Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

I would suggest Len Kabasinski for either writer or director, though his movies a very low budget and super schlocky, so I think they would be a slog for most people.

And a director possibility:

Unfortunately, I don't have anyone to add for the checklist but I do have an observation. We only have 3 actresses listed. I don't really know who to suggest but I feel that we could use a few more.

Might as well throw up "Actress who shows up in all of husband's film" and add Sherri Moon Zombie and Lorenza Izzo.

Anyone working on a database/list of all the actors we've used before? If not, I'll try to get to it today.

According to the IMDB, the only thing Sherri Moon Zombie has done outside of her husband's work is The Scissoring Part 2 from 2013 and The Toolbox Murders remake in 2004.

For Lorenza Izzo it's Holidays (2016).

Yeah, I think we're good.

I'd imagine the best way to do alphabetical in a table would be to remove the rows and columns. Of course, you'd have to lump the info together that way. Sorry, that's all I've got.

Normally yes, but I really wanna get this done. I'll switch him out with Juan Piquer Simón since he's got a few more films under his belt and put him on the '3 films you've never seen before' list.

Alright, there's currently five actor spots and one writer spot available. That's it. If anyone has suggestions we haven't used, please share. Otherwise, I can use current suggestions and go with repeats.

Since you do wanna get this done and we need actresses, might as well add Sherri Moon Zombie and Lorenza Izzo (31 is On Demand and Knock Knock is free on Amazon Prime)

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Chad, in the checklist, you've got both "J-horror" and "Nation of Origin: Japan."

Since that's essentially the same thing, could you maybe change "J-Horror" to "K-Horror" or "Nation of Origin: Japan" to "Nation of Origin: South Korea"? Either way, it throws another Asian country into the mix.

Just a thought.
