I only gave my opinion on the wild card issue because it was brought up in response to my question about whether anthology shows count. As I said before, if they don't, I'll stick to movies. It's really not a big deal to me.

I think personally the 3 wild card rule should be inforced for the MOH short films, a simpsons halloween episode, twighlight zone stuff ect.
My question, suppose i want to watch the Steven King version of The Shining (that was a 3 night 90 minute miniseries) would that be included as a wild card or as a movie?

Yeah, I actually brought that up a couple posts ago. I don't believe someone should be punished for one title being so long. Unlike fantasy, there aren't three hour epic horror movies. Closest we have are miniseries, which are typically presented over 2 or more nights. Perhaps if a film is at least 3 hours it counts as 2 titles. This doesn't mean 2:30 horror films count as a film and a half. This is special for epic/miniseries. I suppose we could go by presentation on longer minis. Like a 4 night mini counts as 4 (wasn't The Stand 4 nights?).
