100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31)

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
My list is complete. I completed the checklist and the theme nights but did not finish the subsets and did not hit 100 movies. Next year I will be in the 10 year club! I could not find all of the subset films and I was easily on pace to break 100 movies but a hospitalization in the family on the 17th (still ongoing today) slowed me down and I ended up at 83. Here's to better health and 100 movies again next year!

My list is completed on the list thread + answered the questions Chad asked on the top of my list there as well for stats (will check back if need to give an address up until deadline for that but please take me out of the running if there is no english subtitles or closed captioning regarding potential dvd prizes as I rely heavily on them with my hearing loss & it could go to someone that would not need them if so). Thanks again to all involved in making this challenge what it is and the prize contributors as well. Hope everyone has a great year until the next horror challenge! 😎

Got a better chance to look through the lists since downtime at the office, there's some amazing ones out there. I voted for SurfinHawk as best list but think Jholmes and SterlingBen came close. Congratulations to everyone who made 100 or broke their personal goals!
I feel like tarfirmmer are my arch-nemesis because his viewing count is always higher than mine, always (not like Trevor, mightsparks, or MysterioMan who rack up bogglingly big numbers one year but not others). Curses but well done!
I especially enjoyed the lists with more elaborate mini-reviews [this seems like a lot but it’s only 22 out of 105 lists posts so ~21% of people with mini-reviews]: mallratcal, Gobear, Cardsfan111, SterlingBen (especially with the beer reviews & pics), mightysparks, jholmes (epic graphic review pages), numbercruncher, Dimension X (b-movie tv), Joe29, MrStayPuft, Indy24LA, idontKNOWmargo, omike, mrpeavey, SnapDawg, indiephantom, pagefrance, mrcellophane, rbrown298 (we both suffered through Franco’s Succubus, ugh), brainee, pacaway, nondiatonic
I loved jholmes graphic review pages which could rival SurfinHawk’s. PCBreakDown, tarfirmmer, and thecrazydude using movie quotes is a great touch.
Mrcellophane seemed to dig deepest into horror smuck with a lot of film I hadn’t heard of before so I enjoyed reading about those.
Mondo Kane's end of year post marks the true end of the challenge, epic stuff from him and I love the drive-in totals. 7 breasts? 1 dead baboon? What is that guy watching?
Alyxstarr's list is well formatted (but I miss the bloody hand prints this year), and I appreciate the subset films - epic contribution. Tarfirmmer and SterlingBen had good formatting too.
I wrote down some cool looking new to me films to check out from the lists:

Hello! Yes, it certainly pays to keep up with the conversation and not let the list overwhelm. But I did enjoy my October, will require some forethought next year. My list is done, save for some editorial afterthoughts... I did complete the checklist but no time today to post it. I'm going to post it if only for my own sanity, tomorrow if that's okay.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
I just fixed my list to put my stats at the top; I've always put a note at the top saying that the list was finalized and that my stats were at the bottom, but I caved to peer pressure this year and moved my stats.
To change the subject a wee bit, when will the suggestion list for next year go up? I had several ideas pop into my head during the Challenge, and I wrote them down somewhere....
One more note: I really miss SterlingBen's wife's comments. That's always been the high point of the Challenge for me.

I need a little more time to update my list, I work in news and this week has been crazy with the election. Sorry for the delay and thanks to Chad for all of his hard work!

I'm confused... I looked at your spoiler and see She from shellebelle's list... but don't see it on her list. Did she maybe remove it as it's not horror? It's a nice fantasy/adventure flick from Hammer which is a remake of the 1935 She from Merian C. Cooper. I prefer the 1935 one by a slight margin. Either is a good watch.
109. She / 1965 / 106 min / NR / DVD / ****
I was intrigued by the higher rating (4 out of 5) and it being an older film I hadn't heard of before (plus She seems like a cool name), but perhaps you have explained why as it does seem more adventure driven. I may still look into them (now that you've pointed out it being a remake). Thank you for the additional information.

My October viewing cut into my work hours considerably. I'm self-employed so my schedule is flexible, but since Nov 1 I've been slammed catching up with work. Hopefully by the time the December challenge starts my plate will be relative clear and I can binge on holiday movies. And I'd like to go through everyone's list again and pull out horror titles to check out.
I'd be up for the horror club thing, though I'm not familiar with how it worked before.

I spend way too much time watching that channel. I even re-watch movies that I have on DVD sometimes, just because it's on and I don't feel like getting off the couch to find something else to watch.
But it is a great channel. I watched the first two Trailer Trauma compilations earlier this week, and I had seen most of the films on B-Movie TV sometime during the last couple of years.
Chad, sorry I'm so late with this, but I should have my stats on my list later today.

Ok my list is essentially done, what are the stats that Chad likes us to track for him? Something about decades? My total viewing was 68 films and 52 of those were first-time-viewings.

I've been out of town for work for the last several days and need to catch up on this thread, but my final total number watched was already complete (107), but I made sure to now add that the themes and subset were complete and the checklist was a fail.
I also updated some stats at the top of my list, which included first-time views, decades watched and formats.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
One of my unwritten goals was to tackle more of the Universal Monsters franchise. For some odd reason, I always save those for the challenge and never get to them. So I’ve decided that my post-challenge goal (post holidays is probably more realistic) is going to be to get though some of them. I’m trying to decide if I want to go chronologically or series by series. I do plan on tackling some of the “smaller” films but my main focus will be the main “monsters”.

One final reminder that I'll be announcing the winners tonight. Again, all I need is your total, number of challenges, and which optional lists were completed.
Also, it just recently came to my attention that there's going be a slight delay with four of the offerings from Cult Epics, and thankfully DVDTalk's alright with it. The Nekromantic and Pig limited VHS sets won't be shipped to the warehouse until the first week of December. To my knowledge the three Moon Child Blus were already sent and ready to ship off. I'm assuming DVDTalk will go ahead and send everything off as usual and just those four will go out later. Whatever the case, the 11/15 address deadline still stands for all. Really sorry about that, but I don't always have control over what's sent.

- Body Melt (Vinegar Syndrome)
- Terror (Vinegar Syndrome)
- Unearthed & Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary (1 copy remaining) (Synapse)
- Suspiria (2 copies remaining) (Synapse)
- Moon Child Limited Edition (3 Copies) (Cult Epics)
- Nekromantic VHS LE with T-shirt, lobby cards, and signed by Jorg Buttgereit (Cult Epics)
