the internet would go with the lame fad monster (see: Yeti Vs. Zombie (and yeah, anyone who wants to argue this point, zombies are a fad (that is quickly fading at this point) compared to the age old bigfoot)), this time the internet is making the right choice. I really like the scenario of some old Rabbi making a Golem to get rid of the Chupacabras plauging his ghetto. Plus Frank Black never wrote a concept album about Chupacabras.
