Sunday Smackdown


Let's meet this week's two contestants.

 Vs.

Jack Conrad, awaiting execution in a corrupt South American prison is bought by a wealthy television producer and transported to a deserted island in the South Pacific along with nine other condemned criminals similarly purchased from prisons around the world. They are offered an opportunity to avoid capital punishment and win back their freedom by fighting to the death in an illegal game to be filmed and broadcast live on the Internet. A bomb is placed on every contestant, each featuring a 30-hour countdown timer, and a ripcord that will detonate after a ten second delay. The winner has the bomb removed and is given their freedom as well as a pocket full of cash as the prize. Conrad is a former Delta Force operative who was captured on a Black ops mission in El Salvador where he ended up in prison. 

Ben Richards, a military pilot who was convicted of a massacre he actually refused to participate in. He escapes from a labor camp with other inmates, but is eventually captured and taken to the ICS studios. He's coerced to compete in The Running Man, in which convicted criminals fight for their lives. In the game zone he and his fellow escapees are hunted by The Stalkers as they attempt to make it to the end for a chance to be pardoned and set free.

Now that we've gotten to know our two contestants it's time for the game to begin. So, c'mon down!

Sunday Smackdown


This week's battle involves two masked bastard's who heart sharp knives and dead teenagers.

 Vs.


Up first is Micheal Myers. Old Double M really needs no intro. Sister killer, baby sitter terrorizer extraordinaire, Mike's track record well known to horror fans. He's not that fast, but what he lacks in speed he makes up for by being a knifey stabby Juggernaut of doom.

His opponent hasn't been around as long but is just as well known. Ghostface first appeared in Scream (1996) as a disguise used by two teenagers during their killing spree in the town of Woodsboro. Used primarily as a disguise for each of the antagonists in the subsequent Scream films to conceal the killer(s) identity while conducting serial murder. Though every iteration of Ghostface is human, they all exhibit extreme durability against physical harm, high levels of physical strength and an almost supernatural stealth ability, able to appear and disappear in seemingly impossible situations. As well as sharing a preference for taunting their victims by phone.

Place your bets, sharpen your knives and read up on your horror film rules. It's time to get slashed.
