I noticed that Code Red has some reasonable prices right now, bummer to be strapped for cash right now. I really like Code Red's 'one man' model of Bill doing everything, it seems really grassroots and personal, but that sometimes makes getting the specific title you're interested in harder to get. I'm still waiting for him to re-list Necromancy, which is probably not even that great of a movie, after he got mad and pulled the title because someone said it was an edited cut (?).

Necromancy will probably never be put back on his site. If you really want it you can get it on ebay for like $80. There's a lot of speculation that Bill is giving that seller copies to mark up.

Is that the Italian Jaws knockoff with the plastic-looking alligator?

I watched Puppet Master III last night and noticed something that I had forgotten. I forgot that Aron Eiesenberg was in it. I don't know how long it was between that movie and Deep Space Nine, but it didn't seem like he had grown any by the time he played Nog.

I'm usually not big on expensive steelbooks, but the one for Suspiria looks beautiful and I really want to see that restoration. Tempting.

Ordered, and didn't hesitate for one second. This won't be sticking around as long as the Demons, Popcorn, etc. steels have. That's a fact.

And...
- Why are there nine as opposed to the originally intended seven? Because I'm an idiot and accidentally counted the two crossovers.
- I tacked on Horror Parties with the Mass Marathon of the Damned. That one screams weekend and has plenty of titles to boot. If you'd prefer something else let me know.
- Every theme that made the list is on post 6. Feedback welcome.
- The assigned days and plugging into the table will come later, but obviously attention needs to start focusing on...
- Subset Picking. Start thinking of ideas for your picks if you haven't already. I'm aiming to start this weekend or Monday at the latest.

If suggesting a title streaming from Amazon for your subset pick ---> please check for censorship.
Just wanted to mention Amazon's disgusting recent practice of censorship that took effect back in March, so that no streaming subset links are effected.
Skip to the 6:33 mark on Samurai Cop 2 for an example.

The Annual Building of the 31 Film Subset Starts Here!
The subset list is comprised of 33 films (one for each day of the month w/ a person assigned to each + two crossover themes decided by group vote) with their own individual discussion threads. It syncs with theme nights.
2008 LIST | 2009 LIST | HFC LIST | 2010 LIST | 2011 LIST | 2012 LIST | 2013 LIST | 2014 LIST | 2015 LIST | 2016 LIST
All the films in alphabetical order (313 and counting):
By year (All the previous Subset tables):
If you need a little inspiration, here's some films that surprisingly still haven't been used:
We still need 6 more subset volunteers as of this post.

1. Look over the theme nights list on post #6. When making your selection it's always a good idea to have a few backup choices that sync with several themes because a) someone may have already claimed your subset suggestion and b) there's no guarantee your first suggestion will make the final cut if several others have picks with the same themes attached.
2. Before making your selection(s) avoid repeats by checking what we've used in previous years:
2008 LIST | 2009 LIST | HFC LIST | 2010 LIST | 2011 LIST | 2012 LIST | 2013 LIST | 2014 LIST | 2015 LIST | 2016 LIST

Make sure your picks are readily accessible by avoiding OOP and extremely hard-to-find titles. Streaming isn't mandatory, but it does help to reach a wider audience. And if you are aware of a streaming link, please provide it when posting your picks. (If using Amazon please see this post.)

My pick is One Dark Night (1982) for Skull & Bones and whatever others it fits under.
Also streaming on Amazon (uncensored).
Can't think of anymore at the moment.

Splatter - (Roger Corman Presents) Splatter
The only issue is that it is only 29 minutes long. Does that matter?
