As of the current edition, 1231 lists were gathered. I finished the website which can be found here: http://theyshootzombies.com/ and the list on iCM https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/t.../mightysparks/ will also be made official in October.
I've already seen all the films on the list, so it might not be useful for everyone but eh it's fun :D I also created a list for 1001-2000 https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/t.../mightysparks/ but there are many 1-vote films on there so it's not as meaningful. Anyway, just dropping this off here in case it helps anyone's watchlist for the challenge... While the methodology makes the particular number rankings pretty arbitrary (which was unavoidable), it looks like it did what you were hoping for ... putting together a really nice list. I've seen almost all of them, and even in the lower part of the list there are a lot of worthwhile movies. It will be interesting to see how the rankings change with time. Which newer movies will stick in people's memories and move up, and which will be forgotten and move down. |

I can't hold off until October. Every month is a good time for a good horror movie :D I'm sure there will still be plenty to catch up by then. And the challenge is a great excuse for me to rewatch favorites that I own.

October is always insanely busy for me so I try to begin any type of Halloween-like activities right after Labor Day.

Nothing ever goes quite as planned. But half of the fun is the prep. :D |
re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2015 Horror Challenge
Thinking of trying the free trial to Shudder myself.

Did anyone do the Horror Crate? Want to post some pics of your hauls?
|
re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2015 Horror Challenge
Today, after cleaning behind a dresser, I found a package that was unopened. It turned out to be my copy of the F13 remake. I'd like to replace my set of the original movies though, as some have gotten quite scratched.

Can anyone rewatch horror movies over and over again? I find it hard to do. Some I can barely do (it's mainly has to have some comedy), but overall I just cannot. I know what is going to happen and all the screams, which kills it, especially if watched by myself. |

It is a monthly subscription service in which you receive a box of horror-related goodies. Shirts, figures, magazines, etc. There are actually a few different companies doing these now. |

"You're invited to try SHUDDER, a diabolical streaming service devoted to all the things that go bump in the night. Unlock our vast library of horror films that span the globe and the history of cinema. We're offering you a free 60 day trial in exchange for your valuable participation and feedback.

re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2015 Horror Challenge
I've been getting the Horror Block since last year. I can't say every block is amazing - most of the stuff is just filler stuff - but occasionally I get a cool new shirt or little toy. Unfortunately I haven't got anywhere to put the stuff, so I've just got a big pile of boxes on my floor :D I can't post any pics right now, but if you google 'horror block [month]' there are people who post reviews every month.

ooo yeah saw some of these at different websites. I never got into it because I'm not huge on those dolls and the shirts probably wouldn't fit me lol. I would rather get movies.
I'd probably still do this just for the figures though. I recently bought ReAction's Bride & Dracula and added them to my Remco playset/figures. https://41.media.tumblr.com/b54a4868...n4oo1_1280.jpg Almost 35 years in the making! |

I've thought about signing up a couple times but then seeing around $10 for shipping makes me reconsider. I've been doing reddit gift exchanges lately, which ends up costing about the same as if I do the boxes. The only difference is each gift exchange round has a bunch of different themes to choose from. This time I'm doing cubical decorations and an outdoor gear exchange. I haven't decided what to get for the outdoor one but the cubical person mentioned they liked plants and zombies, so I sent them a set of three zombie chia pets http://www.amazon.com/Chia-CP135-01-...9X0V1Q3KEKTZRE http://www.amazon.com/Chia-CP133-01-...9X0V1Q3KEKTZRE http://www.amazon.com/Chia-CP134-01-...9X0V1Q3KEKTZRE |

They go up to XXXXL but you have to pay more for the larger sizes.

re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2015 Horror Challenge
Is it getting close to this again..man. time flies.
Some good new bluray's coming out in October, just in time. The Hammer set individual discs that is, plus Burnt Offerings, The Oblong Box to name a few. Going to get all of these. |
re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2015 Horror Challenge
I've actually already started to shift away from watching horror so I can watch them for the challenge.
|
re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2015 Horror Challenge
^Yep. I've been checking the SF titles I watch for the SF/Fantasy Challenge and putting aside any that also have Horror listed as a genre. Plus adding new stuff.
