Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 8th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/3
It's officially time (well, for me it has been for the past couple weeks) to start stockpiling horror and holding off on watching genre titles.
I fucking love this challenge. I take it so seriously that buying new horror movies feels like it's part of my JOB. Which, of course, also makes it extremely easy to justify said purchases.

Dunkin Donuts now has their pumpkin flavored coffee beverages in store; not on par with Stabucks but worth a try. Pumpkin donut probably soon if not already out.
Edit: Apparently Starbucks' pumpkin spice flavor will be out tomorrow.
I'd count by nipple visibility.

The last week of so if I've had a horror urge I've used it on something I've wanted to re-watch. It opens up a spot for a first time viewing

Since I'm (Mostly) going to be watching stuff that I've been piling up on my DVR (i.e, straight-to-dvd movies) this means I'll have to put the checklist aside this year. I might be able to work out the Theme Nights though.

Looking back over the checklist I suggest removing "takes place in space" because there are not a ton of space based horror films and they tend to be more sci-fi heavy (covered better in sci-fi challenge). Also "extraterrestrial" sort of duplicates the space item but is also more general/accessible (although "extraterrestrial" might itself be a sub-category under "creature feature" so redundant). I'm least excited about the sci-fi stuff invading the horror challenge.
It might be good to add "watch a short film" (not sure if that was one there before). Maybe also substituting above with "deathly inanimate object" (1, 2, i.e. Deathbed, Christine, Killer Condom, The Mangler, etc), "power tool weapons," (1, 2, i.e. TCM, Slumber Party Massacre, Driller Killer, Toolbox Murders, City of the Living Dead, etc) or "telekinesis" (1, 2, Firestarter, Scanners, Carrie, Rubber, etc). Maybe even "inspired by "true" events" (1, 2, 3; i.e. Amityville Horror, TCM, The Entity, etc)

Gonna watch Frankenhooker during the Horror challenge, and it will be a first time view for me.

And I see your point regarding the space items, but I don't think we should alter the checklist because something is covered more in another challenge. Many of us don't even participate in the sci-fi challenge (I don't). I can maybe see combining the two, "Watch a movie in space or with an extraterrestrial," but science fiction is a very important part of the horror genre. It makes sense for that to be a checklist item.
Do you also think we should remove the "Takes place on a holiday" item from the checklist since it comes so near the Holiday Challenge? I just don't think other challenges should be factoring into our decision-making that much. Besides, the checklist is optional, and you could fulfill all the checklist items that lean toward science fiction with one movie.

Don't know if this would qualify for the "venture into the literary world" but I just found a link to download the script for an unproduced Puppetmaster film written after the third movie was released. It's at http://www.jaywoelfel.com/puppetwarsnotes.html at the bottom of the page if anyone's interested.

I need some help-I saw a movie on YouTube that I failed to bookmark, and I don't have it in my previous October lists. The plot concerns a man who is attacked by a creature in a rural cabin, which makes his touch become deadly. Anyone he touches burns to death, and any objects he touches also become deadly. Any ideas? It was released sometime in the 80s.

Is anyone else planning on programming their own theme days? I have a couple in mind:
VHS-only releases
1981 (inspired by an issue of Horror Hound)

Since then, I've bought Brain Damage and Frankenhooker, both of which I saved for this year's challenge. Basket Case 3 is being re-released on dvd by Synapse in Oct, as well as a blu ray region free trilogy released in the UK late October.

Basket Case is better than Frankenhooker, but Frankenhooker is still tons of fun.
Also how about the "literary world" category counting if you're working on a piece of it be it screenplay or story for novel/novella?

Poor Dwaine.
Balial in space could make a fitting part 4. Part 4's always lend themselves better to space travel anyway, like Leprechaun 4 or Hellraiser 4.
