Ever feel like you're the only one who equates the phrase "Evil Dead 2" with a serious case of the warm and fuzzies? Well, you're not alone anymore! The staff members of 11th Hour have bravely taken upon themselves the task of righting a great injustice that has plagued the genre community for years: the baffling lack of recognition given to really, really hot guys. While horror and sci-fi invoke a long list of seriously shaggable women (Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, etc), the equally stimulating men have been cruelly and unfairly ignored. Nightmare's Johnny Depp, Friday the Thirteenth's Kevin Bacon, ALIENS' Michael Biehn -- how did this neglect for the overwhelming hunk factor go on for so long? (Well, those questions can probably be answered with the terms "silly men" and "repressed feminists", but that's a whole 'nother story.)

We at 11th Hour are determined to prove that there is more to the genre man than Chucky's plastic ass. We have scoured our video racks and deepest fantasies to give you who we think are the hottest, sexist and most droolworthy guys in everything from Star Wars to Cemetary Man. Hopefully this analysis will prevent further oversight of these fine male specimens and encourage the proliferation of hotties to continue well into the future. Plus, we just wanted to kick Femme Fatale's ass. The following list is in unranked alphabetical order to prevent bloodshed among the 11th Hour staff. Enjoy... we know we did!

	Visual Stimuli: Terminator, Terminator 2, Aliens, The Abyss, The Seventh Sign, and the upcoming Cherry Falls. Forget Leonardo Di Craprio -- Michael Biehn is the true James Cameron pin-up boy. "I'm thankful for this guy's incredible body...of work," comments one panelist. "He's got so many credits to his name, it's just shocking. Plus, the more movies he does, the more chances there are that the script will call for shirt removal." Agrees another voter, "He made a Demi Moore movie seem tolerable." Finally, Michael's Aliens role struck quite a nostalgic chord with one of our most Space: Above and Beyond-inclined judges: "My first Space Marine. You always remember your first fondly. Or was that, 'Remember, you fondle your first always'? Either way works for me."
	Visual Stimuli: The Evil Dead trilogy, From Dusk Til Dawn 2, Adventures of Brisco County Jr., American Gothic (TV), X-Files, Hercules and Xena. Whether battling the undead, hunting bounties in the wild west or co-starring with Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Bruce Campbell is the kind of guy that makes us want to put the "whore" back in horror. "Evil Dead 2 gives me the girly shivers," sighs one voter. "Bruce set the standard for sexy guys lacking in limbs." (See winners Nic Lea and Matthew McConaughey, below.) Even for those of us who don't worship at the Fountain of Ash, Bruce holds major appeal: "I love his mustache in 'Xena' and 'Hercules.' It's dig me cool. He's very swashbuckling." But for some of us, it's Bruce's endless list of credits that holds the real attraction: "Bruce is it, baby," says one enthusiastic voter. "You can't go wrong with a classic."
	Visual Stimuli: American Gothic, Babylon 5: Crusade. While he can currently be drooled over in Babylon 5: Crusade, it's his role as Sheriff Buck in the woefully short-lived American Gothic that confirmed that Satan can be Sexy. "Oh sure I'd go to hell, but what a lovely trip it would be!" gushes one randy voter. "I'm pretty certain at one time I checked a map for the location of Trinity, South Carolina." Some of us found Gary to be so sexy he overrides even the most deadly flaws: "He's cute, even though he wears vests. And, uh, is the devil." However, it's hard to forget that Trinity was a town just jam-packed with hotties: "Gary's sexy southern drawl was almost enough to tear my attention away from Jake Weber."
	Visual Stimuli: A Nightmare on Elm St, Edward Scissorhands, Freddy's Dead, Ed Wood, and the upcoming Astronaut's Wife, Ninth Gate, and Sleepy Hollow. Despite his propensity for dating human twigs and pretending to be a rock singer in real life, onscreen Johnny has made nary a false move. "Even with that dorky haircut in Nightmare on Elm Street, it's obvious that Johnny is a babe in training," remarks one panelist. And as his roles got better, the drool factor for this talented actor just kept increasing: while his performances in Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood were Oscar-worthy, it's his future roles that hold the most intrigue. "I can't wait for Sleepy Hollow," enthuses one voter. "Johnny puts the 'bod' in Ichabod Crane." One panelist sums up Johnny's appeal nicely: "Gorgeous and freaky. It's a lovely combo."
	Visual Stimuli: Dellamorte Dellamore, a.k.a Cemetary Man. "I've never seen him in anything genre," confesses one panelist. "I've seen him shirtless though. Mrrrrrrroww!" For those of us who have spent many an hour drooling at the Italian horror flick Dellamorte, Dellmore, the sentiment remains the same: "It's about time the Italian gore flicks added some hotties. I mean, for a while there it was like you've got Jennifer Connelly and Asia Argento, and then you've got…I dunno, an aging Richard Johnson? Yuck!" Although the presence of the godlike Rupert may have evened the score in that respect, one great injustice remains: "Damn the other team that he plays for! DAMN THEM!"
	Visual Stimuli: The X-Files, Sliders, The Outer Limits, Highlander, The Burning Zone. While Bruce may have set the standard in Evil Dead 2, Nic Lea raises that whole sexy limbless guy thing to a whole new level of hotness. "You'd expect a TV actor to treat his character's missing arm like a handicap. Nicholas Lea proves that amputations can be sexy!" Another voter agrees: "If we needed any further proof that the guys at 1013 are bouncing mental checks, the gross failure to properly utilize Nic Lea as Krycek is it. He's by far the most intriguing character on the series, not to mention the best actor on the show. And he has a cool leather jacket." One panelist was so enamoured of Nic's performance that she seems to have lost all sense of coherency: "Two arms. TWO ARMS, DAMNIT! Uh. What were we talking about again?"
	Visual Stimuli: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Millennium and the upcoming House on Haunted Hill. As any girl knows, the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer defines droolworthy, so for us to narrow it down to just one selection must mean the winner is pretty damn fine. According to one of our more obsessive voters, "fine" does not even begin to cover it: "If there was ever an episode of Star Trek where the crew discovered a being who spontaneously came into existance from an intense concentration of SHEER ANIMAL MAGNETISM, they would've had to cast James Marsters for the role. After all, it's his true life story. Well, okay, he's actually from Modesto and it's fairly safe to say he was just a normal kid. But somewhere along the line he turned into a living, breathing, pheromone-exuding manifestation of sex appeal!" One of our panelists -- perhaps thankfully, not that one -- was lucky enough to meet James and found he's as much of a hottie in person: "He's a chatty bloke and very sweet. You find that you want to kiss him just to shut him up."
	Visual Stimuli: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4, Contact. OK, so he's not exactly genre boy, but we had to include Matthew McCheese if only for his sterling performance in the fourth installment of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies, a series which has been notoriously lacking in the babe factor for years. "OK, so in the first movie you've got this beautiful blond, Sally, and then you've got Franklin, who probably coulda sustained Leatherface for the next twenty years. He ranks up there with -- mwaaghh! -- Halloween's Bob in the ugly slasher guy awards. But here you've got Matthew, and boy is he yum, even without a leg! Now that's what I call justice." However, not all of our judges were so fond of this choice: "Two words: 'Hill' and 'Billy.'"
	Visual Stimuli: Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. An esteemed graduate from the Harrison Ford School of Hot Guys in Star Wars Movies, this latest Jedi Master may well be the best yet. "I could make some cheap, much-used joke about lightsabers here," begins one panelist. "But I refuse to sink that low. Instead, I'll talk about his…oh wait, that might not be a good idea either..." But while Ewan has got us all revved up for the Clone Wars ("The more Ewans, the better"), it's his amazing vocal impression of the actor who created the role of Obi Wan that has one of our staff members all hot and bothered: "I'd take him if I could put a bag over his head and have him talk to me like Sir Alec Guinness. 'C'mon, Ewan. Say it. Say it just like Alec does. Say, 'Use the force, Luke.' [pause] Oh yeaaahhhhhh, baby. Was that good for you too?'"
	Visual Stimuli: The Matrix, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Devil's Advocate, Johnny Mnemonic, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (Hey, they went to hell, they time-traveled, there were evil robots -- it counts!) Oh, Keanu. Much-maligned, beautiful, theatrically-challenged Keanu. How do we love thee? Explains one panelist: "Who cares if I can't spell his name or pronounce it correctly? Have you seen this man in a wetsuit? I'd peel him like a grape." However, one panelist was less-than-convinced: "Keanu does not pass the shirtless test. He has a total girly-man chest." For the rest of us, though, the glory of Keanu can be summed up as such: "He's Eye Keandy. Plain and simple. Much like his intellect. Or so I've heard."
	Visual Stimuli: Space: Above and Beyond, The X-Files, Welcome To Paradox. "Coincidentally, Rodney has been voted 'Most Likely to Serve Me With a Restraining Order' again this year," notes one of our panelists. And for good reason -- Rodney was the guy so droolworthy he even got Scully to go out on a date. But it's his role as Space's Cooper Hawkes that provokes, well, this reaction: "I ovulate every time he winks at Shane in the 'Pilot.' I slide out of my seat whenever he pulls on the 'First to Go, Last to Know' shirt in 'And If They Lay Us Down To Rest.' I watched and taped an entire season's worth of episodes of 'Crapisola: Written on Crack' in SP mode! On high quality and expensive video tapes!! Um, and I ordered the J. Crew catalog for everyone in my office so I could have multiple...er, copies."
