What is This Thing? Since its inception in 2005 the goal of this challenge has been to reach 100 horror films in a month's time. Obviously that's not an attainable goal for everyone, so your personal goal is of your choosing. Whether it's achieved, surpassed or beyond your reach, the ultimate goal here is to enjoy yourself while conversing with fellow genre fans. | |||||||||
Creating a List. As always, there will be a separate list thread posted roughly 2 weeks prior to the October 1st 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, etc. The forum software now allows for unlimited post length, although you're still welcome to post it in a weekly or biweekly format. Also be aware the image limit has been raised from 25 to 35 since the last challenge. And it's not a bad idea to provide a link to the list in your signature for easier access. The only mandatory rule here is NUMBER YOUR LISTS! | |||||||||
What Counts? If you're uncertain of the title's genre classification the IMDB and AllRovi (formerly allmovie.com) are the go-to sources for determining its potential horror movie status. Need more confirmation? A third and fourth option exists and that is FlickChart (requires free sign up) and TMDB. Of course, any site is prone to the occasional error and if you feel that's the case asking in the discussion thread is advised. Just keep in mind that the #1 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 / XXX horror, Masters of Horror, silents, made-for-TV movies, etc. | |||||||||
The formats and how you watch them is strictly your call -- Blu-ray, DVD, Netflix Watch Instantly, HD DVD, at the theater, on television, public domain downloads (links provided below), VHS, Laserdisc, Video On Demand, Netflix disc-by-mail, UMD, MiniDV, CED, Amazon Instant Video, through your neighbor's window, Roku, Nexus Q, Apple TV, a Boxee Box, Hulu, Youtube, Payperview, Betamax, via laptop, netbook, VCD,
| |||||||||
This row has remained empty since 2010! | |||||||||
You're welcome to include non-genre titles viewed during the month in your list, but please keep them separate from your qualifying entries and don't number them. | |||||||||
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 ☼ thing is a commonly used symbol. - Formats viewed. (BD, DVD, NWI, etc.) - Your personal goal ...even if it happens to be the challenge's goal of 100. | |||||||||
Keep it civil. The intention here is to have fun, so please don't take this event started by a guy with just a little too much time on his hands that seriously. |

The day Chad posts the OHMC discussion thread is my second favorite day of the year. The day he posts the results thread is my favorite.

Last October was my first-ever Challenge. I tried to get through the entire Godzillaverse and sputtered out around the fifth film. Not this year! This year all forty something of them! And Mara Corday too!

it's funny i wasn't going to make a post because you hadn't done your usual extra 1 or 2 placeholders but i noticed your original post was like 8 minutes prior so i assumed you didn't need it.

Glad to see the thread up! Countdown begins.
Good news about Mondo Macabro sponsoring; they're a great label... I've got a bunch of Mondo Macabro movies saved up for the challenge.
That banner is the busiest one yet, looks interesting.

Very cool banner! Looking at it, I had a sudden flashback to my childhood - does anyone remember those foldout boards that looked like background matte paintings, that you could affix G.I. Joe character stickers to and create scenarios with? At least, I think they were G.I. Joe characters - I only have a vague vision in my mind's eye.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 8th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/3
Alright! I haven't been around the boards much in the last six months (basically the lives of my family and I have completely upturned pretty comprehensively) but I saw the notice come out over the Facebook group and it reminded me to check in. At first I was worried because I actually have a job this year (thankfully) but just last week I got a portable video player and I've been able to watch movies during my entire shift. Even though my collection is in storage on the other side of the country, I think I'll still be able to kick-ass this year. Can't wait.

Can't wait, got so many new dvds/blus to watch.
If all goes according to plan, I'll have 19 days out of the 31 off from using casual/vacation days. I love the look I get when I tell my coworkers my plans for using so many vacation days "just gonna sit on my butt and watch horror movies"

Really hope I can participate this year. Last year was so busy I knew I wouldn't have time to watch many films.
This coming fall I am only taking one (last) class but I'm busy filling out tons of College Applications.
