Congratulations HyperWeather and everyone who at least met their goal last year.

Thanks to The Monkees for taking the time to manage this challenge. Like Trevor said, better late than never with the results.

One question, was last year's challenge #6 or #7? The title of the topic says #6 but your post says #7.

That's pretty judgmental for a guy who took a year to get back with the results... all in good fun. This year if I participate I will best my prior record of 3. Now back to horror movies.

This last year was #6. I think he just cut and pasted the graphic/text from the new main discussion thread for this coming year's Challenge.

Is that the one that was available in a double pack recently? Comes bundled with a Monsters vs. Aliens Christmas disc?

Whoops!

I didn't realize that! I was working on the results page AND this years thread at the same time and didn't realize I didn't change it back to "6th", but I fixed it now

Big Lots here has had Christmas stock out for at least 3 weeks... I keep expecting the "Christmas in July" sale to actually *be* trees, decorations, paper, etc.

I know there's a Halloween one (Scared Shrekless) with Monsters v Aliens, but don't know about an X-mas one. I got it used from Hastings.
