THE "RULES"
Since its inception in 2005 the goal of this challenge has been to reach 100 horror films in a month's time. Obviously that's not an attainable goal for everyone, so your personal goal is of your choosing. Whether it's achieved, surpassed or beyond your reach, the ultimate goal here is to enjoy yourself while conversing with fellow genre fans.
As always, there will be a separate list thread posted roughly 2 weeks prior to the October 1st start date. Be creative and personalize your list however you wish - give reviews, post pics, link to your blog or start one on your page, provide IMDB links with your titles, add YouTube videos, include running times, etc. The forum software now allows for unlimited post length, although you're still welcome to post it in a weekly or biweekly format due to the beyond annoying 25(?!) image limit. It's also highly recommended that you provide a link to the list in your signature for easier access.

The only mandatory rule here is NUMBER YOUR LISTS!


If you're uncertain of the title's genre classification the IMDB and AllRovi (formerly allmovie.com) are the go-to sources for determining its potential horror movie status.
Need more confirmation? A third and fourth option exists and that is FlickChart (requires free sign up) and TMDB.
Of course, any site is prone to the occasional error and if you feel that's the case asking in the discussion thread is advised.
Just keep in mind that the #1 deciding factor regarding what counts is you and you alone.

Movies = 1 entry (despite running time)

TV shows count according to length as they're aired on TV (including commercials):
30 minute shows = ¼ an entry
1 hour shows = ½ an entry
2 hour shows = 1 entry

Mini-Series = 1 entry for each day it aired

Commentaries count. (no restrictions)

Documentaries count.


MORE DETAILED INFO:
Spoiler:

Concerning TV shows and shorts films:

Like the other challenges, you need four 30 minute shows for 1 entry and two hour-long shows for 1 entry. 30 minute shows typically run roughly 22 - 24 minutes without commercials and hour-long shows are roughly 43 - 45 minutes. If it's short films that are 10 minutes or less, once you hit around 23 minutes of watching them, you've reached one 30 minute show (¼ an entry). Any combination that gets you to 90 minutes can be used for 1 entry. And this is not an exact science, so if you're off by a little it's really no big deal.

Simply Put:


Feature FilmsCounts as 1 entry
Short FilmsAdd them up to total 90 minutes to get 1 entry
Television ShowsAdd them up to 120 minutes (including commercials) to get 1 entry


When listing the TV shows try to keep them together in 1 entry.
Example: 30 min show/30 min show/30 min show/30 min show

For the sake of organization, it's advised that you keep a Temporary TV section at the bottom of your list until you get enough for an entry.

Why 90 minutes? To keep the continuity going with the other challenges.





Every facet of horror counts: Horror-comedies, Sci-Fi horror, wretchedly bad horror [Insert Current Remake Here], kiddie horror, creature features, erotic / XXX horror, Masters of Horror, silents, made-for-TV movies, etc.

The formats and how you watch them is strictly your call -- Blu-ray, DVD, Netflix Watch Instantly, HD DVD, at the theater, on television, public domain downloads (links provided below), VHS, Laserdisc, Video On Demand, Netflix disc-by-mail, UMD, MiniDV, CED, Amazon Instant Video, through your neighbor's window, Apple TV, a Boxee Box, Hulu, Youtube, Payperview, Betamax, via laptop, netbook, VCD, a smartphone, a tablet ...you name it. And yes, that even includes the pan & scan, edited-for-television movies that air on TBS with multiple pop-ups and commercial interruptions (NOT recommended!). Just make sure the film is viewed in it's entirety.
Someday something important will reside here.
You're welcome to include non-genre titles viewed during the month in your list, but please keep them separate from your qualifying entries and don't number them.
Sometime in November there will be a results thread posted. If you wish to be included in the stats provided (aside from your number ranking), please include the following in your list:

- First time viewings. The thing is a commonly used symbol.
- Formats viewed. (BD, DVD, NWI, etc.)
- Your personal goal ...even if it happens to be the challenge's goal of 100.
Keep it civil. The intention here is to have fun, so please don't take this event started by a guy with just a little too much time on his hands that seriously.



_______________________________________________________________________________________


OPTIONAL
THE CHECKLIST
THEME NIGHTS
31 FILM SUBSET
3 WILD CARDS
Complete it and feel a sense of accomplishment. The Expanded Checklist is here.

Please include within spoiler tags to keep the list thread from running a mile long.
Now in its third year, this adds daily "themes" with accompanying links to horror sub-genres, studios, actors, directors and even a group marathon with the intention of watching said content on the designated day. This year's list is here.
Watch these 31 films on the listed day, with group discussion starting the next morning or at your own leisure. Or don't watch them but still join the discussion.

Also, the threads from the 2009 Subset List , 2010 Subset List and even the HFC List can be used for individual discussion if desired. This year's list is here.
Use for titles that lie outside the horror genre and normally wouldn't qualify or for those questionable titles you're not 100% certain about. They can also be used to count titles that aren't intended to be included as a full entry (ie a leftover 30-minute TV episode or short film). You have three so use them wisely.
SEE POST 2 OR THE LIST THREAD FOR MORE DETAILS.

HELPFUL TIPS & VARIOUS LINKS



Provide a link to your list in your signature.
Review it. Even if it's just a mini-review, a simple thumbs up / thumbs down or one word description.
Create a list in advance of what you plan to watch utilizing a site such as:
iCheckMovies | Listal | Listology | FlickChart | Ranker.
If you're indecisive and can't decide what to watch next the List Randomizer (via random.org) can help.
If you're doing a checklist, putting it in a spoiler tag makes the list thread much easier to read.
Increase your coffee consumption.
Insomniac? Use your disadvantage to your advantage!
Work from home? Ditto.
Skip the supplemental material ...there's always November for that!
Boredom setting in? Watch another movie!
Stay within your comfort level and try not to get too caught up in the numbers.
ENJOY YOURSELF!

Extend the conversation by joining our new Facebook Page.
(The old group is being 'archived' ...whatever the hell that means.)




Extend it even further by joining our Google+ Circle.
Just ask if you need an invite.





In Memoriam. (2009 - 2011)




Xbox users -- Have a Netflix Party:

Spoiler:
Are you a Netflix subscriber with an Xbox gold membership? Wanna have a NETFLIX PARTY?
If so, post your gamertag or send it via PM to Mister Peepers.

SEND A FRIEND REQUEST TO DVDTalkHorror to join the parties.

Feel free to host a party whenever you want.
If you're watching something check the DVDTalkHorror friend's list and invite people!

Just go to Friends ---> DVDTalkHorror ---> Personal Profile ---> View Friends.
And then you can just invite whoever is online on that list into a party.
Recently, Microsoft updated the Netflix player on the 360. Among the changes is the addition called 'Netflix Parties'. Basically someone is a host and invites people to watch a movie together. Everyone watches it at the same time, and we can communicate w/ voice during the movie.

You need an Xbox 360, a gold account, and a Netflix subscription. There's only one catch: For right now, Starz Play and Disney movies are not allowed to be used for parties.

We can use this thread to pick out movies and times to watch them. We can try to vary things up.

While we can watch classics or stuff we've all seen, I think it would be interesting to check out stuff that the entire group may not have watched. We could even take a gamble and watch god knows what. I think even some riffing on intentionally bad movies could be good for a laugh if done sparingly.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 7th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (Oct 1-31) P

Was really disappointed by Noroi: The Curse, especially after the hype I'd heard elsewhere. There were a couple of cool moments, but overall I found it kind of boring.

I'm hoping to dive into some of the franchises next. I haven't seen anything with Freddy, Jason or Michael yet this year.

When we left the last thread, NoirFan was pressuring me into spending even more money this month. And I probably will, too.

And it forces people to check out the first page.

So imagine my surprise upon a viewing of The Beast. What I thought was a simple werewolf fairy tail turned out to have:

Spoiler:
Bestiality, rape, horses fucking and an ejaculating nymphomaniac werewolf! Yeah!


It's this strange combination of surreal Gothic arthouse and Euro-sleeze grindhouse comedy. Not that that even makes any sense.

Oh, do I have a special place in my heart for that film. I was so surprised to see iit listed on the BFI 100, #5 at that! This really sparked my love for European horror.

17 or so years ago I was mesmerized by the stills from that film as I poured over the pages of a book I had bought on a whim, Immoral Tales. Those images just fascinated me. I eagerly searched for any evidence that the film actually existed, and upon further urging from my wife, I finally found Midnight Video (RIP to it's hey-day) and ordered their import VHS copy, in French, no subtitles. Yep, my wife and I watched 93 minutes without understanding a word that was spoken. But the imagery, just beautiful. I’ve bought every edition since.

Once you get over the shock of some of the film's content, you should make an effort to step back a bit and really appreiate the mastery of image and presence of nightmare that Borowczyk creates, capturing true inception of primal fear and lust, effecting the viewer just as much as the players.

So much time has passed since I last watched Magic Cop, that I forgot what a great movie it is. The current HK movies may be slicker, but movies from the Eighties and Nineties just have an energy they often lack. After Mr Vampire Lam Ching Ying may have been a one trick pony, but what a pony!

Just finished Chromeskull: Laid To Rest 2. I believe it was takingchase who hit it on the head, the film is rather stale. It's a shame because I loved the first film.

+Almost Human FX outdoes themselves in the sequel. Great gore here!
+Chromeskull is still a great Slasher Villain
-Brian Austin Green. Really?
-Plot is extremely boring

Would watching Children of the Corn (1984) and it's 2009 made-for-tv remake back to back be redundant or is there enough of a style/content difference to warrant proximity in a marathon?

Yeah, once the initial shock wears off (if ever!) I'll give it another chance. It just took me totally by surprise. And reading a synopsis next time wouldn't hurt either.

First caught it on MonsterVision years back and it's one of the few films to genuinely creep me out.


...Next up is a werewolf double-feature: Dog Soldiers and Wolfen.

Just watched 'Doghouse' on Netflix. If you liked 'Shaun of the Dead' then you'll probably like this. Doesn't quite have the same comedy as 'Shaun', but has it's moments and the gore probably outweighs the comedy

Got to 25, The Cat (1992), a Wisely movie. Much better than the last Wisely movie I watched, THE WESLEY'S MYSTERIOUS FILE (2002) (what were they thinking). If I can keep us this pace I'll make my goal of at 50 by the end of the month.
