If anyone wants some fun cheesy family horror, the Goosebumps TV series is worth a look. I always enjoy watching some during the challenge (or any other time of year)

And since that theme is "my" night, I'd appreciate if you can keep it on a weekend day (Fri - Sun). My son was already making plans for watching a bunch of Puppet Master movies with me. But I second having it after the release date for Chucky. Maybe that weekend if possible; give people time to get their Amazon orders in (like me).

Or Are You Afraid of the Dark, which is on Amazon Prime. And with Goosebumps on Netflix, one could do some serious damage on kid's and tv shows with these two.

I honestly don't recall. But I know Treehouse of Horror and Community, for example, are favs for the Halloween watching. But the theme is central to Halloween and usually have an element of horror as well. Of course watching Halloween Chopped or Martha Stewart is a whole 'nother level (both of which I've WC'd in the past... but I felt so wrong and dirty doing so...).

I may be able to stream after all. While I was unable to upgrade my data limit on the wireless service I have now as I had the biggest plan. I ordered a plan from another carrier. Two plans is not going to cost anymore than it would have had I been able to upgrade my plan.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 9th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/3
And BTW, there seems to be some confusion for the challenge being horror and/or Halloween movies... It's a "Horror" challenge. Sure there's traditional fare that we watch like good 'ole Peanuts and any choice of a million other shows that have a Halloween episode, but the central idea here is HORROR... and Halloween if it's a central theme. If people start looking for what fits Halloween, well then we could start ending up with a lot of Wizard of Oz and Superman (for the Halloween costumes) and a heck of a lot of Doctor Who (because I was Tom Baker like three Halloweens in a row). We can find a little Halloween in just about everything if we look hard enough.
Wish I had some money..!

I've been AWOL lately (mainly due to life and work craziness), but if there are still volunteers needed for the Film Subset, count me in.
We're trekking the fam out to Disney World/Universal Studios next month so I won't get a ton of viewing in, but I'll be loading my iPad with horror to watch when my driving "shift" is over.
Do I get points for visiting haunted rides such as Haunted Mansion, Tower of Terror, and Halloween Horror Nights at Universal?

Definitely.
I've been getting too excited about this challenge lately. Decided to take a peek back at the first challenges, and it's crazy to see how things have changed.
The very first challenge was announced only 2 days before October... could you even imagine that happening now?

^ I really like how the lists have evolved. I thought I was cool for putting a "banner" at the top of my list back then.

I was considering making this a subset pick, but nixed that idea since there's always the chance Disney will have it pulled and it's only a VOD and limited theatrical release.
Oddly enough, yes.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 9th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/3
Here are some of my subset recommendations...
Farmhouse (horror harvest) - YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFogHuFQUOw
Dead Heat (1988, horror comedy) - Netflix Streaming: http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/De...?trkid=2361637
Brain Damage (1988, horror comedy) - YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrBWbX36_eY
A Haunting In Connecticut (2002) is a personal favorite made-for-tv horror movie (stand alone TV series pilot) based on a true story that I would recommend and fits several subset themes but I can't find it streaming or easily accessible.

I second the earlier pick of It Came From Beneath the Sea for Aquatic Horror, but I may be biased as I have easy access to it, owning it on DVD, and loving all of Harryhausen's work.

No giant-creature theme this year, correct? If so, I can quickly get Godzilla/King Ghidorah off the DVR this weekend.

SURELY there's a way that we can squeeze LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH in here somewhere. It's on YouTube, and it's very, very special.

A couple subset suggestions:
Slashers - Sleepaway Camp (1983) - Youtube (can't believe we haven't done this one yet!)
Evil Families - Blood Diner (1987) - Youtube
Haunted House - House on Haunted Hill (1959) - Netflix and Youtube

I watched it a couple of years ago for the challenge, expecting very little from a forgotten drive-in film, and I was completely floored by it. It's a lost gem with a terrific performance by Zohra Lampert. I'm not generally a fan of the is-she-crazy-or-is-this-for-real? style of horror, but Let's Scare Jessica to Death is one of the best horror films of the 70s.

I sure would love to see THE UNINVITED for the ghost/haunted house theme, but it's not being released until the 22nd, and TCM isn't showing it this year.
