It's not broader, G, it's wrong. Probably the same people who consider Silence Of The Lambs to be a horror film.

No, you're making the distinction.

No.

honeykid, you make me sad.

I feel bad for nominating non-creature features.

Still 4 more days to watch some of these and vote!!

2. Frankenstein - James Whale vs Bad Taste - Peter Jackson

4. Invasion of the Body Snatchers - Don Siegel vs An American Werewolf in London – John Landis
I've just decided to vote for the films I think are closer to being creature features. I'm hoping to watch Pan's Labyrinth this weekend, so I can vote for Sharktopus. Unless Pan's really is a creature feature, but I don't think it's going to be.

I think I will vote for movies that are more creature featurey from now on, too. I should have nominated only creature features, I don't know why the hell I nominated Pan's Labyrinth.

Didn't you nominate it because there's creatures in it?

But that doesn't make a creature feature, does it? I mean, there are creatures in 50 First Dates, but no one thought about nominating that. Actually, looking at some of the choices, I'm not overly confident with that statement.

Well, in the "Creature Feature" sense, it's creatures as in monsters right? So animals don't count, but the monsters in Pan's Labyrinth do, right?

Oh, someone should have nominated Labyrinth...

I don't know, I couldn't really find a very specific definition online. But I get the feeling that it leans towards a monster being the focal point of the film, like the main antagonist.

Yeah, but I shouldn't have. It's not at all a creature feature.

I guess the creatures aren't featured enough?

They are, it's just more of a fantasy than a creature feature.

Winners Round 1/ Week 1

1. Pan's Labyrinth - Guillermo del Toro
2. Frankenstein - James Whale
3. Ginger Snaps - John Fawcett
4. An American Werewolf in London – John Landis
5. Predator - John McTiernan
6. Jaws - Steven Spielberg
7. Piranha (1978) - Joe Dante
8. Them! - Gordon Douglas

Match 2 is a tie. I need someone who hasn't voted in that match yet to break it and vote for Frankenstein. ( or Bad Taste)

Round 1/Week 2

1. King Kong Escapes - Ishirô Honda vs Nightbreed - Clive Barker

2. Nosferatu the Vampyre - Werner Herzog vs Gal Force: Eternal Story - Katsuhito Akiyama

8. King Kong (1933) - Merian C. Cooper vs Starship Troopers - Paul Verhoeven

I've got a few to watch this time. Definitely watching King King Escapes and The Curse... as I get credit for those elsewhere.

Derek Someone else nominated Starship Troopers before you, so I need another nomination from you.

3. Bambi - Disney vs Fantastic Planet - René Laloux (okay I know Fantastic Planet isn't really a creature feature but BAMBI!?!?!)

5. The Host - Bong Joon Ho vs Terminator 2 - James Cameron

6. Tremors - Ron Underwood vs Cloverfield - Matt Reeves

8. King Kong (1933) - Merian C. Cooper vs Starship Troopers - Paul Verhoeven

3. Bambi - Disney vs Fantastic Planet - René Laloux

5. The Host - Bong Joon Ho vs Terminator 2 - James Cameron

8. King Kong (1933) - Merian C. Cooper vs Starship Troopers - Paul Verhoeven

Again, I've gone for those that are, IMO, closer to creature features. The Host definitely is, but it's a shame as I'd much rather watch T2, but I can't call it a creature feature by any stretch of the imagination. Ditto, King Kong and Starship Troopers, although, ST is closer to one than T2.

FFR, the three main type of creature feature go along these lines. Giant creature vs humans/other animal, mass of animals vs humans and radioactive/atomic/genetically altered creature vs humans/other animal. I personally think of the second type as more disaster movies than creature features, but I can understand them being considered creature features. Others take into account the old horror staples (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Wolfman, etc) and, again, I'm fine with those, though it's not what comes to mind when I think creature feature.
