Z is for Zombies

Well A to Z-ers, it's the last day of the challenge. I won't deny that I'm glad to get a little break, but boy am I sad to see the end of my favorite year of A to Z thus far! I made so many new blogging friends and had such a great time acting as a co-host. I hope all of you had as much fun this April as I did. 

This is my fourth year participating in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, and every year I end with the same "Z" topic – Zombies! I'm a sucker for a good tradition, so it should come as no surprise that today's A to Z Movie Smackdown will feature our favorite brain-hungry fiends. So for the very last time this April cast your VOTE for your favorite . . .

And DON'T FORGET about the A to Z reflections post going on from May 4th through May 8th. We'd love to hear about what you did and didn't like about the challenge, how you thought we did as hosts, what could be improved, cool bloggers you met or new blogs you're excited to follow, how you dealt with writing 26 posts in one month, and anything else you'd like to share! Write a post about your experience with the challenge and then add the link to your post to the Linky List (you can find it here at my blog May 4th). Do not add your link until you've published your reflections post! I can't wait to hear everyone's posts about the 2015 Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

Y is for Yuletide

It's the penultimate day of the challenge and time for the letter I struggle with every blessed year. Did anyone else have trouble coming up with something for the letter "Y"? Fortunately for me, I happened to come up with a category that not only works for today's letter, but also helps me settle a long debated subject with my friends. 

So for today's A to Z Movie Smackdown, the category is Christmas – or Yuletide – movies. And seriously, I could come up with a list so long it would eclipse the entire challenge (I'm a Christmas fanatic). But instead I'm simply going to feature two of my favorites and one movie that I absolutely hate (you'll have to guess which one that is, as I won't be telling just yet), and we'll see what you guys have to say about it. So cast your VOTE and let me know which is your favorite . . .

Y is for Yuletide:

X is for eXtraterrestrial eXterminators

Only three days left in the challenge, which makes me think . . . what on earth will I do with my time when April is over and I have no more alphabetic awesomeness? I guess I'll have to focus on other things like, oh no, my writing. 

Well, that's a problem for another day. Today I'm focusing on the letter "X" and another A to Z Movie Smackdown, and it's going to be a fun one! Why's that you ask? Because today is all about the ABC's of great entertainment – Aliens, Battles, and Cocky leading men. So VOTE for your favorite alien assault squadron, or in other words . . .

X is for eXtraterrestrial eXterminators:

W is for Westerns

Well A to Z-ers, it's the last week of the challenge. I'm exhausted, but sad to see it coming to an end. I'm glad to see there are so many of you still participating. You've almost made it to the finish line!

For today's A to Z Movie Smackdown, I'm featuring the wild, wild west. I don't watch a lot of westerns, but the two I've chosen today are among the greats. One of these films happens to feature one of my favorite film characters, but telling you would be cheating. So VOTE for the following and let me know which is your favorite Western!

W is for Westerns: 

 vs.

V is for Vampires

The vampire genre has become over-saturated in recent years, and with the invention of vampires that sparkle (Why? I mean, just . . . why?), my interest in these fanged immortals has experienced a rapid decline. That being said, there are two vampire franchises that really got it right and continue to hold my interest to this day. They've got it all: seedy underworlds that prey on humanity, vampiric half-breeds and hybrids, and amazing weaponry!

For today's A to Z Movie Smackdown, I'd like to pit these two bloodsucking series against one another and see which one comes out the victor. So cast your VOTE for . . . 

V is for Vampires:

 vs.

U is for Under the Sea

Yay, we made it to the letter "U", which means it's time for another A to Z Movie Smackdown . . . animated style. Today's post features two swimmingly superb selections of the subaquatic variety (hmm, maybe I should have made this an "S" post). I can't wait to see how you all VOTE today. Will is be the titian haired mermaid with amphibious side-kicks, or the film that taught us that fish are friends, not food? Only you can decide! 

U is for Under the Sea:

 vs.

T is for Trials

Well A to Z-ers, it's another beautiful day for an A to Z Movie Smackdown. Today we're kicking it back all the way to 1992 when two of the greatest movies of all time hit the big screen. Though they share a common thread – today's "T" category, trials – they are very different in tone. Still, they were both nominated for Academy Awards (one of them actually winning for Best Supporting Actress), and equally amazing. I don't know how you're going to choose between these two! Cast your VOTE and let me know which you think it today's winner. 

T is for Trial:
