No. Chad didn't have time, a few of us volunteered to do a few stats. Ben and a couple others pulled together some stats. I was supposed to make a master list, but someone at work threw away my ten pages of hand written notes and I'm not about to do all that work again.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
Added another suggestion - Two-Faced Big Mouths with Dirty Dishes.
If there's enough it could be a good addition to the checklist. How many did he do?
I've been thinking about that recently and I'd say a minimum of 50 and maybe more. I realize that sounds like a high number, but after years of looking over lists I can tell you they're often full of fluff. Oftentimes they're full off hard-to-find, OOP titles, films that aren't available in Region 1/A, never made it past VHS, DVD featurettes, shorts, etc. Then there's the straight-to-video Z-grade Asylum type movies that not many want to bother with. And when there's more than one list provided there's usually multiple repeats.
That said, this one can definitely stand on its own.
I should probably mention now that it's unfortunately going to have to be the same this year, and for the foreseeable future.
I don't know... my link has 27 choices on it. I just think adding "sequels vs. remakes" waters it down too much and it's something that's been done often. There are SO MANY horror sequels and remakes. Picking one of the 25 (or probably more if I looked a little harder) prequels is more specific and interesting. What is the magic number where prequels could be its own theme? I'll see if I can find more.
That said, this one can definitely stand on its own.

The one on I Spit On Your Grave is one of my favorite commentaries of all time.
I vote Zombie Period Pieces and Terror in the Sewers then.

Just wanted to remind Chad that I'll volunteer to do a subset pick again this year, in case you missed it.

We did 'Subterranean Horror' back in 2012, so I"ll count it as a vote for that. And added Zombie Period Pieces, but it's only 22 titles and will need another theme or two tacked on if chosen.
My bad. You're added. That brings us up to 16!

And just to expand on the Joe Bob commentary idea...
What if, instead of just having a 'w/ commentary' or just a Joe Bob section, we did a 'Masters of Commentary' with John Carpenter, Joe Bob Briggs, Guillermo del Toro and whoever I'm missing for the checklist? Just an idea.

I like the Master of Comentary idea; especially as a theme night.

Also that list of zombie period pieces is not even close to comprehensive, lots of zombie westerns and WW2 movies and that Pride Predigest and Zombies that just came out.

I'll volunteer for a Subset pick. Although, feel free to bump me if somebody more active wants to participate and the spots are full.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
And we're up to 17 volunteers for the subset.
That could also work. I just realized it it were zombie only we'd have to tack it on to the zombies theme as an additional link (like were-creatures to werewolves and quiet/soft to the ghosts theme) since that's a mainstay that's been around since the beginning.
Well, if it does becomes a theme we'd have to allow the option to view these films minus the commentary. I seriously doubt everyone would want an entire day devoted to listening to commentaries only. And who else should we add besides John Carpenter, Joe Bob Briggs, and Guillermo del Toro?
Yeah, that was just a quick find on short notice. I'll try and find a better list.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
So for the Dark Shadows 50th Anniversary theme, I've created links for the first 37 cast members up to Dana Elcar. These are the individual links for everyone excluding those who only did a Dark Shadows movie or nothing at all like Alexandra Isles.
I will be providing a master list soon (of the ones I provided; way too many to add every single actor), and may have to add a few more actors because many only did a handful of horror films, if that.

For one of the subset picks or theme nights, maybe we can get sponsorship from a streaming service like Full Moon Streaming, Shudder, Screambox, Expolitation.tv, Fandor, etc. They can do a pick from their catalog and offer everyone a 24-hour guest pass.

We are now up to 18 subset volunteers. There's still some regulars that haven't volunteered, so do it already! I have to have your consent.
I'll definitely contact them. I know Vinegar Syndrome is behind Exploitation.tv, so maybe we could get a combination physical media / digital prize package. Worth a shot anyway.

Also, I've added links for the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards theme suggestion ...at least what I could find. The IMDB is mysteriously missing certain years, and I haven't had much luck elsewhere. If anyone has links for the 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007, or 2008 awards please share. And a single master list would be even better.

I'm obviously in for a subset choice if needed, but would rather defer to a first-timer.

That brings us up to 20 on subset volunteers! And duly noted there's a couple of you that will give up your spot if need be.
Also, deal alert if you missed the Blu-ray forum thread...
Wolf Man: Complete Legacy Collection (Blu-ray Disc) (Boxed Set) pre-order for $14.99 at Best Buy.

I don't get what people see in her. She's as plain in the interviews as she was in the show.
Too bad we didn't have this theme a few years ago when the giant box set came out. Took me nearly a year to get through.

Alexandra had an interesting life. She married into a banking family, got pregnant, then left the show. Divorced her husband and became a mistress to a guy that tried murdering his wife a couple times. Then she married someone else.

I bought the LE set back when in 2012, but just started watching back in February. Currently on episode 560 something, so not even half done, although close to being Vicki-free.

I've been pondering whether to start watching the episodes of Dark Shadows on Hulu.
