That one may have been taken by The Man with the Golden Doujinshi. Just in case it wouldn't be a bad idea to give alternate suggestions from at least one of the other three:
- 1980s Video Companies: Media Home Entertainment
- 1967 Vs. 1992
- R.I.P. Tobe Hooper

Might be a bit late but The Pit would be a good suggestion for the Friends subset, and it had a Blu ray release in the past year.

I'll claim 1980s Video Companies: Media Home Entertainment but also see about alts for the others.

Alright, here's what is left:
Vampires is reserved for Shack.
And we're still in need of 1 volunteer.
Don't know what happened there, but added it back to post 9. Apparently it was either accidentally deleted or didn't make the transition over.
I'll add that as a link. Much easier to navigate.

Here are two Vampire suggestions, off the top of my head (both available on Netflix streaming):
Byzantium (2012) - which I have seen
Night Watch (2004) - which I have yet to see
Neither has been used before, and they're a little different from most traditional vampire fare.
I can look for more, particularly if you're looking for older selections.

No, the only group voting left is for the Criterion and comedy crossovers. Those are intended for the remaining volunteers.
Well, there's nothing for the 30s or 40s currently, and it's a little light on the 50s and 60s side. That said, pick what you wanna pick. We've skipped decades before.

As usual I'm late to the party... So I'll take Tobe Hooper. Are we making a list of movies to choose from to be voted on?

No, just check post #3 to see what's already been used and give your preferred picks for Tobe Hooper flicks. That's it.
Eaten Alive - Haven't seen it but there's been quite a few copies for sale at Ollie's
The Mangler - Another unwatched for me
I haven't checked yet on streaming availability but will do soon.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) - Compliments the fact we watched the first one for a previous challenge

... Or do the movies have to be thematically similar?

Anyway, that's 31 volunteers, and we're actually ahead of schedule! I'll reveal the final product soon.
In the meantime, if you have any checklist suggestions now's a good time to share them. I'll be starting that soon too.

31 days, 32 films if 1967/1992 is two films, only need to watch 31
This is outside of other possible wild cards of Criterion and Comedy if Chad decides on those.

Personally I don't like the idea of subset wild cards since there is already a good amount of flexibility of when subset films can be watched. There's already not a great amount of discussion in some of the subset threads; I assume the point is to encourage people to watch and discuss some of the same films and giving an 'opt out' alternative for completion could only weaken participation from those few completist who are active in the subset discussion threads further.
I don't have a solution but it'd be nice to find ways to encourage subset participation more, kind of a bummer some of the graveyard threads. Examples: Young Frankenstein has 5 posts, Bride of Frankenstein has 6 posts, Bio-zombie has 5 posts, 3 posts on Tucker & Dale v Evil, etc etc.
We have discussed the possibility of resurrecting a prior subset film as an option to increase discussion building on some of the previous thoughts [Tucker and Dale, for example, is a popular film I'd have expected more discussion on].

I vote for not making things more complicated since I'll be knee-deep in pumpkin ale all month.
