Also remember that any preliminary codes are just that and BN could pull it, change the details or exclusions anything prior to release so always a bit of YMMV until the final release date

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
Is there a good thread for ongoing discussion of horror, especially new releases, through the year?

Every major and many minor new releases get specific threads. Most theatrical releases of all genres get a thread in Movie Talk, and then DVD/BD releases get threads in HD Talk or DVD Talk. Then there may also be bargain threads for specific releases or sales, often horror specific.
We have conversations here on pretty much every conversation under the sun. Check out all our subforums!

My list should be final.
Final Total = 138 (tied my personal best)
First-Time Views = 95
Checklist = COMPLETE
Theme Days = COMPLETE
Daily Subset = COMPLETE
Challenge Number = 10th Completed
At least in my house, the death of DVD is real. I only had 4 viewings through that format. By contrast, this was my first year with a UHD player, and I was able to get 7 total viewings. I hope that will continue to rise during the next challenge, but I guess that will depend on what horror films get the UHD treatment in the next year. My dominant format was Blu-ray with 72.

Weak performance for me, but I knew work would get seriously in the way this year. 10 films watched, so goad of 13 not met. Still enjoyed what I watched. List completed.

Not really a generic horror thread that I recall, but Chad's yearly planning thread will be posted soon, and it tends to be bumped for horror discussion regularly.
Every major and many minor new releases get specific threads. Most theatrical releases of all genres get a thread in Movie Talk, and then DVD/BD releases get threads in HD Talk or DVD Talk. Then there may also be bargain threads for specific releases or sales, often horror specific.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
I went the opposite way. I watched 62 movies on DVD, most since 2014. I kind of used the challenge to get through some of my backlog.

Same. DVD still gets a lot of play from me...Especially when it comes to my weakness up picking up all those damn Mill Creek/Echo Bridge sets! And yes, I still use Netflix's DVD plan. But imagine the wonders if they carried stuff from the likes of Arrow & Vinegar Syndrome.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
My list is final with 132 total viewings and 99 first time views. A new record for me. I managed to finish all of the theme days and the basic checklist. This was my eighth Horror Movie Challenge. I watched 64 DVDs and 64 Blu-rays, 2 VHS tapes, one in theater viewing and one TV viewing.
Of my first time views may favorites were:
this years It
The House at the End of Time a very cool haunted house movie from Venezuela which I would never have know about if not for the South American theme day
Don't Breath, a very exciting home invasion story
The Babadook, a great haunting movie,
The Mafu Cage one of the best psychological horror movies I've seen.
A few of my least favorite were:
Carnivore (2000)
The Night of the Sorcerers
Metamorphosis
Yambao.
This year I wanted to participate in more of the subset pick reviews. I did and really enjoyed doing that.
A tremendous thanks to Chad who once again did an amazing job running this challenge. Also thanks to the sponsors and all the participants. As usual I often fell behind with the discussions but it was fun catching up.

I finalized my list tonight.

All in all, a pretty great year of mostly new to me movies. My favorite first time watch was Pin and least favorite was Alucarda.

I'm with you, although there are a few BD titles I'd hate to have to give up as they've never received a DVD release or that DVD is long OOP/expensive/MOD.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
I haven't given up DVD entirely, although I did only watch one this challenge. That was only due to the to watch pile being full of unwatched Blu-rays. I'll still buy them if it's the only option available.
I just cancelled my subscription (2-out; originally 4) for the first time since being a member. The closest distribution center was closed, and what used to be a two day turnaround time is now closer to the week it originally took. Also factoring in the lack of Blu-ray, boutique label offerings and no UHD in sight left zero justification for continuing. End of an era. 
I won't completely rule out temporarily reactivating it for next year's challenge though.
I have the 1999 version of that problem. I still get Netflix discs on a two-a-month plan, but because one was delayed, I ended up having four sitting here after the challenge ran out. I went ahead and watched three (Underworld Blood Wars, The Blackcoat's Daughter, The Strangers) and returned one for next year. 
Same. DVD still gets a lot of play from me...Especially when it comes to my weakness up picking up all those damn Mill Creek/Echo Bridge sets! And yes, I still use Netflix's DVD plan. But imagine the wonders if they carried stuff from the likes of Arrow & Vinegar Syndrome.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
My List in complete.
43 total movies, not all that impressive. But I went out of my way to pack in a bunch of new things for me, including catch-up with Stranger Things and Walking Dead plus a dozen new movies.
To add some delightful Halloween flavor, we took in The Thing in 70mm early in the month and then visited the LAIKA exhibit at the Portland Art Museum and then took in a couple of our favorites (Caroline and ParaNorman) after seeing props, sets, minatures, and costumes from the movies. Really a highlight!

I recently thought about if I were stranded on a desert island and had a choice between my BDs (which I have been buying primarily since 2011) or my DVDs, I would have to go with my DVDs simply for all the TV shows I have (Friends, Seinfeld, Parks & Rec, Tales From the Crypt, Family Guy, Cheers, Family Ties, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Community, Dexter, House, How I Met Your Mother, Lost... etc.).

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
I finally made time to go through the lists and there are a lot of good ones on here. I hate having to vote for the 'best' list because it's not always clear to me which list is really superior.
Surfinhank has a great video style to his list. I really enjoyed Mrcellophane's 'would I survive' views and Mondo Kane's drive-through totals are always epic. I appreciated Tarfirmmer linking Wiki threads to his list and the well formatted star rated posts. Every year Alyxstarr's list seems like it's the most well formatted with tables, etc. SterlingBen's list is well formatted with nice commentaries including rants about beer and more detailed thoughts on films; ultimately since I have to chose I think I appreciated SterlingBen's list the most this year.
There were a lot of interesting commentaries/ratings this year and I'll have to go dig back through more of these - Cardsfan11, mallratcal, gobear, rbrown, Dimension X, numbercruncher, Indy24LA, Golden Doujinshi, omike, thecrazydude, Tuck420, brainee, talbot, and holmes all especially stood out with more details about the films.
Overall some fun lists to go through, I wish I had made more effort to go through more of the lists during the month it might have saved me from some turkeys.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
So today was the proposed deadline for list completion in order to qualify for all the prize categories. It looks like it'll probably be around Thursday (11/9) until I get everything done. In other words, I'll continue taking the list stats right up until the winner announcements are posted.
