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

Challenge Guru & Comic Nerd
Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
Great job on the checklist Chad!
I vaguely recall this being discussed before, and iirc:
"J-horror" on our checklist has always been to mean any Asian horror
the "nation of origin:" is a yearly rotating thing and various Asian countries will cycle thru
I could be wrong on both. I see your point though rbrown. And while there aren't a ton of countries with easy to obtain sizable horror film libraries, perhaps we can consider removing the Asian countries from that rotation.
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.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
That makes no sense because J-horror, K-horror, and C-horror are three different things. Then add in all the other asian countries for more differences.
In your use of J-horror, it's like when my wife offers to pick a sandwich up for me and I tell her what I want. Then she comes back with something different but says it's the same thing.
No Trevor, the toppings are different.

So this is sort of pertinent to the topic of Challenge planning, but could I get some brief input on an idea? I started a thread in feedback asking for the possibility of "personal threads". I've often wished I had my own thread hidden away somewhere on the forum so that I could:
I don't want this to turn into the discussion of a Challenges Sub-forum, just a quick yay or nay on my sanity.
- have a place to experiment with thread and table formatting
- have a place for all of my Challenge lists to allow for easier searching and collating

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
That's cool, I said I might be wrong. I agree they're different, I just thought that the term J-horror sprang up when only Japanese films were really making it over here, and as the market expanded to include other Asian countries, the term was sort of bastardized into including more than just Japanese.
Here's another one for some reason

It's kind of like that monthly unwatched media pile thread. Even if I still ran it and was the only one participating, I'd still do it because I found it useful. If someone else joined in with even comments or something, that'd be cool too.
If you don't want outsiders to comment or join in with what you're doing, I think you want a text file on your computer.

I wouldn't care. It'd give this place more thread activity and potentially show a random person that comes by that we're not dead yet.

If you don't want outsiders to comment or join in with what you're doing, I think you want a text file on your computer.
It's kind of like that monthly unwatched media pile thread. Even if I still ran it and was the only one participating, I'd still do it because I found it useful. If someone else joined in with even comments or something, that'd be cool too.

The only reason I can immediately see for not wanting others to post in your thread was if you wanted it as a place for all your challenge lists, to allow searches and statistics maybe. Having others comment and/or quote your posts would screw up your searches/stats.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
I have a quick question on the Checklist. For Make-Up Effect artists, can you also include movies where they are listed as special effects but not make-up effect? This may be the stupidest question asked to many of you but my OCD requires me to ask it. I am asking because of John Carl Buechler's credit on Hatchet.

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.

So this is sort of pertinent to the topic of Challenge planning, but could I get some brief input on an idea? I started a thread in feedback asking for the possibility of "personal threads". I've often wished I had my own thread hidden away somewhere on the forum so that I could:
I don't want this to turn into the discussion of a Challenges Sub-forum, just a quick yay or nay on my sanity.
- have a place to experiment with thread and table formatting
- have a place for all of my Challenge lists to allow for easier searching and collating
I don't want this to turn into the discussion of a Challenges Sub-forum, just a quick yay or nay on my sanity.
That said, unless you intend on sharing with everyone, just go back, edit an old post from a thread that's no longer in use and use it. It might save you some potential embarrassment. Trust me, I know.

Makes sense. Years ago I "accidentally" started a thread in the feedback forum (Test 2), and I've been using it for challenge formatting for five years now. That is, up until they turned off HTML in there a few months back for whatever unbeknownst reason.

Good idea on just using an old post somewhere, but I still think it'd be useful to have a thread for all the various tables and lists and such I play around with here.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 12: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
Hi!
I'm a new member of sorts (been a reader, not a poster in other words), joined because I thought I should participate on this one this year.
Just a stupid newbie question
Each movie counts as 1 point or so, do completing the themes, subsets or checklists give extra "points" or are they more or less just a challenge in itself? :-)
Btw, much props for doing these things!

Bollywood Horror should definitely be on the checklist next year.
Speaking of next year, when does the feedback for next year thread go up? I sometimes thing of stuff during the challenge and it might be cool for that to be available for people to jot down their thoughts early.
Welcome aboard. There's not a 'points' system; just tally the films you watch (with partial credit for TV shows depending on length) and maintain a list count. The subset films, checklist, and theme nights are just for 'fun' or additional 'challenge.' The only benefit to completing subset, checklist, theme nights, or 100+ movies watched is an additional entry in prize giveaways at the end of the month. Mostly things are about discussing horror movies we all love and trying to make the most out of the season.

I usually put it up sometime in the first week of November. If you have ideas during the current challenge you could always put in the wiki underneath the optional lists. That way it wouldn't get overlooked and I could copy/paste it over.

Herschell Gordon Lewis is already on the checklist. I've also added him to theme nights alongside Gunnar Hansen and Angus Scrimm. Just wanted to mention that.
Also, this thread no longer serves a purpose, so let's send it straight to forum hell where it belongs.
If you have questions/requests regarding the optional lists please do so in the main thread.
