Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2016 Horror Challenge
On special days, the idea of allowing the once every 7 years of a Friday the 13th just two weeks before the Horror Chllenge start, and allowing only Jason movies, was pretty much universally hated.

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2016 Horror Challenge
I'm not a fan of advance days that somehow count for the October Horror Challenge; it's great to watch horror whenever but counting it for the October challenge feels awkward and potentially restrictive to newbies... besides, who can keep track six months (or whatever time) later.
If people want to stretch out the Horror Challenge the now defunct Horror Movie Club was a cool idea (monthly discussion thread); or maybe hold an isolated mini-challenge [1 Day of Horror - April 29, could even be a sub-part of whatever challenge occupies that month].

Ignore that part, I forgot the extra day was in Feb not April.

Ah, good, I'm not as clueless as I thought then.
But February 29th is reserved for the second best Challenge DVDTalk has, the Quadrennial Leap Day Challenge of all things time travel.

Reminder bump that the pre-challenge thread for the optional lists goes up *next month*! I was planning on posting it earlier (first of the month) than last year's in hopes of not finishing everything up right as the actual challenge begins.
If you have theme / subset / checklist ideas don't hesitate to post them in here now.

Can't believe it's already time to start planning for the challenge.

I'd like to suggest that whoever's running the challenge, or organizing the prizes, should contact Shudder.

They do a lot of stuff with social media. Maybe we can get some free subscriptions for prizes. Or maybe discounts and free trials during October. Also we might get shoutouts on their Facebook and Twitter which could bring new participants.

I'd like us all to chip in and help Chad so we can get the theme nights, Motd, and checklist ironed out in advance. I think like others, I like to have my movies planned out in the beginning.

And August snuck up on me, so the pre-challenge thread will go up tomorrow (8/2). That'll still give us an extra 10 days over last year's.

Also, I'll have to check, but I *think* we've already done the military one. If so, it can still always come back as a revisited theme.
