Note: Due to work-related time constraints I was unable to include everything I would have liked to. This unfortantely is referring to several stats (above and under your name) as well as comments I'd originally intended on including. Apologies If you have missing quotes or tidbits of info underneath your name, just realize it's NOT because of your lack of witty repartee or that you had nothing even remotely interesting to say ....I'd simply prefer to have this up before Christmas rolls around.
Hopefully this idea (the bolded section) will come to fruition next year and we'll have stats coming out the wazoo. Volunteers welcome.

Congrats, poster mayhem, that's really impressive! And thanks to Chad for taking the time to do this every year, and for always doing it so well.

It was a blast - didn't think I'd finish so high! I really enjoyed watching junk like Killer Party and Night of the Bloody Apes, films I'd normally avoid like the plague. The challenge also gave me the motivation to track down titles I'd always wanted to see, like I Was a Teenage Werewolf and The Uninvited. Now, thanks to Chad, when people ask me the worst film I've ever seen, I can answer "Grotesque", confidently and without any hesitation.

Also the Holiday Movie Challenge begins on the 24th NOT the 17th, that's my fault I haven't gotten a mod to change the thread title.

indeed. Did I really post that much? Sorry everyone.Watched a bit more than I would have liked, but got sucked into it as usual. Everyone here makes these things a blast, and I'm looking forward to our next challenge. Proud that I mainly stuck to first time viewings, really trying to watch my collection instead of just buying stuff. And if anyone has never been to a film festival, I heartily recommend them.
Chad, we're all lucky to have someone like you leading this thing. You continually go above and beyond. I can't imagine the time you put into this stat compiling. I apologize for not stepping up and pushing forward that "stat team" idea. I was a little burnt out and avoided the forum a bit the last week or so. Next year we'll help you out more.
Thanks again to you and everyone else for a fun month of horror.
Edit to add: My own fault for not properly numbering my list (don't think we should number above 100), but my countable total was only 139, and 121 first-time viewings.

How'd that happen? 164 movies would've only been 9th place last year.

If the Cubs would have made it a little farther, I would have been plagued by this very tough question: Watch the Cubs in the world series or watch Claw of Terror?

Holy crap! I won a prize then? Thats cool if so.
This was my first year of the challenge and I gotta say i enjoyed the hell out of it. I have to give special thanks to my beautiful wonderful girlfriend who loves horror movies even more than I do and who helped me with the challenge a great amount.
I loved that the challenge helped me watch many great (and not so great) films I have owned for years but have never watched until this challenge. Thanks to all who set this challenge up. I cant wait to participate next year as well.

Actually in context it sounds weird too.
Maybe I'm just weird.
No wonder nobody replies to my posts.
3. Two kids who won't go to bed when they are supposed to and it wears you out to the point that you are too exhausted to even watch a movie when they finally do get to bed.

To everyone that met their personal goals, if it was 1 or 100 or more, congratulations! This was a lot of fun.
I managed to review around 175 of the films I watched, but when I decided to up my viewing they were dropped. And yes, I was feeling pretty insanse towards the end, the last two days alone I watched between 18 and 19 hours each day.
I can pretty much guarantee that I'll participate again next year but with a much more reasonable goal. Largely because I doubt I'll be able to take the month off (I'm paying for it now having to work lots of extra hours to make up work) and also because many of the Masters of Horrors episodes, the lengths of which made this possible, really weren't things I'll want to watch again. I haven't watched a horror film since October, not that it has put a bad taste in my mouth, but a break was necessary. On to next year!

Not sure what the "formatting" thing means, unless it came from this comment on my list post:
"It's a short list, and nothing fancier than just a plain list of titles."
...and I can TOTALLY identify with one of the previous posters, as I also have a wife who doesn't care for horror movies (or ANY movies, for that matter), and a 2-year old who keeps me plenty busy! It does tend to hinder your movie-watching!

Thanks for pointing that out for all to see, Chad.
