Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 11 Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Wow. I'm really late to the party this year.

I'm happy to see the themes list suggestion up. Another one I'd mentioned last year was Pregnancy Horror which has potential, too. We can save it for next year, because this might get harder!

I would love to pick a subset title if any spots are unclaimed.

^ Pregnancy horror would be a great theme night. Is it too early to start the 2016 feedback thread?

We had a killer babies theme before, I think...

Wait, I count 3 recommendations for pregnancy horror, but "Monstrous Births" only received one vote? What's up with that?

I prefer pregnancy horror because you can have films where someone is trying to get the baby from the mom. The baby doesn't have to be a monster in these cases. There's some good films to pick from.

Oh, okay. I did attempt to add one for troubled pregnancies, but could only find lists with a handful of entries:

http://screenrant.com/10-worst-movie-pregnancies/5/

http://moviepilot.com/posts/2015/02/...xternal,manual

Most included a good portion from the list I ended up using.

If anyone has a better list or compiled one please share and I'll reserve it for next year's suggestions.

Still plenty; I've added you to the list.

I'm working on getting everyone's suggestions up there, BTW.

I think a 'killer kids' theme is the closest we've had.

Subset picks page updated and made more user friendly.

Unless I missed somebody we're currently at 23 volunteers, and 8 more needed.

Keep 'em coming.

Yeah, I'll be completely honest, I was just throwing up titles I wanted to see myself without checking to see if it was used it. If it has been used, my bad, but it gives me a nice reminder to myself to watch them on those days.

Possible subset picks:

The Night Stalker (Made-for-TV & Mini-Series Horror) (also Vampire, but lots of other choices for that night) (youtube)

Stir of Echoes (Based on Horror Novels - Matheson) (apparently not streaming, but available on blu-ray and DVD for reasonable prices)

Bug (Crazy Love) (apparently not streaming, but available on DVD for a reasonable price)

It's divided into 6 parts, unfortunately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEru9uaQG7A

I can make a few more suggestions later on today for different categories as well.

I recommend Rats to go with this as well. There's also Bats, which I thought was ok at best. What I can't find is a horror movie called Cats.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 11 Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Yet another reminder that we still need 8 more subset volunteers! And there's still some empty slots from current volunteers.

Also, any more requests to place themes on certain days? I'm currently working on plugging the list into a table and trying to figure out what goes where.

I did manage to put made-for-tv on a weekend as requested (11 10/4 Sunday). Unfortunately I couldn't put the European passport on 11/24 for UN day because it's the last Saturday before Halloween-related, and it's reserved for the mass marathon being it's the last unused one since Halloween itself is on a Saturday ().

Chapels of horror obviously goes on a Sunday, and the usual werewolves on full moon day (10/27) and vampires on Lugosi's birthday (10/20).

More than any, I wanna get Christopher Lee and Wes Craven's day right. Any particular dates that tie into their deaths or careers?

I concur! Although I would prefer to begin in September instead of running into November. But I'll take it anyway I can get it.

Let's compromise. Mid-September to mid-November.
