Did you know that at least 3 people watched Sleepaway Camp 2 last Friday? What are the odds of that?

If you do win this year, you might as well put an asterisk next to your signature since you've got more than a few doubters amongst us. Bask in your obviously hard-earned victory, champ!

So true.... I still might win. I plan on writing down every horror movie I've ever seen and including them.

I can list the running times and show how I fit them all in if people want, I don't mind, I just have to hunt them all down since some of them were on a website for free watching and not on DVD.

IMBD has a running time for all those movies coming in at 18.25 hours and this is counting the r-rated versions of movies, not the longer uncut ones.
If you started at 2am and your last edit to your list was at about 1:30pm, I would like to learn how to fit 18.25 hours of movies into 11.5 hours.
I haven't watched any of those movies for my list yet, so if there's a way to do it in that time, I'd like to give it a shot.

Brain that Wouldn't Die - the site says 82 minutes, but I clocked it at 75, so from 2:00 AM-3:15 AM
Two Evil Eyes - 3:15-5:05
Ju-On 2 - 5:05-6:21
The Grudge 2 - 6:21 - 7:45
Last Man on Earth - 7:45 - 9 AM
Stay Alive - 9 AM - 10:20
Gamera: Guardian - 10:20 - 11:50
Dead Silence - 11:50 - 1:15
Halloween - 1:15 - 2:35
Halloween 2 - 2:35 - 3:50
Halloween 3 - 3:50 - 5:15
Halloween 4 - 5:15 - present
Now while I've been watching I've gone pee a few times and updated my list, and yes, I listed Halloween 4 even though I'm not done with it yet, and I have gone into the kitchenette to get food (the TV is clearly visible from there) and grabbed chips and such for snacks, but I've been watching movies all day. Such is life when I have 3 days off and no life to speak of.

On a side note, is this the first year sour apples have called foul? Did the first two years run without a hitch or claims from the overwhelmed of false list reporting?

I don't think I'll be cramming like this again because my brain is really fuzzy right now so some of the times might not be exact, but I remember vaguely what the clock said when I put the movies in because I was racing to see how many I could cram (also I had an itinerary planned, so when I added some to the list I hadn't started watching them yet, they were just the ones I have planned, but I might take a break after Halloween 5 and get some sleep because I'm starting to crash).

I guess the first or second year, people had stuff like Family Guy and wrestling shows in their lists.
Most of the fighting was around if E.T. and other non-horror movies were horror.

I'd hesitate to call anyone overwhelmed if I were you. The month's not over by a long shot. Who knows...someone else may come along with a make believe list that blows your make believe list out of the water!

Can I just express my love for Halloween 4? I think it's my favorite after the original...it's just so cool to have a little kid as a main character, it adds so much terror for me (I take care of kids a lot so it's creepy for me). I'm looking forward to seeing if part 5 holds up to how much I loved it the first time I saw it. Probably not! When I was 10 I loved JAson Takes Manhattan, if that tells you anything.

Does you guys count Red Dragon as horror? If silence of the lambs is I don't see why this prequel wouldn't be. If not I'll count it as a wild card. I watched that at work 
I'm now working on The shining and not sure what else I'll watch tonight. I'm really tired today.

Also as far as I'm concerned, there was not one questionable movie on my list last year. I stuck to the horror guidelines with no issues to speak of. Here's the link to my list in case you'd actually like to check it out instead of just speaking blindly on it.

Wow. I'm just pacing myself to hit 100 and I'm right at my numbers. At least the people with the huge numbers admit to having the time to do it. If I recall correctly, one person last year was hitting 18-21 hours a day (I even added up the running times, myself), everyday, for a few weeks and somehow still managed school and a job, which I found somewhat suspicious. Some of us are lucky enough to have jobs where we can have movies going (with judicious use of the pause button, I can usually get through 2 over an 8 hour shift), but I don't think school will put up with it. Anyway, hope you guys don't get burned out. I'm really enjoying the challenge this year.

So, you can keep your asterisk.

i don't understand all the arguing over whose list is real or fake. the winner to me is the biggest loser because he/she has TOO much free time to be watching horror movies instead of actually having a social life, or a job for that matter.
