Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
I was reading over last year's planning thread, and I saw a discussion between Trevor and a few others that I wanted to raise again.
Trevor was arguing that there should be some wildcard leeway for subset picks:
The discussion went on from there. Here's a link:
https://forum.dvdtalk.com/13148873-post405.html
On the con side was the concern that not enough people participate in the subset movie discussion threads as it is, so giving leeway there might dampen participation further. Trevor argued that it should *help* participation since it's currently and all-or-nothing deal, which might make people just give up and not do the subset.
Another argument against the change ran along the lines of "it's supposed to be hard."
I wanted to raise this discussion again, for what's worth. You can all ignore me since I'm a relative newbie (last year was my first Oct and Christmas challenge). But my thoughts on good reasons to allow a wildcard to two with the subset list is:
1. Just watched it. I watch a ton of horror. I don't mind rewatching films I haven't seen in a while. But if I *just watched* a movie, I don't want to watch it again. So my options are to give up on the checklist because of that one movie -OR- put it on and half ass watch it just to get it checked off (which is the sort of grunt work that's just dumb).
2. Some people may have a strong reason not to watch one movie. For example, some people will simply never watch Martyrs or Wolf Creek because "torture-porn". Or they may have a reason they will never watch a certain actor, or they legit get panic attacks over spiders or whatever.
I think Trevor has a good point that if people decide they can't/won't watch one or two movies on the subset list, they may give up on it entirely and simply do their own thing. This decreases participation for all the other subset movies. Even with 2 wildcards, there are 29 movies you'd have to watch on the subset list, which is still quite a challenge and will push people to watch movies they wouldn't have picked for themselves.
SUBSET RULE SUGGESTION:
2 subset wildcards where you can sub 1 or 2 movies from this year's subset list with another film from past year's subset lists -or- the Criterion/Comedy picks.
We have that great list of past years' picks. Would be nice to use it for something like this.
ETA: Since there are already 3 wildcards (for watching non-horror or watching shorter episodes), this could be added an an option under those same 3 wildcards so that the number of wildcards stays the same? If people want it harder.
Trevor was arguing that there should be some wildcard leeway for subset picks:
Definitely agree that we need at least two options for alternates in qualifying for the theme and subset list checklists. If someone works a 24 shift and misses one day of viewing out of 31, they shouldn't be penalized in missing both lists.
Maybe have the subset and theme nights of Criterion and Comedy count as wildcards? So one could miss two of the 31 proper days of October, but still be counted as completing both lists. This could be in addition to the theatrical wildcard and whatever else we have or implement.

That (and possibly a couple of other issues) will be put up for vote in the pre-challenge thread fairly soon.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
Great looking banner! I really want to ask about a few of these.
SUBSET RULE SUGGESTION:
2 subset wildcards where you can sub 1 or 2 movies from this year's subset list with another film from past year's subset lists -or- the Criterion/Comedy picks.
I think this sounds pretty good. I've been trying to get the wifey more involved in the challenge, and I think this would help us reach that goal. I'm trying to watch from a more diverse pool, but there are a few titles that have turned her completely off.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
Another awesome banner Chad excited for this challenge to begin as always especially since I saved pretty much all the super talked about horror films or new releases this year like Hereditary, A Quiet Place, The Strangers: Prey At Night, Incident In A Ghostland, Terrifier, The Meg, etc. just for this & managed to avoid spoilers for most part as well which is a feat in itself. Also exciting to see a skyrocket in a bunch of horror or mystery/thriller tv shows coming this fall such as The Haunting Of Hill House and Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina on Netflix, I tend to watch an episode or so of those after watching some horror films each day. Noticed that there is quite a lot of book to movie adaptations this fall makes me want to read more of them in addition to watching it’s film adaptation which I haven’t done in past challenges, so many upcoming adaptations as well such as Bird Box and I Am Thinking Of Ending Things. Also noticed amazon prime has some hard to find titles such as Ghostkeeper which I’ve always been curious about but never watched elsewhere due to needing subtitles being hard of hearing, hopefully those titles continue to stay up throughout October (side note - wish some of the more obscure horror titles like tv horror films on dvd or streaming rentals had subtitles or captions major bummer as I think I’d enjoy the older 70s/80s tv horror movies quite a bit).

Just a heads up there's a 15% eBay code PREGAME15 good until 10 PM PST.
It goes well with the Blowitoutofhere 15% off 4+ items or 15% off 2 items (box sets) promotion. Quite a few horror titles.
