This is a good idea. Love the idea of 50s movies, but you could make those fit for most every theme night. Slime/Goo could make a great theme night.

I agree; however, it does show up on the theme link for vampires, so...

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 13: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Zombies - Zombi Flesh Eaters (1980) (youtube), Train to Busan, The Returned (2013) not the series

Little surprised we haven't done Zombi 2 yet. That Arrow disk is really nice, and those docs on the disk are pretty sweet.

Skeletons- These could fit in the zombie theme, but I chose to put them with skeletons: TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD, RETURN OF THE EVIL DEAD, THE GHOST GALLEON, NIGHT OF THE SEAGULLS.

Speaking of seagulls....

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 13: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

I agree with dropping the 50's, it is something that anybody who does the checklist does anyway. I would rather drop the Horror Films with Synth Score and keep the Horrors of USA Up All Night subset. For the people who watched Up All Night in the 90's I don't think they would be a random set of movies. I definitely agree to keep the Slime/Goo/Toxic Waste subset.

I'm ok with losing USA Up All Night or the 1950s. And Hobgoblins should be in for IMDB Lowest Rated Horror. You could even watch the MST3K version.

It's amazing how many MST3K alternate versions of the Lowest Rated there are. Possibly a checklist item...

It really is. Which is nice as some of those movies are too painful to get through without. I'm looking at you Monster a-Go Go!

Got enough feedback and reinstated the Slime / Goo / Toxic Waste theme.

Also post 8 still isn't up to date, so bear with me. It's being worked on.

Six open subset spots remain...

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 13: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Post #8 is finally up-to-date as of this post. There are a few repeats.

We could use some more subset suggestions from these themes (from those who haven't already):
  • Animated Horror Films
  • Unlucky Charms - A Celebration of Friday the 13th
  • Horror Anthologies
  • Horror Parties
  • Mummies
  • Caribbean Islands ~ Central American ~ Hispanic Icons ~ Mexican ~ South American
  • It Was a Dark & Stormy Night...

Also, for those that may missed it...

R.I.P. Tobe Hooper and R.I.P. George A. Romero are now their own separate themes.

The 1950's and The Horrors of USA Up All Night were cut.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 13: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Here are some suggestions:

Animated

Frankenweenie
Monster House
Mad Monster Party

Friday the 13th

Kuroneko
Tomb of Legeia
Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key

Anthologies

Kwaidan

Parties

Clown
The Mutilator

One more suggestion would be Dr. Caligari (1989). I have a couple of friends who would love to watch that again. It can be found on YouTube, but I'm not sure on which theme to use.

That should provide some additional options. Please feel free to move any of those suggestions to other themes if that helps.

I saw an ad on my Roku today that The Mummy is available on Google Play now. So at least digitally, it is out already.

ParaNorman is a pretty good animated horror flick, even if IMDB doesn't list it as one.
