Things are getting interesting in March Badness. Who made the Sour 16? Find out below.
Bioraptors (Pitch Black) vs Pale Man (Pan's Labyrinth)
Even though the Bioraptors are the main monsters of Pitch Black and Pale Man is only a small part of Pan's Labyrinth, there's just something about the latter that is extremely unnerving. Maybe it's the eyeballs in the palms of his hands, or the gross, wrinkly skin. Whatever it is, Pale Man is just too disturbingly vile to ignore, even against the cool Bioraptors.
Winner: Pale Man
Stripe (Gremlins) vs Pinhead (Hellraiser)
Both are very original, but Pinhead is a bit too human-like. Stripe shows some personality, but he's definitely more monster than man and that makes the difference in this match-up.Winner: Stripe
The birds (The Birds) vs The Basilisk (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets)
Winner: The birds
Velociraptors (Jurassic Park) vs Mothra (Mothra)
The raptors are cunning and sneaky, and that makes the difference here. Mothra is a giant moth.
Winner: Velociraptors
Audrey II (Little Shop of Horrors) vs The Crawlers (The Descent)
Audrey II is just too much fun. I mean she (or is it a he?) bullies and manipulates Seymour into doing horrible things, all so Audrey II can keep getting bigger and stronger. The Crawlers just don't compare.
Winner: Audrey II
T-Rex (Jurassic Park) vs Frankenstein's monster (Frankenstein)
I like the big dinosaur from Jurassic Park, but Frankenstein's monster is in a league of his own.
Winner: Frankenstein's monster
Sharptooth (The Land Before Time) vs Pennywise (It)
The killer clown took down Predator in round one. That's bad news for Sharptooth.Winner: Pennywise
The Balrog (Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring) vs Gamera (Gamera)
Both have fiery powers, but the Balrog is a demonic beast and Gamera is a giant turtle. I'm tempted to go with the turtle, but... I'm not sure I could really justify it.Winner: The Balrog
The Kraken (Clash of the Titans) vs Flukeman (The X-Files)
Beasts of the sea (or sewer, in Flukeman's case) do battle here. In an actual fight, the Kraken would almost certainly win, but Flukeman's creepiness gives him the upset win.Winner: Flukeman
The Bugs (Starship Troopers) vs The Sarlacc (Star Wars: Return of the Jedi)
Winner: The Bugs
Graboids (Tremors) vs The Nothing (The Neverending story)
The Graboids may eat humans and other animals, but the Nothing destroys everything in its path, literally creating more of itself.Winner: The Nothing
King Kong (King Kong) vs The Brundlefly (The Fly)
Can a mutated fly-man take down the king? Upset special: yes he can!Winner: The Brundlefly
The Rancor (Star Wars: Return of the Jedi) vs The Blair Witch (The Blair Witch Project)
The Blair Witch can get by on spookiness surrounding her for only so long. To fairly judge a monster, I've got to be able to see it. I can see the Rancor, in all it's ugly glory, and so it wins this contest.Winner: The Rancor
The Xenomorph (Alien) vs The Crites (Critters)
The Crites are mischevious but the Xenomorph is truly monstrous and a great blend of scary and cool.
Winner: The Xenomorph
Rhedosaurus (The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms) vs Hybrid spiders (Arachnophobia)
I'd take my chances with the dinosaur.
Winner: Hybrid spiders
Jaws (Jaws) vs Godzilla (Godzilla)
Two classics face off here. Godzilla does more damage and seems a bit angrier, but Jaws' theme music gives him the slight edge.Winner: Jaws
The Bracket
Here's where we are after two rounds:
