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.
Now without any further adieu....

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!
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.

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.

Not to nitpick, but I came it at exactly 26 films... and I did number my list:

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!

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.

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!

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.
