Yeah, i'm getting urge to watch horror movies too. I have watched a few in the last month though. Trying not to watch anymore until October. I know by the end of the month last year, I wanted a break.

As explained in post one, no need for debate unless you really want it. If you want to count it, count it. As long as it is close, no one is going to chastise you.

Added to post #2 for easier access.

No clue, but there's a good thread over at HorrorDVDs that comments on several of the "budget packs" including those.

zombiefistfight (love the name, by the way), I always look at the genre listings on IMDB to help for those crossover titles. There's usually a long list, and if it includes horror, or something close, it should count. There are a few other websites that are handy for reference too.

Yeah, I think this was discussed last year and they're allowed -- of course the movie being featured has to be horror. Many of those films are not available elsewhere, so you can't find the regular versions easily anyway.

Chad. I"m def in for passing off the 4 I mentioned however you see fit, just let me know the winner(s) come time. They're not great, but it's better then nothing, and it's in the name of a fun contest.

Can you delete item #3 or #6 from your list since they're duplicates. Thanks.

How does this work on 100 Years of Horror. It's a very long documentary, would the whole thing count as one, or would each indvidual "episode" or "part" count as one each?

Giles

'Starship Troopers' - I'd qualify that as Sci-Fi action - where's the horror you speak of??

nodeerforamonth

eh... it is fairly gory. I love gore and have a fairly strong stomach for it, but I almost felt ill after watching it.

Brian Jones

I accept this challenge. I predict I will start out strong and lose interest as Halloween nears. I'll try not to do that, though.

Penh

Well, I just found out about this nifty challenge thing, and since I watched nine horror movies last weekend while working on assorted projects (The Abominable Dr. Phibes, Dr. Phibes Rises Again, Theater of Blood, Count Yorga, The Crawling Eye, The Flesh Eaters, The Prowler, The Night Stalker, & the Night Strangler), I think I'm up to it. Plus, it'll help me work through my backlog of unwatched DVDs.

reached 103 last year hope I can make it that far again this year

Starship Troopers 2 is more in the horror genre than the first movie. IMDB is usually a good place to check this.

Darth Maher

From imdb:

Starship Troopers is borderline. It's no ET, though. Don't forget, cross-genre films are allowed. We were generally counting giant bug movies in with horror, as the science fiction is just the excuse for the premise. The giant bugs are meant to be horrific. I lean towards inclusion rather than exclusion and there's quite a bit of horrific-ness in it.

Chad

Much appreciated. And it's totally up to you on how you wanna go about giving 'em away. But again, there's absolutely no rush and we'll have plenty of time to come up with something when it's over.

The whole thing only counts as one. Although, this particular horror documentary allows for an exception:



The two-hour condensed version.

Darth Maher

Holy cow. This thread is 7 pages long already and we're only a little over half-way through September. Should there be a new thread JUST for list discussion once the challenge has started?

I just realized that the discussion thread from last year is 31 pages. How fitting.

I've been saving up a ton of horror discs all summer long, so I'm primed and ready to go 10/1. My goal last year was a measly 20, so I'm hoping to top that by at least 10 this time around.

The only things that could hold me back are 1) I have to take the multistate professional responsibility exam (a portion of the bar exam) in early November and 2) I have to work on my thesis (a graduation req.) for law school...

EdTheRipper

As the days pass, I'm getting a bit more excited about this. I've been stockpiling horror flicks for the past few weeks and there are quite a few I'm really looking forward to watching.

The Monkees

I've been watching commentaries and documentaries to avoid watching any of my movies.

Giles

I agree I've been watching some featurettes and other extras on my 'horror' discs.

Cardsfan111

Hey, isn't October when we set the clocks back an hour at some point? Well, with that extra time I'm thinking I might give this a shot!

RobCA

Nope, it's the first weekend in November.

I'm really looking forward to this challenge, can't wait to get started.

Rob

Darth Maher

I think they pushed the setting the clocks ahead to the first week in November.

Devils Rejects
The Stuff
Sublime
Sleepaway Camp

thats mainly what im starting with..i love b movie horror and would love some reccomendations here to stay away from the ultra terrible stuff

RobCA

I set up a filter in my DVDSpot collection, so I can keep track of which ones I still need to watch, and to make sure I don't forget any too. Hope it helps.

BTW, I'm assuming horror-related comedies count? The Addams Family movies, Beetlejuice, etc. I counted them last year, I assume it was okay to?
