Instead of some of the more rare Special FX people... perhaps "Watch a movie with effects from someone who is a judge of Faceoff"

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2014 Horror Challenge
I like this one. I've done this several times in the past, based on trailers or posters. I hate it when I see a trailer for a double feature later in the month after I've already watched one of the films.

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2014 Horror Challenge
Not much on the suggestion front but I wanted to share that I watched Frankenstein- the original and The Oculus 32 minute short film in the features part of the disc this past weekend. It just got me pumped up a bit for the upcoming horror challenge. Got me thinking about it, even though it's a little more than a month away.

I had to look up Face Off myself; but it seems like the rooster has a nice collection of people. Technically, since TV content and documentaries are allowed just watching Face Off itself should count too.

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2014 Horror Challenge
How about "Man's Best Fiends: Canine Horror Flicks"? Cujo, Man's Best Friend, Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell, Dracula's Dog, White Dog, The Pack, The Breed, etc.
Or if dogs aren't anyone's thing, how about "Things with Wings: Flying Horror"? Lots there, including The Giant Claw, The Swarm, Q: The Winged Serpent, The Birds, The Deadly Bees, and approximately 700 gazillion more.
Or Aussie horror? Have we done that one before? Filipino horror?

What about Silent Horror films or Movies with a POV kill?

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2014 Horror Challenge
Pet Death is one of the horror movie tropes/clichés I'm going to keep track of this year. I saw a movie last year where the pet didn't get killed. I think it was The Lords of Salem.

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2014 Horror Challenge
Sorry for the lack of communication as of late. I've been working tirelessly to get the thread ready to go, and now there's a very distracting Simpsons marathon working against me.
Anyone find a link for this one?
Thank you!

Unfortunately there's not much in the way of more obscure horror. Not even Cannibal Holocaust.
And I have this new theme id ...never mind.
A few ideas, but maybe a bit too geeky
Theme Day: "Vestron Video Classics in HD" or releases put out on vhs by another specific big or small video company back in the 1980s that are available on Blu (or DVD).
Or maybe watch a movie on the same day it was first released (in October) years ago (for example "The Sender" October 22, 1982 ==> watch it October 22, 2014).
Also fun: double features based on old newspaper drive-in/movie ads.

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2014 Horror Challenge
Also, somebody brought up the idea last year of having a few "best of" themes where we'd vote on our favorites since this is the 10th anniversary. So if there's any particular ones you wanna see return name them and we'll go with however many. Of course it's all dependent on how many of the new ones we use. And the same goes for the checklist.

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2014 Horror Challenge
I've been away from challenges this past year, but I'm getting excited for this one. I have several ideas on the brain (most of which I will probably abandon once life gets too busy as it ways does). I have a few Halloween/Horror "events" going on as well... Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare and Midnight Syndicate Live at Cedar Point. I'm also working in Pasadena, CA for 4 days in mid-October. I'm hoping I'll have the money and time to head to Universal Studios and/or Disneyland to join in on their Halloween events. At the very least, I hope to visit the Halloween shooting locations again at that time.

For VHS Classics in HD, here's a good source of what company released what back then
http://www.critcononline.com/video_c..._cover_art.htm
This got an option to search by VHS company
http://www.vhscollector.com/
or by clicking IMDb's Distributor option
http://www.imdb.com/company/co0030983/?ref_=ttco_co_24
For watching movies on the same day it was released back then (click month/October, then click year)
http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/
As for newspaper movie ads, there doesn't seem to be a definitive good website. Best option is to google.

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2014 Horror Challenge
Chad, any chance of doing the 50th anniversary thing for a theme night again?
Here's a list of some of the horror movies released in 1964:
I was also going to suggest films from 1939 (75th anniversary) and 1989 (25th anniversary), but there are too few of the 1939 films for even a checklist entry, and, while there are a few excellent ones, the majority of the 1989 entries suck balls.

While not dog centric, another horror film that features a demon dog is Bones.
