Eraserhead (in a futile vote it looks like)

The Frighteners (same here)

At least I'm number 6 on the list

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 15: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)

I volunteer for a subset pick. I tried to avoid it, but I guess somebody has to do it.

I nominate:
R.I.P. Larry Cohen (1936 - 2019) God Told Me To

It has some streaming availability, and seems to be the best pick for this theme since It's Alive has already been a subset pick. It seems to have been an influence on one of my favorite horror movies, Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cure.

I'll try to come up with some nominations in the other categories, but alyxstarr has already nominated what would have been my number one choice in Australia / New Zealand: Strange Behavior (aka Dead Kids) (1981).

I'm glad someone else thought that way. I started to vote for another title and then realized I didn't want to wait until the end of the challenge to do it.

We're down to 4 subset volunteers needed. Almost there.

Also still needing suggestions from mrcellophane and Trevor.

The remaining themes that need a subset can be found here.
