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

After an experimental first year that proved to be a resounding success, and even more successful second year, this thread is back and earlier than ever! Its sole purpose is to hopefully get the optional lists done early and without distractions. Even when the main thread goes up later in the month this one continues ...until we're done.

We configure them in the following order - Theme Nights --> 31 Film Subset --> The Checklist. It's done in that particular order due to the first two syncing up with one another, and so you can have some time to plan ahead accordingly.

__________________________________________________________________________________

To make this thread as simple as possible...

Posts 2, 3, and 4 contain all the past entries for all three lists.

Posts 5 and 6 are for building Theme Nights.

Posts 7 and 8 are for building The 31 Film Subset.

Posts 9 and 10 are for building The Checklist.

Anything done outside of those posts will have hyperlinks directing you to where the action is in that list's respective second thread.

__________________________________________________________________________________

That said, if you have ideas for any of the lists throw them out there while they're still fresh in your mind. And feel free to contribute even if you don't plan on participating in any of the optional stuff.

Also, we're gonna need the usual 31 volunteers for the subset, so feel to volunteer now minus the later suggestions. As always, I'm hellbent on getting a separate person for each day.

THEME NIGHTS CONSTRUCTION

Here's the new theme suggestions compiled together. We need to whittle them down to an acceptable number and decide which of the old themes make a triumphant return. Once again, there's quite a few anniversary, location-based suggestions and the inevitable leftovers this time. Don't forget the ones with fewer titles (under 50) will need to be paired up with one or two other themes.

If you have any new theme suggestions let me know and I'll add them here. Include a link to go with it if you can.

Theme names are subject to change. Cheesy taglines will come later.

Voting is currently underway.

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

The Checklist Progress so far...

The construction of the checklist can be found on post #530.

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

Drink pumpkin ale; make life less complicated.

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

The reason there's more posts than usual is because we broke the forum ...exceeded the text limit. I had to break them up into pieces.

And as usual, I'll hold off on voting a few days to allow more theme suggestions.

Why are there 3 new themes already chosen?

1. Zombies + R.I.P. George A. Romero. As mentioned in the suggestions thread, I tacked Romero onto the permanent zombie theme because it's just fitting. It's zombies + Romero's qualifying filmography. Also clears up space.

2. Lucky Charms: A Celebration of Friday the 13th. It's our 13th challenge and we have a Friday the 13th this October. Do I need to say any more?

3. Nightmares & Dreamscapes. This is a returning theme we did a few years back minus the drug stuff. I need this because this year's banner theme is dream logic, which ties in with the giveaways. I have plans for it.

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

Happiest day of the year.

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

Is there any way we can fit Stranger Things into the challenge? Season 2 is coming on October 27th. Maybe make a "Stranger Things" theme for that date, so that people can binge the show.

I'll volunteer for a subset.

I definitely would if I knew how to incorporate it. We did have the "Stranger Things -&- Unconventional Movie Monsters" theme last year, which was pretty much in name only.

Of course it qualifies for the challenge according to TV rules, so there's that.

Beat you to that request in the last thread Dave. Depending on the themes we end up with, and the subject(s) of the season, several themes could work. We could maybe push a few themes that could qualify into that 27th thru 30th timeframe.

When does Netflix usually release their shows? Will in be at midnight on the 26th leading into the 27th?

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

Every time I come up with a theme night suggestion I discover it's been done before.

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

Are we still doing a European Horror Night, or do we plan to change the region this year.

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

I remember that there were a lot of suggestions last year that didn't make it. I'd like to throw those into the ring for voting as well. I can copy and paste them in a post if you'd like.

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

I have a few suggestions.

1. I dont see any year where the theme of horror movies in the cold was done. that might be a good one

http://io9.gizmodo.com/cool-off-with...zin-1796606662

2. Also, conversely, horror films set in hot settings might be interesting

3. horror films centered around drowning or being buried alive

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

Theme Night Ideas -

Based on Folklore and/or Urban Legends (Ex: Leprechaun, Mothman Prophecy, Manitou)
http://www.tasteofcinema.com/2014/th...und-the-world/
http://screenrant.com/horror-movies-...urban-legends/

Masked Killer One Shots (masked killers not part of a franchise, or maybe including franchises if not too open)
https://www.buzzfeed.com/louispeitzm...asks-in-movies
http://www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/h...or-movie-masks

Hispanic Horror Films
https://wearemitu.com/mitu-world/17-...efore-you-die/
http://www.comingsoon.net/horror/new...films#/slide/1

Iconic and Recognized Soundtrack (this maybe could include rock'n'roll horror and/or musicals by default and beyond; similar to Synth already recommended but broader)
http://www.factmag.com/2014/10/28/th...r-soundtracks/

Into the Sun - Beach Based Horror Movies (similar to the Sun based movies numbercruncher suggests above)
http://wickedhorror.com/top-horror-l...horror-movies/
http://www.sheknows.com/entertainmen...riday-the-13th

It would be good for Zombies/Romero day to go towards the end of the month after Arrow's Between Night to Dawn box set release and Scream Factory's Land of the Dead / Dawn of the Dead (remake) releases; somehow these all seem to come out on October 24th.

Yeah, if I skipped anything let me know and I'll add them. I *think* all the leftovers from last year's pre-challenge thread have been carried over. There are still a few from the suggestions thread and possibly elsewhere that haven't been transferred over yet.

Good idea.

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

Some theme ideas I don't think we've done before:

Horror set in a prison: http://www.imdb.com/search/keyword?k...ef_=kw_ref_typ (104)

Fairy Tale Horror: http://www.imdb.com/search/keyword?k...&genres=Horror (48) EDIT: Which I now see has already been suggested like 2 posts up under folklore, so yeah, voting for that.

Small Town Horror: http://www.imdb.com/search/keyword?k...ef_=kw_ref_gnr (340)

Horror at a Party: http://www.imdb.com/search/keyword?k...ef_=kw_ref_gnr (330)

The lists are all IMDB keyword lists, so to be taken with a grain of salt.

This seems like a sign of good things to come!

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

I had a feeling this thread would be going up soon. I'm happy to already be getting into this mindset. As usual, I'm good for a subset selection. I'll think about other themes that we could use.

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

Already up to 11 volunteers. Not bad.

Any objections to combining them?

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

I'm up for picking a subset film

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

Have we ever done a Jungle Horror theme? IMDB lists 139 potential titles
http://www.imdb.com/search/keyword?k...ef_=kw_ref_gnr

And how about replacing Fangoria with Video Watchdog this year? They just released their final issue ever and have been a fantastic publication for many years.

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

I'm willing to do a subset pick. I'll even try to watch my own pick (I didn't find my Witchboard DVD until a couple months after the end of the challenge. Maybe I'll watch it again this year).

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

My participation will be extremely limited this year, but I'm always up for a subset pick if you need one.

Also, as far as subsets go, how about Twinsanity? Horror films featuring twins? The IMDB search that I did came up woefully short, excluding such films as The Shining and Basket Case. We'd probably have to build our own list of films.

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

Have we ever done anything involving numbers in the title (not including a sequel number) Example: Seven Women For Satan, Two Evil Eyes, 3 On A Meathook etc...

Turns out we did already do a buried one, but not for drowning (excluding the checklist entry). Added.

Can't believe I forgot that one. I'll tack it on to the RIP Fango theme; it can be both.

I know we just did a Fango one last year for the Chainsaw Awards, but it's just such an iconic mag we can't not acknowledge its demise. All I can think of is doing both based on films that were represented on the covers, just like the Forrest J. Ackerman theme (w/ Famous Monsters of Filmland) from last year that didn't make the cut. If someone has a better idea please do share.

A Google search resulted in 23, that is, if you consider an Olsen twins movie as horror. There's also an IMDB search with almost twice that. I'm guessing those keywords are user-submitted because some are very suspect.

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

I'm good for a subset pick.

Suggestions for themes:
Film Industry
Home Invasions
Lost in the Woods

Suggestions for Checklist:
Masked Villain
Don Calfa (9)
Bill Paxton (14)
Martin Landau (8)

Chad, put me down for picking a movie

Maybe combining 'twins' with 'doppelganger,' 'doubles,' 'mirrors,' and/or 'dark others' (even 'clones' or Jekyl/Hyde) would increase the amount of options but stick with similar style and imagery; although I'm not finding a lot of lists for those either. Ex: Army of Darkness, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Black Swan, It Follows, etc.

Maybe this would make a better checklist item.

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

For the checklist, how about "Watch a film with the word 'It' in the title"?

It (2017), It Follows, It Comes at Night, It Came from Outer Space, It Conquered the World, It Came from Beneath the Sea, It (1990 Made-for-TV), It! (1967 Roddy McDowell golem movie), It's Alive, It Lives Again, It! The Terror from Beyond Space, etc.

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

It's mentioned above, I'm confused by the wording, but in honor of the total eclipse maybe a theme night (or one year checklist item) could involve solar or eclipse related things. Not sure if there are enough, but with it being so topical it might be worth examining.

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

There's also apparently a difference in results depending on which list you use. If you go by a Keyword Search (clicking on a keyword and then selecting genre, feature film, etc.) it only yields 63 titles. The above was done by an Advanced Title Search and it resulted in 5 more. Then again, it could be something I did.
