Round Three of the All-Monster Death Match is dedicated to birthday girl tawdryjones, who was discovered by Christopher Columbus, or at least that's what it says according to Vatican II.

Vampires return to the field this round to find a series of battles much more closely fought than last round; Minotaurs conquered Cenobites by the widest margin, with Ghosts emerging over Fairies as the second biggest upset. The most surprising result may be in the form of GORGONS OVERCOMING ZOMBIES. Zombies are OUT of the running, this throws all my predictions into disarray, but suggests an important tactic in the event of zombie apocalypse. Downside: Gorgon apocalypse.

Round three's matchups end up being thematically consistent, amazingly enough ... Universal monster versus Universal monster*, Greek myth versus Greek myth, general artifact of the folkloric afterlife versus same and, be still my beating heart, an all-homonculus slugfest in the form of Frankenstein creatures versus Golems. I can honestly say I don't know how I'm going to vote in that contest, but that if I ever find a genie lamp, I can already tell you what one of my three wishes is going to be.




And I'm reposting the rules because apparently if I leave them out for a single post, some'a you get inflammamitis braincaseius and start getting up my short-shorts with cleats on, "What about Mothmaaaaannnnn?"

Monsters were chosen by the following guidelines:

• No individual specific monsters - i.e. Count Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster - were selected. Monsters are defined solely by TYPE.
• For the purposes of this poll, only human-like monsters were used, excluding all non-human monsters such as dragons, evil animals and, I don't know, cursed refrigerators or something
• Which are the two reasons neither King Kong nor Godzilla are on this list. Now you know.
• All monsters come from this Wikipedia list and also a couple I remembered.
• It's limited to 30 participants by way of LJ Poll limitations, so none of this "OH YOU FORGOT MOTHMANS" or whatever, I had to make cuts.
• However, convincing suggestions made in comments will encourage me to add monsters in the bye rounds.
• Your selection criteria is totally your own, decide between the monsters however you feel is appropriate.

* Or, alternatively, "The fight we've seen in every horror movie and book released since 1996..."
