Would Eyes without a Face work as my subset pick for Eyes of Death? I think the poster displays the eyes pretty prominently.
Only if it's not being used as part of the Criterion Crossover, of course, but it seemed like Carnival of Souls was winning out. Otherwise, I can find something else with "Eyes".

Can't believe it's not on the link list, or that we haven't used it yet.
Fixed. Thanks. Maybe it'll show up on next year's list.

It's still not too late to get your vote in for Criterion Crossover if you haven't already.
Currently it's The Blob and Carnival of Souls with the most votes.

So, speaking of pre-Challenge planning, there are at least ten Criterion horror films, so starting tonight I'll be watching one horror film a night to count for the Criterion Challenge and get me really primed for the Horror Challenge.

I try to avoid rewatches, but I've already seen all the Criterion horror films so I've decided to rewatch Rosemary's Baby. It's been a long time since I've seen it and I didn't think it was anything special, so I'm going to revisit it.
There were so many films I put on my 'rewatch' list after gathering lists for TSZDT, just reading about how much other people liked them made me want to see them again even if I didn't like them.

Too late for a last minute maybe into the 80's VHS distributor circle (I have had CHUD on the brain all week)?

I'm still playing catch up on this thread, and I would like to nominate Late Phases for the Werewolf theme. I really did enjoy it.

Even though we're waiting on the final pick, I think I'm gonna go ahead and post the subset list tonight minus that entry. All I have to do is plug it into the table later, and just hold off the on its discussion thread. No big deal. And I'll give some time for everyone to look over the list before putting up the threads.
Then on to the checklist.
Then on to the checklist.

Checklist idea: Just to be retro, use the original checklist with no changes.

I could see how that might be misinterpreted. 
BTW, I'm gonna post the subset discussion threads already. If for whatever reason something needs to be changed, well, I can edit and a mod can change the title.

Lots of stuff I've already seen, but wouldn't mind re-visiting certain ones.
House By The Cemetary.....Oh no, you di'nt!!!! THE RETURN OF BOB!!!!
And I wonder if I was the only one that thought Next of Kin was that Patrick Swayze movie.
BTW, Chad, if you already had a certain poster for Pet Sematary's discussion thread planned, then discard this. But if you're open for alternatives:
Spoiler:
EDIT-Cool! Looks like you had the same poster in mind!
