Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
My suggestion for a theme night "It Scared The Living Crap Out of Me When I Was a Kid". Revisit a film that you remember from your youth and see if it still scares you. It may be a timeless classic, or more than likely a film that is so bad that you say "I can't believe I was scared by that!"
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.

Although would "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" actually count for the challenge??

I just ordered the Scream Factory release of Stung, and I have my prize from last year, Mosquito, set aside. I know creature features is a popular theme, but have we ever done Killer Insects? There are probably plenty of options, and it could be a topical theme in the height of Zika mania.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
It's a real shame such a milestone theme like the Happy 100th, Uncle Forry doesn't have a better link. I was hoping for something better organized like the 35th Ann Fango theme from a couple years back, but no such luck. I seriously doubt anyone wants to click a few dozen times to find what they're looking for.
Added.
Added. And we have competing similar themes: Prequels vs Prequel/Original.
Yes. A later film that's a prequel to the original is what I meant.

D'oh! I just decided to check if a horror challenge thread was up yet, and I've already missed a lot. I've got some catching up to do.

Only 8 subset spots remain!
And just added another theme suggestion: Stranger Things -&- Unconventional Movie Monsters.
Basically films like Killer Klowns, Death Bed, Microwave Massace, Rabid Grannies, Frogs, Uzumaki’, Squirm, Hausu, Rubber, Chopping Mall (9/27 Blu-ray release) ...you get the point.

Theme Voting has started!
- This is for both new and returning themes.
- If you've already voted, no problem. Just remember there's been quite a few additions in the past few days, so please recheck the suggestions list on post 2 periodically.
- There's no limit to how many times you can vote, or how many themes you can vote for. The only "rule" is one vote per theme. You can do it in this thread, or if you prefer privately - PM or via email. Makes no difference to me.
- Also, keep in mind that some themes have unfinished or better lists/links coming such as Dark Shadows 50th Anniversary, Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, and more.
- Certain themes will have to be combined with another theme or two if they don't provide enough titles.
- And finally, don't hesitate to keep the theme suggestions coming if you have them, which brings me back to what was said earlier -- recheck the list periodically.
