The Thing and Predator are Sci-Fi, not Horror icons, although I acknowledge there is considerable overlap.

 

[Thrawn33]

Drac and Count O are the OGs.

They bridge the gap between sci-fi/horror. The Xenomorph was included, so once that's in there, hard not to include the Predator

No they are horror films with aliens, you could call them sci-fi horror but horror is the main component. Just like H.P. Lovecraft always used alien entities as the antagonists but you wouldn't call his stories sci-fi.
Predator (like Alien and The Terminator) is essentially a slasher film with an antagonist type often found in sci-fi. The Thing mainly combines body horror, psychological horror, and cosmic horror. You could say it has elements of science fiction, but it has less of those than The Thing from Another World or say the Andromeda Strain.

I love The Thing but I didn't pick its' antagonist here as it's not really a single antagonist, it's too non-traditional.

 

[Thai Domi]

Dracula is the horror OG and Bates is the slasher OG

 

[Kevster]

Leatherface
Predator
Pinhead

I'm assuming we're getting a Terminator at some point in this poll battle.

T-800 is obvious, but T-1000 is kinda horror too when you think about it

It has to be timed so the votes can be finalised and tallied for the next round
