Re: Biggest Horror Icon
Jason's winning but I'm not sure that it is as an "easy" of choice as some may say. Halloween is the most successful of the franchises, in terms of merchandising, box office success, and (albeit marginally for now) longivity. All your arguments are good ones but I can tell you right now that there are NO N.O.E.S. nor Friday the 13th dedicated websites anywhere near number or size as the Halloween franchise has. My point being that yeah Jason was a 80's cult icon but Michael has did that in the 90's and the new millenium as well. I fell the other "big two" have lost alot of that whereas (even at the series lowest points) Michael's popularity remained. Go to ebay and type in Jason, Freddy...then Michael. There's a huge difference.
Not an argument (I love to hear everyone's opinion), just a personal observation and opinion.

Re: Biggest Horror Icon
Candyman was an excellent character as well, I agree bloodyhell81...just not as "big" as Freddy, Jason and Michael. I would have Pumpkinhead and Pinhead as honorable mentions (along with Candyman) as well.
