The 2nd Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" Awards Ceremony
Please take a moment to provide feedback for next year's challenge:
Help Determine the Outcome of Next Year's Challenge Alright, sorry for the slight delay folks...blah blah blah. My apologies to anyone who I may have missed or provided an incorrect total...although it's most likely due to a) not updating your list, b) not numbering your list, or c) forgetting altogether to include a list! But, if you reply with a complete NUMBERED list intact I just might find it in my heart to update accordingly...eventually. :D Now without any further adieu.... Code:

Congrats to everyone. My movie watching slowed down and then died in the end thanks to coaching water polo this year. but hey my guys placed second in leeague.

NO problem on the email, had fun. Bummed i didn't get more in, but I got some major things finished in October. Congrats to everyone
|
I'm ecstatic to have come out on top. This was a real blast for me to participate in. I got to watch a lot of movies I'd never seen before as well as a few old standbys. Truly a good time and I look forward to competing again next year.
Special thanks to Chad for overseeing this whole thing. I can only imagine how time consuming it must have been. Also, thanks to ViewAskewbian for providing the dvd. I've never seen The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and am looking quite forward to it. For my shipping info, you can contact me at edtheripper @ gmail.com Thanks! |

32nd. onebyone – 47 Congrats to those who kicked my ass and thanks a lot for running this. It made my usual Halloween horror marathon even more fun than usual. |
Congrats to everyone and props to Chad for compiling this. It was just as draining reading the results as it was doing this marathon for me!
|
Yes, a great time was had. Ed, I will write shortly to get your contact info and get your disc out to you. :)
|
Shouldn't this be retitled "Those who have no life"? :)
|
Not to nitpick, but I came it at exactly 26 films... and I did number my list:

Congrats, Ripper! :thumbsup:
Thanks, Chad! I can't believe I'm watching horror movies tonight.-rolleyes- |
The first couple of weeks I didn't think I'd make it to 100 but the TV schedule was so good this year between TCM and AMC I stuck with it and really had a lot of fun. I'm still catching up on Zzz though, last month I watched movies almost every night and would only get 4 or 5 hours of sleep.
|
I can honestly say that was the most exhausting challenge ever! It really took alot out of me. I am so behind on my new/unwatched dvds. Next year I will only watch 100. I am going to rank my my favorite 100 and start a countdown to number 1 ending up on Halloween October 31, 2007. That will give me something to look forward to next year! Congrats to everyone! :toast:
|
Congrats to all, yo.
|
congrats to everyone who took part in the challenge and especially to the winner and all of those who got past 100 movies. It was fun
|
Congrats to those winners. Thanks for the comment Chad.
I'm so pissed that I only ended up with ten reviews on here. I ended up seeing about 26 films, but as always, school work and real work prevented me from completing the task in the way I wanted to. There's always next year. |
Congrats to all the winners. I had a blast this year. Can't wait until next year.
|
Congratulations to all.
As noted, I'll came in at embarrassing 13 total movies. I blame it on watching like 8-9 of the worst ones in my collection first, blowing out my drive to watch more. I watched mostly remakes first, planning on getting to the originals later, and that turned out to be momentum killer. Next year, only quality originals, and skipping all but the first 1-2 Friday the 13th movies etc. Sitting through the Fog remake, House on Haunted Hill remake, Texas Chainsaw Remake etc. was brutal, and required me to split the movie over multiple days making a respectable number impossible to achieve. I'll be back, and get my 31 next year! |
It was fun. Thanks for taking the time to oversee, Chad... that must have been more work than actually watching the movies!

Congrats to the top 3.
I ended up getting way too busy with school and work, and with most of the free time I had, I ended up playing video games. I didn't do too well in the challenge, but maybe I'll have more time next year, or once I'm done school. |
Well, in the spirit of this, it was perfect that I only listed 1 so I could come in at 66... :D
