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

I live in a tiny town in eastern NC and Face Off is actually pretty popular. You wouldn't know that unless you visited the Halloween store, but I guess that only makes sense.

It is a technical show, so I can see people not getting into it. But some of us grew up reading Tom Savini school adds in Fangoria, and it's cool to see what can be done in a 1 or 2 day time limit. Again, the checklist item provides lots of viewing choices, so I don't see any reason to drop it. I'm surprised we haven't used it yet to be honest.

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

While I don't plan to do the checklist, I enjoy Face Off myself.

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

I usually wait until near the end of the month and go through the checklist to see if I'm close to completing it with whatever I've watched so far. If it looks like it won't take much effort to complete it, I will.

I've never seen Face Off, and don't care if it stays on the list or not. :p

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

I might try it that way, if I'm close to completing it, work on it, but don't go out of my way.

For director: Andy Milligan

For actor: Michael Pataki

And, for next year, for producer: Tony Tenser

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

This is in no way an endorsement for any film by Andy Milligan, but if he is chosen, his film Guru, the Mad Monk (1970) is available on YouTube (along with a few more of his movies) or as a free download from Vinegar Syndrome.

..and another couple of actors:

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

Sam Neil might make a good actor on the checklist. http://www.imdb.com/search/title?gen...e_type=feature

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

Maybe I'm just not familiar with Robert Picardo's horror filmography, but what did he do besides The Howling?

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

And while I'm at it, Alida Valli and Harriet Medin might be two more actors to add to the list. Maybe the two of them could combine to make a choice.

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

Wow, I never knew he was in so many movies.

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

The checklist is up.

I didn't get enough feedback on the Avengers idea, but I'll be happy to add it if there's enough votes.

And that goes for anything else that might have been overlooked.

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

Keep Marvel out of the October Horror Challenge, please.

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

Not a fan of Cabin in the Woods or Zodiac (would that be considered horror?)

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

I went back and looked at last year's checklist, and this was on there:

--- Nation of Origin: Mexico -

It's on this year's check list as well. Weren't we going to rotate the country for this item every year?

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

The Avengers idea is clever but I agree that it seems mismatched with a horror challenge and would prefer to stick with more established or noteable genre figures; also referencing specific other franchises still feels odd to me - no to Avengers despite being a smart attempt to include novel actors on checklist.

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

I knew something felt "off".

The only other country we've covered is Spain, so anyone have any preferences in mind? We've already covered the entire continent of Europe on theme nights if that matters.

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

Canada

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

Canadian Horror Films

Canadian Horror Films 2

The land of the film tax credits never disappoints. This alright with everyone?
<BR>

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

I have a question about the October 1st Theme

Are the big creatures only Bigfoots and Yetis? Or do all giant man-eating creatures qualify (Jaws, Anaconda, Lake Placid, etc)?

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

I'm fine with Canada. I've been jonesin' to watch Curtains anyway.

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

No, that particular one is exclusively for Bigfoot, Yeti, Abominable Snowmen and whatever other names they go by. We've already covered 'Jawsploitation' and giant creatures in the past.

But remember, you've also the 'Tiny Terrors' link for Critters, Gremlins, Ghoulies, etc. to offer a little more variety.

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

Canada sounds good to me. Speaking of rotating was Death By: Decapitation supposed to be rotated too or stay the same? Doesn't matter to me just spotted it so thought I'd mention it.

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

No, you're right. Forgot that one too.

'Chainsaw' is the other one we've previously covered.

Suggestions?

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

How about drowning?

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

Drowning and Canada sounds good.

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

Not sure if any of these would qualify as I'm not sure what gives enough options but here's some weapon ideas... http://www.horror-movies.ca/horror-movie-weapons/

Hopefully some others have ideas, ^the drowning one sounds good too.

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

IMDB advanced search generated 238 titles on drowning:

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

Wow guess I'm going to see a lot of death by drowning as that is most of the movies on my to be watched list for the challenge haha.

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

Whoa! Just came to the realization that we are done here! This thread no longer serves a useful purpose.

That said, let me know if we are actually done, and if anything needs tweaking.

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

^ Huzzah! Thanks for all your hard work!
