Seconded, but just G and PG.
I'd like to see more changes to the checklist and think the following are better checklist additions/replacements than theme days (maybe under the 'select 30'). Nepotism Dynasty (horror films with actors that are family members, blood-related or adopted) [maybe add or through marriage] https://letterboxd.com/holliehorror/.../genre/horror/ (56 titles) Dear Diary (diary or journal left behind to tell a harrowing, horrific tale): https://letterboxd.com/holliehorror/...-diary/detail/ (56 titles) Shot in Bronson Canyon: (Wikipedia): http://www.imdb.com/search/title?gen...&view=advanced (54 titles) [Takes Place in...] Pasties, G-Strings, & Chainsaws - Strip Club Horrors: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls062951439/ (80 titles) https://letterboxd.com/profondo_ross...-clubs/detail/ (86 titles) (166 total titles) |

I like the idea of war horror. There are so many good war related horror films.

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2019 Horror Challenge
Hey everyone, I've been working on the pre-challenge thread for awhile now, and the plan is to have it up before the end of the month. I know there's been some requests to have it up even earlier, but I've just had too much going on lately for that to happen. And honestly, May might have been a bit overkill. Just my opinion. But putting it up now will give us about an extra month, so that should be a big help.
And I know there's still some that think we already do this too early. Well, with the forum declining the way has over the years, I can assure you it's necessary. Not to mention, the January forum update has already proven to be a future pain in the ass that will continue to be so until I get the main thread up, and this also gives me a little extra time to deal with that. Anyway, I might not have everything up right away with less time to prepare, but it'll all be up in due time. It'll just be a little sloppy at first. |
Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2019 Horror Challenge
Let me give this another shot...
Would it be too early if I went ahead and put up the pre-challenge thread? |

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2019 Horror Challenge
Broken record, but not too early. Would be great to have it 100% complete by August 1 to give us two months to track down and order the subset films.

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2019 Horror Challenge
Ok God... LET ME HAVE IT!!!!
(not horror, i know but it's all that came to mind) |
Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2019 Horror Challenge
That's all I need to hear. I just have to make a few last-minute fixes and should have it up tomorrow night.

Three months doesn't seem too early. Based on the past few years, most people know it's been going up early. I don't see why not. When does the traffic pick up around here?

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2019 Horror Challenge
Hell yeah! It's never too early!

Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2019 Horror Challenge
