Subset pick ideas:

Zombies - Stalled (Netflix streaming)
Anthology - Screamtime (Netflix streaming)
Supernatural - Woman In Black 2 (Netflix streaming)
Based on Horror Novels (Lovecraft) - The Dunwich Horror (Netflix streaming)

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

Stalled was used before.

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

no one would argue Horns. I watched it last year for the challenge.

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

Just wanted to point out that Tales from the Darkside is celebrating its silver anniversary...

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

Werewolves - Cursed (Craven; 10th anniv.)

Supernatural/Quiet - The Mummy's Hand (1940) [75th Anniversary]
Anniversary - Dr Terror's House of Horrors

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

There's a Dunwich Horror on Amazon Prime, too, which is helpful.

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

I don't know. It's not really horror. It's similar to Liar Liar except, it's other people telling the truth and there's the murder mystery. Sure someone has horns but it's not supposed to be scary.

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

Even if it's "just" Dark Fantasy (per the novel and descriptions of the film - which also say 'horror-comedy'), the supernatural elements push it squarely into the right ballpark. If horror HAS to be "scary," half the Universal Horrors are out for many people...!

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

The diabolical imagery and vengence theme makes Horns horror to me. I found it to be sharper than just a move about people telling the truth. It was hit or miss in effectiveness but horror none the less in my opinion.

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

if you still need a pick ill volunteer dont care what theme

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

For me, it takes a little more than that to call something horror. The TV show Strangers with Candy has those things but I'd never call it a horror show. The same imagery and scenes can be found in Disney movies but once again, I'm not going to call it horror because of that.

That plus the novel and film not being meant to be a horror novel/film means, to me at least, that it isn't really a horror film. Just because something might have a ghost in it, doesn't automatically mean it was meant to be horror.

These arguments for saying Horns is horror somewhat reminds me of the argument for including Amazing Spider-Man because the Lizard looks scary. It still didn't make it into a horror movie. In the first trilogy we have Peter Parker seeking vengeance over what happened to his uncle and we also have some monstrous villains. Then there's the terror of Wizard of Oz with the witch going after Dorothy and evil flying monkeys, which was also an argument for including that a a horror film. At least the monkeys and witches, not so much vengeance.

I don't care if someone watches Horns for the challenge, I just don't see it as a great pick for a subset film.

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

Well... Horns is not listed as "horror" on imdb and the general concensus is to use imdb as a benchmark.

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

Chad, I volunteered for a subset and wasn't on the list I saw. Just wanted to make sure you included me and updated how many movies were needed.

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

You're on the list.

Apparently I missed Darth Maher too. Sorry, I posted this late-night while very tired. Fixed.

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

The list thread is UP.
<BR>

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

I'll volunteer for a subset pick.

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

No problem about Horns, that is one of the ones I haven't seen but heard was good and saw available on netflix that hadn't been used for the challenge before so thought I'd throw the idea out there and suggested it before checking imdb then realized I should check incase but totally agree with following what imdb says.

It's still worth watching. I choose it to watch randomly one day, not thinking it'd be any good but then I had to finish it. Not sure it's something I'd care enough to rewatch but it's definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it.

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

Yeah I will definitely check it out at some point soon anyways, might even read the book too.

ouija for supernatural its on cable

Dracula 2000 for Wes Craven. It's avail at Netflix and Amazon prime for pay
King Kong 1933 for crazy love. It's avail at Netflix and Amazon prime for pay

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

I'm down for all these.

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

Would Dracula 2000 count since Craven didn't direct it? That would be sort of like counting Lords of Dogtown for David Fincher or The Philadelphia Experiment for John Carpenter.

Personally, I think that Craven should have directed the film that is the subset pick for him...maybe something along the lines of Last House on the Left or The Hills Have Eyes or Summer of Fear or The Serpent and the Rainbow.

I'll go along with whatever the majority feels is right, however.

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

Here're my subset picks:

Criterion Crossover - Diabolique (Hulu)
European - The Orphanage (Spain) (Walmart's $5 bin or $5 at Amazon)
Zombies - Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (YouTube)
Wes Craven - The Hills Have Eyes (YouTube)
Demonic Possession OR Halloween-Related OR Horror Comedies - Idle Hands (YouTube)
Evil Plants - The Freakmaker (aka The Mutations) (Amazon Instant Watch)
Based on Horror Novels - Carrie (1976) (Videobash.com)
Vestron - The Incredible Melting Man (YouTube)
Bigfoot - Exists or Creature from Black Lake (YouTube)

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.

Theaters - Terror in the Aisles on YouTube

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

I really like that one.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Don't tempt me.

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

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

Do you have a link for that? I could only find one dubbed in French.

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

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.

Crazy Love: The Toxic Avenger, Swamp Thing, Bride of Chucky, Killer Joe (if it is a horror film, this is my choice), A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (another must add somewhere as I will be watching this)

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

Jacob, just as a note, Hellbound: Helraiser II and Event Horizon have already been subset picks.

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

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.

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

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)

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

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.
