MHR IV CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND RACE 7: MEDUSA VS. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

It's a monstrous battle to the finish line to find out who will be the 2011 Monster Head Races champion! Will it be Medusa? Will it be The Phantom of the Opera? Who will win? Also, who will win the fantastic signed book, Mail-Order Mysteries: Real Stuff from Old Comic Book Ads! by Kirk Demarais. The people who picked the winning monster head will be entered into a drawing for this must have book!

In the Phantom of the Opera's corner we have kungfubonanza, Mother Firefly and Spookworks. Only three people picked the Phantom. Poor Phantom. First, he only gets a few fans and then he's picked on by Vlad in all the races. Maybe he can overcome it all and win the race.

In Medusa's corner and hopefully not turned to stone are Jack, Shawn Robare, Richard, John Rozum and pensive.

Now watch to see who wins -



Congrats to the winning Monster Head! Now Vlad will pick a winner for the signed Mail-Order Mysteries!



Thanks to everyone who played along and congrats to the big winner! (You will be getting an email later in the day.)

Hello race fans! The championship race is finally here and boy do we have an exciting race for you. King Kong and Saucer Man destroyed the competition to qualify for this final race. I guarantee these monsters gave every ounce of their monster blood to insure this race goes into the MHR history book.

CHAMPIONSHIP MONSTER HEAD RACE WILL AIR LATER TODAY

Oh no, we have a delay with today’s Championship Monster Head Race. I just uploaded the video and of course the still YouTube picked was the last frame showing the winner. I’ve picked a new frame, but it will take hours for it to change. Look for the race sometime later today.

Meanwhile, I want to say congrats to the six people who are still alive in the Monster Head Races contest. Monster Firefly, Erick and Sean Aaberg picked the 8th wonder of the world, King Kong. Kodama, Max the Drunken Severed Head and Paul Conrad picked the creeping horror with the biggest cranium in the galaxy, Saucer Man. One of you six will walk away with a Forry Ackerman signed copy of Famous Monsters and our pal Vlad will pick the winner!

Be sure to check back here later today for the final race and sorry for the delay.
