Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl
I decided to go back to the well and pick a few more for returning themes:
Exploding heads
Bigfoots, Yetis & Tiny Terrors
I was looking at Studies in Terror (from the book by author Jonathan Rigby) the other day, and noticed he listed Frankenhooker as one of his personal favorites.

The first clear-cut winners that made the cut...
NEW
RETURNING
Posted in order of votes; atmospheric and Universal were tied at second. And just to reiterate--Universal Monsters was originally used in the first themes list, but is being treated as new since there was no link attached at the time.
Using last year as a comparison again, we are:
Keep voting. As usual, there's gonna be some very close calls.

Oh man, I'm going with Prism as well. Those covers have really got me stoked!
I'll also vote for The European Passport to Terror.
Some of the suggestions are too good to pass up for returning themes. I'm going to second Cheesy 80's for some good fun!
