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.

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....

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.

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

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...

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.
