Pre-Horror Challenge 11 Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Yes, this is a brand new OHMC thread, and its sole purpose it to hopefully get the optional lists done earlier and without distractions. Even when the main thread goes up later in the month this one continues ...until we're done.
In the past we've always configured them in the following order - Theme Nights --> 31 Film Subset --> The Checklist. I was hoping to keep that order going since the first two sync up with one another, and so people can have some time to plan ahead accordingly with the subset films.
That said, if you have ideas for any of the lists throw them out there while they're still fresh in your mind.
Also, we're gonna need the usual 31 volunteers (excluding me) for the subset, so don't be shy. As usual I'm hellbent on getting a separate person for each day.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 11 Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
THEME SELECTION
This is the new theme suggestions compiled together. We need to whittle them down to an acceptable number and decide which of the old themes make a triumphant return. Lots of location-based suggestions and a few leftovers this time. Don't forget the ones with fewer titles can be paired up with other similar ones (attics and basements for instance).
If you have a suggestion let me know and I'll add them here. Include a link to go with it if you can.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 11 Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
I gotta throw out a couple suggestions for returning themes before I forget...
Drive-In Double Features -&- 1980's Video Companies
Big hits last year and both were made for Saturdays. Bring 'em back!

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 11 Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
Instead of bloody showers, how about blood bath? Basically, in that sense, movies with like 20+ deaths or something insane. And have we ever had a theme where the movie is based on the book?

For You’ll Never Check Out I can only pick The Happiness of the Katakuris, which had a recent blu-ray/dvd release. If there ends up being a comedy or music category, it fits there too. If someone is turned off by the music part of this film, don't worry, it's not bad at all. I don't care for musicals and this is pretty light on music numbers but what's in it works.

Random theme idea that just popped in my mind (and shows you where my head is at right now)
Ladies Of The Night - revolving around strip clubs or brothels or involving prostitutes/hookers/call girls

Why does it just have to be Ladies? There's men, trannies, the self-defined genderless, and everyone else that has some special term for their gender sex workers too.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 11 Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
Can you recall any horror movies that feature one of those categories as a main aspect of the film? Because there are a good amount that feature female hookers/strippers as the main protaganist or storyline.

Has a male prostitute that may or may not be the killer.
Killer Condom
I've seen references to other films at gay and lesbian film festivals but I'm fine with saying there's probably indie films out that that someone came up with to counteract Hollywood.
Inclusive instead of exclusive.
I know, I'm just giving you a hard time

Well we could do a transgender/cross dressing theme. Hits Psycho and Silence of the Lambs.

I'm not trying to speak for the transgender community, but as your garden-variety gay guy, that category strikes me as being really wrong and hurtful. I like to think that we have progressed beyond viewing people with gender issues as Halloween monsters.

We can also have a "fucked up in the head straight guy starts killing people because he couldn't sleep with or get the girl" (replace guy with girl as well) to show that ALL sexual orientation is fucked in the head
And if people haven't seen the classics of the movies I or others have said, then damn, they need to get on that ASAP.

I'm sorry I opened up this can of worms. When I read about a Ladies of the Night category, I was really just thinking of what about a little something for the ladies too.

I really don't want to get into super social commentary about our beloved challenge. LBGT night is fine... there are many films that fit this mold, and The Wearbear segment on Chillerama is one of the best.

Top 50 Child Actors/Actresses From Horror Movies:

For You’ll Never Check Out I can only pick The Happiness of the Katakuris, which had a recent blu-ray/dvd release. If there ends up being a comedy or music category, it fits there too. If someone is turned off by the music part of this film, don't worry, it's not bad at all. I don't care for musicals and this is pretty light on music numbers but what's in it works.

I have an odd idea that's a mishmash of earlier stuff with 'Erotic Horror Vs Family-Friendly', but doubt it would go over very well.

The 'Eyes of Terror' suggestion is essentially the same thing in that they all have eyeballs on the cover art.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 11 Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
Okay then, I've added the following suggestions to post 2:
- Horror Movies with Child Actors
- LGBT Horror
- Twinsanity
- Twisted Fairy Tales
- Disembodied Hands
- Bigfoot and Yeti Movies
- Chronological Horror Years - 1965 vs 1990 (or Golden/Silver)
- Daytime Horror
If I haven't added your suggestion(s) it's either because its already been done or I'm still searching for a suitable link.
And keep in mind that I'm only adding new suggestions that haven't been used in the past there. The only exceptions are past suggestions that are lumped together into one theme (older entries combined with newer and/or older entries) and updated older entries (Chronological Horror Years - 1965 vs 1990).
