Michael Myers.

I spoke with Nick Castle at our most recent Comic Con (he did those creepy silhouettes in the movie as well as stalk Jamie Lee Curtis's character around throughout the first Halloween movie.) Anyhoo, I asked if he supported the idea of a Freddy vs. Jason vs. Michael Myers movie *funny thing was that all three actors were sitting across from each other at separate tables*. He said that he heard about it, was all for the idea, but no word of making that movie has been finalized as of yet.

Evil always finds its way home.

My favorite horror character is Chucky. Not a slasher I guess just mentioning it.

Guess my favorite of those is Jason.

The Ring and Ringu will always be my favorite. I also enjoy V/H/S and Sinister. Insidious wasn't bad, either.

Not sure if I'll actually end up watching anything specific. I don't, normally.

Fav is Michael, but I do like Jason and Freddy. Chucky is okay.

I thought about Freddy first, but chose Michael. And now I'm sad to see Freddy doesn't have any votes

Freddy...the one-liners that he uses, before he kills you, are more memorable and appreciated. Plus, the unlimited possibilities to kill you, during your sleep, would be awesome if given the right director/producer.

I suppose Jason, but Pinhead would have been my first choice. He was very sinister in the first two Hellraiser films. To me, demons have always been scarier than guys with knives. I do like Jason and Michael as well because of their silence. Had a pretty tough time voting here because Freddy was also a favorite. He comes up with so many creative ways to kill.

I only saw the first Halloween film but I enjoyed it. Need to get around to seeing the rest. I still remember this thing SciFi used to do in October where they'd show every Jason, Freddy, and Michael movie and call them the hack pack. Hang on, I think Chucky was in the mix too. AMC did something like this last year. Man I love October!

Chucky is great I am sad he got no respect from the list, but my personal favorite is Jeepers Creepers.

Norman Bates is my all time favorite but of these 3 I would pick Michael. I really like Leatherhead a lot as well. This summer they actually released the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre for an anniversary theatrical run. It was only in select cities and I was really irritated about that. Also Jaws would pwn Michael, Freddy, and Jason at once but I digress. LOL.

As a kid I loved horror movies but I wasn't allowed to watch them so I watched very few of them, as a teen/adult I just don't care about them. I do try to watch a horror movie or two in October but other than that I can't be bothered unless its more of a thriller. I prefer anthology shows or shorts. I've heard Trick r Treat is an excellent movie, would like to check it out one day.

Now as a kid I loved Michael Meyers and Freddy Krooger but my all time favorite was always Jason Vorhees, I dressed up as him at least 3 Halloweens.

Last year I only saw Hellraiser and Night of the living dead, since they're both "classics" and I hadn't watched any of them. I didn't like Hellraiser though I didn't pay too much attention to the movie and Night of the Living dead was alright but it didn't set my world on fire, I can appreciate that it laid all the Zombie tropes which is why the movie didn't seem as "fresh". This october I might watch the sequel.

Cool! Is that on Blu Ray? How's the quality?
My favorite is Halloween 3 (besides the first, of course!)... I don't know what it is about that movie, but it creeps me out every time I watch it!
