I have a question about TV shows. I see that you need to watch 2 hours of a tv show for it to count as a movie, but that includes commercials. What if you're watching a TV show on Netflix, that originally aired with commercials? For example, I was thinking of watching The Walking Dead during October, which is a 45 minute show, but obviously doesn't have commercials when streaming Netflix. If I watch 2 episodes will that count for a movie?

Yeah that is how it works. The 2 hour requirement includes the commercial time so 2 1 hour (45-50 minutes without commercial) would equal a full entry.

and...

Hang tight. I'm currently working out what themes are still needed. In fact, I'll probably have to ask a few others for some more picks.

And the list so far is coming together nicely.

It's been placed under Erotic Horror.

I want to check out [REC]3 for the challenge.

You may just want to skip over it

I think I might just make a [REC] night. We should all line up some sort of viewing.

And Chad, if you need anymore help, let me know.

No release date for The Conjuring yet? Would like to have it for the challenge.

Despite the negative word of mouth, I too am curious about [Rec]3. The first two were great.The Conjuring releases on 10/22/13. Also confirmed by Amazon pre-order statement.

Alright, to make this as uncomplicated as possible, I'm going to give the people who need to provide more picks (or haven't at all), what unclaimed themes remain, and what I have so far of the subset list.

And can we PLEASE just get the remaining two one volunteers already? All you gotta do is pick some films that sync up with the themes I'm about to post and try to make sure they're streaming somewhere.

_______________________________________________

Everything's available streaming so far and I'd like to keep that going if possible.

And just for the record, Killer Tongue was streaming on YouTube, but only available with an Indian dub. Lips of Blood and Torso had no English subtitles available.

And if you'd prefer an assigned theme, here's what random.org paired you up with:

cwileyy ---> Halloween-Related
SterlingBen ---> Mystery Horror Films
islandclaws ---> "Inspired By True Events" Horror
Doc Moonlight ---> Made-for-TV Horror Movie
Darth Maher ---> Killer Monkeys/Gorillas/Jungle Horrors
terrycloth ---> The Splat Pack
mrcellophane ---> Evil Families -or- Class Warfare -or- Occult Detectives
alyxstarr ---> Death By Decapitation
Trevor ---> Ice Terrors

I'll volunteer to suggest some titles.

You're added. Thank you.

And that pairs you up with Telephone Terrors.

I figured a horror themed giveaway would be an appropriate reason for some shameless self promotion here. Later this week I'll be posting my blog's 300th entry and to celebrate and say thank you to everyone that has read it I'll be doing some sort of giveaway (I haven't decided what the prize will be yet) through the Facebook page. It won't be difficult and anyone that "likes" the page will be eligible to enter. This giveaway is totally separate from the prizes I'm sponsoring for the OHC but I figured some extra horror freebies are always fun.

Here's the link to the Facebook page where I'll be posting more details later this week. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cellu...54481607934543

Telephone Terrors:

The Caller(2011)Netflix streaming
Pulse(2001) Netflix streaming
Scream(1996) Netflix streaming also Scream 2 Scream 3 Scream 4
976-Evil 2(1992) youtube

One of my original picks would work for "Vampires," and is available for streaming on NetFlix Instant and Amazon Instant.
I guess you didn't like that suggestion, so I'll look for something for "Death By Decapitation."

I'll add "The Caller" since it was tailor-made for that theme.

No, just overlooked it. I'll add it and switch the remaining mystery subset volunteer to Death By Decapitation.

Cool, thanks. I don't know if it's any good, but it's been in my queue since at least last October, and I want to watch it while I can. Plus, it should be good for a few checks on the checklist (too bad "Watch an animated film" is no longer on it).

I'll take the last slot. Watch this spot; I'll be back after I dig up a couple streaming "death by decapitation" picks.

Okay, how 'bout Severance or Battle Royale -- both are streaming on Netflix, and it doesn't look like either has been a subset pick before.

Yay! One of my suggestions was acceptable!

Since we have also been making recommendations, I'd like to toss out another title: The Baby. It's available on Netflix streaming. I watched it a couple months ago after recording it off TCM. I wasn't expecting much, but I really liked it. It may not be the most frightening or the most graphic film out there, but I found it bizarre, genuinely creepy and disturbing. I'd be very interested to hear others' opinions on it.

Ok, I hear you need another pick from me! How about one of these:

Scream (Netflix Watch Instantly)
The Human Centipede (Netflix Watch Instantly)
Jack's Back (Netflix Watch Instantly)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Netflix)
Phantom of the Opera 1989 (Netflix)
Hatchet (Netflix)

for splat pack ill go with

The Devils Carnival or Insidious (wasnt sure if the later was already picked in the past) both are on netflix

edit saw devils carnival was already picked so ill go with insidous

I'd like to take Mystery Horror Films for the Subset and do "Mystery of the Wax Museum" (1933) which is on YouTube as well as the 1953 "House of Wax" DVD and Blu-Ray.

That is, as long as SterlingBen who was randomly assigned Mystery Horror Films doesn't mind. Otherwise I will make my pick for TV Horror as assigned.

And we have 31 volunteers!

Scream it is.

Looks like Netflix yanked Insidious and don't see it streaming elsewhere. Could you pick something else?

Cool.

I was really surprised by the hate this movie received. True, it's not as good as the first one and has a completely different feel, but I had a lot of fun with it!

I suppose it is fitting that I get paired with my suggested theme (Class Warfare). Okay, here are some suggestions, divided by the themes (all available streaming on Netflix:

Evil Families
The Hamiltons (2006)

Class Warfare
The People Under the Stairs (1991)
Strigoi (2008) - poor villagers go up against wealthy vampires and a land deed scam

Occult Detective
The Relic (1997)

If none of these are satisfactory, I'll put together some more.

Damn my pick for Home Invasion, In Their Skin, didn't make it. That's the one I really wanted too. Oh well.

So for Halloween, here are my picks:
Sinsiter
House of 1000 Corpses
Halloween (original)
Ginger Snaps
May (one of the most f'd films I have ever seen)
Creepshow 1 or 2
