Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)

Pre-Challenge 2015 / Pre-Challenge 2016 / Pre-Challenge 2017

Welcome to the OHMC14 pre-challenge thread for 2018. The sole purpose is to hopefully get the optional lists done early and without distractions. Even when the main thread goes up (usually about a month after this one) 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 ---> Past entries for all three lists.

Posts 5 and 6 ---> Building Theme Nights.

Posts 7 and 8 ---> Building The 31 Film Subset.

Posts 9 and 10 ---> Building The Checklist.

The wiki at the top of this thread will keep you updated on current progress.

__________________________________________________________________________________

That said, suggestions are always welcome, so feel free to contribute regardless of whether or not you plan on participating in the optional lists.

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 absolutely hellbent on getting a separate person for each day. The volunteer list can be found on post #7.

And here we go...

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 (let's say 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.

Themes with multiple links are bound to have duplicate titles; omitting them is just too time-consuming. "Total titles" aren't always accurate.

Theme names are subject to change. In other words, the titles and cheesy taglines will come later for some, so please don't judge them based solely on their potentially boring titles here.

Voting is officially underway!

NEW THEME SUGGESTIONS

Posted in order of titles offered.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Checklist Suggestions

Features filming of a paranormal / other TV show (e.g. Grave Encounters, They're Watching)

Film you once disliked but now enjoy (or want to give a second chance)
Features the line of dialogue (or title): "It's alive!" (e.g. Frankenstein, Rosemary’s Baby, It's Alive!)

Madness/asylums
Evil children/teens
Involves Ouija boards, seances, or magic rituals
Films with a question in the title (Whatever Happen to Aunt Alice? Who Slew Auntie Roo? What Happened to Solange? What's the Matter with Helen? etc)
Movies where they say the title of the movie in the film.

Recently deceased seems unruly with so many names and a lot of them don't seem to have big horror outputs, maybe trim it down to just watch a movie by a recently deceased contributor.
Remove 'masters of commentary,' it's too specific when most participants don't emphasize commentary tracks anyway.
Consider alternating out 'tales place on lake/water' because variety.
Be cool with multiple viewings of same movie.
The checklist feels routine and most people who watch 100 films might automatically complete it anyway, maybe alter checklist to include subtle things like grimy walls, white dresses, axe, flickering lights, or other tropes more like a scavenger hunt.
Maybe allow for multiple day themes - for example, there are tons of zombie or vampire films so maybe there could/should be multiple zombie days (or maybe an Undead week with linked themes alternating each day)
Scarecrows for a theme or checklist item (or maybe merge it with mummies, not sure if they're similar enough)
Future Theme or Checklist Ideas: Victims sleeping through chaos and/or sleep related, Mirrors, Takes Place in a Mall checklist item, Psychiatric Theme Day, Sealed Room theme day (a room or building that is sealed away is catalyst), Electronic voice phenomena and/or cameras/technology showing truth, Jocks/Bullying, Redemption/Soul Harvesting, burgomaster present, horror movie playing on television, dogs, countess bathory, apocalypse
Maybe we could extend the chronological horror theme day to include 75th anniversary as well.
Shall We Play a Game? Theme Day - films that revolve around a game or contest (Saw films, Would You Rather, Cube, Most Dangerous Game). Didn't check but not sure if we have had something like this as a theme before.
Master of Commentary: Herschel Gordon Lewis, George Romero
Future Actor/Actress Ideas: Brian Cox, Caroline Williams, Helga Liné, Lauren Ashley Carter
Director/Writer: Micheal Keating

Changing the "Monster/ Creature feature" category to "Crytptids", aka mythical creatures that some people think are real, like modern-day dinosaurs, Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, and so forth

---Masked murderers
---Human sacrifice
---Drunk Horror (scenes where characters are drunk or booze is prominent, like "Grabbers")
---Movies where a will is read, e.g. "Arnold"
---Flashback horror (where the story is told in flashback, e.g., the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers")
---Heel turn (where a character we thought was good turns out to be the killer/ monster, e.g., "The Faculty")
---Face turn (where a scary character turns out to be benign, e.g., "Lady in White")
---Final Girl (where the last person standing is a woman, e.g. "Friday the 13th," "Nightmare on Elm Street III")
---Clubs and dances (movies with dance scenes, e.g. "Carrie", "Fright Night"
---End credits song, (e.g., A song with lyrics plays at the end, "28 Days Later, the 1982 "Cat People")

I'm not sure if this is offensive, but what about "Gypsies" as a category, as in "Thinner" and "Drag Me to Hell"? Yes, I know Roma is the proper term, but nobody says that in horror movies.

The Checklist Progress

Coming soon.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Criterion / Comedy Crossover Suggestions

CRITERION
Cat People (1942)
Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
Dressed to Kill (1980)
Sisters (1972)
Vampyr (1932)

COMEDY
Dave Made a Maze (2017)
Frankenhooker (1990)
Turbo Kid (2015)
Army of Darkness (1992)

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Right off the bat let me offer an explanation and a suggestion...

The Return of Joe Bob Briggs / Fangoria automatically made the cut. Does this really need an explanation? Also I paired it with the mass marathon of the damned (9). There's going to be another Shudder marathon if you haven't heard, and odds are good it'll be in October. The possibility exists we could have a live theme marathon for the first time.

Returning themes suggestion - Frankenstein. The novel is celebrating its 200th anniversary.

And I'll let voting decide the fate of the R.I.P. Umberto Lenzi / Ulli Lommel since they're not exactly of the same caliber as Romero and Tobe Hooper from last year. Of course it'll be covered in the R.I.P. portion of the checklist regardless of the outcome.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

I'll be a Subset Volunteer

Since it's an election year, it would be good to do a Political Theme Night. There's 3 ways it could be approached. A film that makes a political/social statement. A film that directly involves politics or has political characters. Or a film with an actor/actress that was involved in politics (either successfully or just ran in a primary).

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Epic! Prep thread is live!

I'm in to volunteer for a subset.

I'm not a fan of the reoccurring 'Rest in Peace' day - vote against. Unless there's a luminary then my though is RIP checklist item should cover it.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Sweet!

I would like to volunteer as well.

I figure I'll subscribe to Shudder as I missed out on Joe Bob this time around.

I would like to suggest Armageddon / End of Days as a theme. I don't think it made the cut last year.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

I'll volunteer for a subset

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

I volunteer for a subset pick, as well.

I'll be back this weekend with some theme suggestions. Want to dig up some links first.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Count me in for a subset pick.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Best time of the year, exciting to see this up early. I'll volunteer for a subset pick too :D

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

8/31.

Be glad you missed it live. He crashed the servers, so it was both a disaster and a huge success. Most couldn't watch the films in their entirety until they put them up on demand.

Yeah, I think the last two times (of five) it was tacked onto Vampires, and it was decided to separate the two. Also remember that one being a very close call last year.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

I will volunteer for a subset pick as well.

However, since I cannot seem to view this thread on my iPhone (which is primarily how I surf the internet these days), I may be slow to respond to anything directed at me in this thread. If I appear to go MIA for a while, feel free to send me a PM. I'll try to get to a regular computer as often as I can to keep up with this thread though.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

Subset film for me please. Missed getting in on it last year.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

If we do a political theme I heartily recommend BrainDead, the 2016 TV series with Tony Shaloub Mary Elizabeth Winstead. It’s 13 episodes of near perfection.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 14: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checkl

So I never gave a date for theme voting. No set date at the moment, but expect it to happen no later than last year's 8/10 start. Possibly sooner, and I will give a heads up at least a couple days beforehand.

Also the inevitable reminder to please get in your theme suggestions, and any possible ideas for combining the themes with fewer titles before the above aforementioned date. Or if I forgot to include anyone's past suggestions.
