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

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

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.

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

Chad

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.

Keep Marvel out of the October Horror Challenge, please.

jacob_b

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

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?

Undeadcow

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.

Chad

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.

Canada

Chad

Canadian Horror Films

Canadian Horror Films 2

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

TheBigDave

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)?

rbrown498

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

Chad

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.

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.

Chad

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

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

Suggestions?

rbrown498

How about drowning?

jacob_b

Drowning and Canada sounds good.

arw6040

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.

Chad

IMDB advanced search generated 238 titles on drowning:

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.

Chad

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.
