Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
Just posted in the Blu-ray forum, but there's a Severin blow-out sale for 5 titles going OOP this Thursday:
https://severin-films.com/hurry-blow...-til-thursday/
And in other optional list related news...
I'm getting ready to plug the theme nights into a table. Are there any requests for themes that should be placed on a certain day, aside from the obvious ones? As far as the new ones go I only have RIP Gunnar Hansen & Angus Scrimm for 10/7 (Friday). That's the day Phantasm: Ravager is being released digitally and in select theaters.
Also for the 'Masters of Commentary' checklist idea I currently have John Carpenter, Joe Bob Briggs, Guillermo del Toro and just added Larry Cohen. Anyone else?

Here's a few other ideas:
Extraterrestrial Horror - Sputnik was launched on October 4, 1957
Dark Shadows - Nancy Barrett's birthday is October 5, 1943.
The European Passport to Terror - United Nations Day is October 24th.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
I'll recommend all five. The Baby is probably the hardest sell of the bunch. That said, if you're into offbeat films like Death Bed, Frank Henelotter films, etc., it's probably right up your alley.
Psychomania is coming to Region B (I assume) Blu-ray 9/19 from BFI.
Yes! That's the kind of feedback I'm looking for.
Any kind of anniversary's, birthdays, holidays, good weekend themes ...whatever.
Severin is the one company I've had a zero success rate with getting as a sponsor. And I've tried practically every year but last.

I think the Christmas theme day should be on the 25th.

Dark Shadows - Nancy Barrett's birthday is October 5, 1943.

Can't forget the Bava expert.
You just gave me an amazing theme idea for next year...
The Horrors of USA Up All Night 200 titles and that was one of them.
Definitely can work with some of those. I do already have Insects for World Edible Insect Day on 10/23. And Zombies on 10/1 for NOTLD being released on that day in 1968.

Damn I came on WAY too late this year. I really wanted to throw up Anton Yelchin who passed away this year and has done some amazing horror work.

I started going through my movies to set aside themes.
Does just camping out or taking a RV trip count for the Vacation / Travel theme or would it be better for the travel to be more exotic (international, touristy, etc)? It seems to me camping should count but that is also a whole other subgenre of movie.
It seems like there are a LOT of movies about agoraphobia, that might be a good checklist item.
Edit: Planning on watching Green Inferno for Travel/Vacation to be safe.

Is it valid that all Possession / Satanic / Hell movies also qualify for the Religious horror theme?

I was gonna say 'Witchcraft' is what differentiates the two, until seeing Warclock and a few other witch movies on the list. Although, there's 'Hell' which has Father's Day with a depiction of hell in it, and it isn't religious horror. But yeah, they're VERY similar. I'll be sure and put it towards the first of the month to keep some distance between the two.
