Winner: IRVING WALLACE

As for my fight breakdown:

The cool thing about Wallace is that he's a complete psychopath with no rhyme or reason.  There's only one thing on his mind: kill as many people as he can, in whatever way he can.  Though I have to wonder how he can see out of the owl mask; dude must have major tunnel vision through that thing.

Peter Neal: there's a reason Tenebre is my favorite Argento flick, and a big part of that is the fact that the revelation of Neal as a killer is so surprising.  He's a highly intelligent and articulate man, and to see him snap in the finale really sells how manipulative and cunning he's been throughout the entire movie.  Not only does the dude solve the murders the police can't, but he actually manages to pin a couple more of his own on that killer.  That takes the kind of devious mentality and sociopathy of a born killer.  Wallace may be a homicidal maniac, but Neal's a homicidal maniac with a plan and the intelligence to carry it out.

My take: Peter Neal wins.

Thanks to everyone who voted, and I apologize for not having the results up sooner.  Been a busy couple of days with me away from home.  Look for round 18, which will be up shortly.

Peter drops to his knees and begins a silent prayer, stands up, then proceeds to slice a 2" cut on his left palm. Irving doesn't know what to think of, Peter's actions? Irving revs his chainsaw and runs at, Peter. Peter's head is tilted upwards, as if star gazing, remaining still as a statue, despite his foe charging at him and just yards away. At the last possible moment. Peter side steps, and puts out his foot. Irving trips on the foot of, Peter. His awkward and heavy mask hinders him from regaining balance. Irving lands belly first on his chainsaw. Gutting him like a stuck pig, or an owl in this case. Irving is still alive, but just barely. Peter turns to face the on-lookers. He gestures a thumb up- thumb down? The on-lookers all unanimously give a resounding thumbs down. Peter walks to the bleeding, Irving. Removes his owl head dressing. Picks up the chainsaw and saws off the head. With head removed from the body, Peter seizes the decapitated head and holds it high in the air. The on-lookers begin clapping loudly. Game over!

Winner- Peter.
Why? Could be sheer luck? Maybe fate? I'm really not sure???  All I know is Peter wins. And in the end: isn't that all that really matters.

It looks better if you download it rather than looking at it online.

Don't forget to vote, folks.  And again, I'm taking ideas for who to pit Jason Voorhees against, so feel free to post any ideas here.  Keep in mind however that it can't be anyone who's already appeared in a match so far.

Ok, this prob won't get 5 points.

Lon...I PM'd ya on the Jason match.  Either way, I'm curious what you think.

I got to give it to Owl-head for determination.

Winner- Irving Wallace

I voted for Lon cuz I wanted to see the tally and havnt seen the movies.

Yea, I haven't watched either flic, either. Had to Google both films to get some info.

Anyway, you should check 'em out.  You won't be disappointed.

P.S.: by the way, folks, I could use a little help.  The fight rosters have been done, obviously, but I do have one match I'm wanting to change.  It features Jason Voorhees vs Mad Man Mars (from the slasher flick Mad Man).  The more I think about that bout, the less I feel MMM would be a worthy opponent to a character of Jason's calibre. 

What I'm asking for are some suggestions as to whom I can have Jason face off against.  Mind you that it can't be any characters who have already appeared in previous weeks.  Obviously none of you know who will be appearing in future bouts (and I'm sure not gonna tell) but any character who you think might give Big J a run for his money, feel free to drop a name.  I'll let you guys know if/when I choose one of them (though I won't be telling who it is I pick -- you'll find out come the match).  Thanks ahead of time for any help.
