I'll give it a shot. I still have the Dracula and Frankenstein Legacy sets unopened from last fall. Good chance to check them out. Doubt I'll make it to 100 though.

No way I'll hit 100 but I'll give it a shot.

Question: You mentioned "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", so I assume that other horror-ish movies are allowed to count too. Like Rocky Horror Picture Show, Beatlejuice, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc?

This is here to hold my place
I'll be surprised if I make it to 50 this year, but I want to surprise myself and I'll go for...60. stinking school.

"It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" is considered horror-ish???
I personally would not include it in my list as a horror movie but I guess to each his own. Since this is a competition for fun I figure each person kinda makes their own rules as they go along. But if it came in as a tie between someone who actually watched horror movies and someone who won because of a Charlie Brown cartoon, I would have to go with the former person as the winner.
My personal rules: It has to be a full length horror film (sci-fi horror, certain suspense/thrillers are included). The movie has to be intentionally scary and not a comedy with some "horror" elements (sorry Saturday the 14th or Scary Movie fans). It can be a horror movie that includes humor but that is not it's mainstay (such as Fright Night). I personally would not include Masters of Horror in my list because it is a TV show and they are not full-length films. I also don't consider a documentary or watching a film with a commentary to qualify for my list.
But again, these are rules for myself and I don't expect others to follow them. Some people included all kinds of crap in their list from last year but since I am technically competing with myself it doesn't matter in the end.
