<sup>100 Movies. 31 Days.</sup> October 1st - 31st, 2010
THE ORIGINAL SHIT-TON OF FUN.
___________________________________________________________________
RE-VISIT THE PAST |
THIS THREAD IS FOR DISCUSSION ONLY!
THE "RULES" | |
Since 2005 the goal of the challenge has been to reach 100 horror films in a month's time. Obviously this is not an attainable goal for everyone, so your personal goal is as high or as low as you choose. Whether it's achieved, surpassed, or not even close to being reached, the ultimate goal here is to enjoy yourself while conversing with fellow horror fans. | |
As always, there will be a separate list thread posted roughly 2 weeks prior to the start date. Be creative and personalize your list however you wish - give reviews, post pics, link to your blog or start one on your page, provide IMDB links with your titles, add YouTube videos, include running times (calculating total times is up to you), etc. The forum software now allows for unlimited post length, although you're still welcome to post it in a weekly or biweekly format. It's also highly recommended that you provide a link to the list in your signature for easier access. The only mandatory rule here is NUMBER YOUR LISTS! | |
If you're uncertain of the title's genre classification the IMDB and allmovie are the go-to sources for determining its potential horror movie status. Of course, both sites have been known to make the occasional error and if you feel that's the case asking in the discussion thread is advised. Just keep in mind that the main deciding factor regarding what counts is you and you alone.
Every facet of horror counts: Horror-comedies, Sci-Fi horror, wretchedly bad horror [Insert Current Remake Here], kiddie horror, creature features, erotic horror, Masters of Horror, silents, made-for-TV movies, etc. | |
Sometime in November there will be a results thread posted. If you wish to be included in the stats provided (aside from your number ranking), please include the following in your list: - First time viewings. The ☼ is a commonly used symbol. - Formats viewed. (BD, DVD, HD DVD, etc.) Blue text is often used to indicate Blu-rays. - Your personal goal. Even if it happens to be the challenge's goal of 100. | |
Something might go here eventually. Stay tuned! | |
The formats and how you watch them is strictly your call -- DVD, Blu-ray, HD DVD, at the theater, on television, public domain downloads (links provided below), VHS, Laserdisc, Video On Demand, Netflix, UMD, MiniDV, CED, Unbox, through your neighbor's window, Apple TV, Watch Instantly, Hulu, Youtube, Payperview, Betamax, via laptop, netbook, VCD, Android phone, iPhone, iPad...you name it. And yes, that even includes the pan & scan edited-for-television movies that air on TBS with multiple pop-ups and commercial interruptions (NOT recommended!). Just make sure the film is viewed in it's entirety. | |
Keep it civil. We're here to have fun, so please don't take this thing too seriously. | |
You're welcome to include non-genre titles viewed during the month in your list, but please don't number them. |

Your OP always manages to get me pumped up, Chad...though I must admit, it doesn't take much. For the last several years, I've found myself avoiding horror films throughout the year saving them for October.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 6th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/3
I agree with cardsfan - The opening post made me wish it was October 1st!Might I suggest we try and get the 31 films decided sooner than later so that people can coordinate getting titles that they might not own or have access to?

Awesome job on the OP, Chad. I wish I knew how to put a table in a post. I've wanted to a few of times over the years.

Thanks for the TCM schedule, Chad. I would've liked to see some new additions (I'm guessing TCM never has rights to show Universal product) but it's cool to see them add plenty of Hammer titles.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 6th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/3
No kidding!!!
However, as I mentioned in the previous thread, I'm probably going to start early. Kind of a warm-up before the real thing. I always seem to spend the week before getting super-excited and then get really busy at the start of the challenge therefore not starting until a week or so late.
NOT THIS YEAR!!
When I want to watch horror, I'm gonna watch horror!
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya, I kinda double posted. But I figured that nobody is going to go to that thread now that this one is up.

I'm always in for this one! Won't be very active this year (first year with a full time job) but I'm going to try and do my best. My goal is currently 50, but hope to do more.

I'm excited. I haven't done this since the first time I was in on it. I think it was the first year of this challenge. But I'm excited to do this again. Expecting 50 with a stretch goal of 75.

Reserved. I'm not looking to do as well as I had before. I've been able to increase my score every year
I don't see that happening this time.
