Oddly enough, we've never had The Blair Witch Project as a subset pick, so that would of course be the perfect one for this, but it was actually One Cut of the Dead that got me thinking along these lines. There are lots of films that would fit the theme: The House of Seven Corpses, The Taking of Deborah Logan, Man Bites Dog, etc. Here's a list from the IMDB search engine, but some of them are suspect.
It think that the key thing that separates this theme from the "Found Footage" theme is that these films must involve a film crew. We could could it "Frights, Camera...Traction!" Or not. And speaking of One Cut of the Dead, it's supposed to be up on Shudder sometime this year. That's according to Rob Galluzzo of the Shock Waves podcast. Of course it's already on Blu-ray in a few countries. Also noticed the poster art for Evil in the Woods from that list is very reminiscent to the VHS cover art for The Video Dead: Spoiler:
I thought shamelessly ripping off poster/cover art was confined mostly to Italy. Guess not. Evil in the Woods would be perfect for the RiffTrax treatment, especially considering "Mike Nelson" is the associate producer. |

Shudder is currently running a "live" rebroadcast of the original 13-film marathon for The Last Drive-In minus three of the films that lost their licensing agreement (The Prowler, Daughters of Darkness, The Legend of Boggy Creek) for the one year anniversary. They're also doing a live Twitter commentary. #TheLastDriveInMarathon

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 15: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
I'm so sorry, and I must apologize in advance, but I was watching Dream Home tonight (the Hong Kong film from 2010) and, God help me, it gave me another theme night idea:
The Willies It's gotta be the worst idea for a theme night ever (and certainly the idea in the worst taste), but if we're going to rock out for the 15th Challenge, let's rock out with...well, you know. |

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 15: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
We're currently down to a dozen subset volunteer spots left.
Also another theme was just added to the list... Mountains of Madness: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?t...tain&count=250 This one's self-explanatory. |

John Carl Buechler (R.I.P.): https://www.imdb.com/filmosearch?exp...&genres=Horror And yes, I'm fully aware people have expressed interest in having just one check for this. <BR> |

I would like to suggest that John Carl Buechler get his own theme day.
And if I haven't mentioned already, that's a birthday celebration, death, anniversary, etc. that's a use it or lose it theme. Or at least a five year wait with anniversaries. |
Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 15: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Theme voting starts Sunday night (7/21).
Thanks to a hectic week that's about a week later than I originally intended. Then again, maybe that's for the best considering there's not much activity in here currently, which is probably due to starting earlier. But again, please share any suggestions you have that aren't already on post 6. As usual we'll be voting on both new and returning themes. I'll post the significant anniversary dates for some of the latter soon. <BR> |
Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 15: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
I suck at coming up with new theme ideas, but I am standing by to vote.

This gives me a spur-of-the-moment checklist idea that's inspired by Darth Maher's 15th anniversary suggestion involving films (subset and otherwise) that have left somewhat of, well, let's say left an indelible mark on the challenge.
Watch 1 of your OHMC "favorites": --- Shakma (1990) - --- The Killer Tongue (1996) - --- The House by the Cemetery (1981) - --- Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977) - --- Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror (1981) - --- Hobgoblins (1988) - --- Microwave Massacre (1983) - --- Killer Condom (1996) - Missing anything? |
Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 15: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Another reminder we still have 12 vacant subset volunteer spots available. Reserve yours now ...they're going semi-fast.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 15: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
And if you care about anniversaries, these previously used themes are celebrating the following:
Hammer / Amicus / Ealing / Black & Blue - Hammer Films 85th Anniversary. Founded 1934. Sci-Fi Horror - 50th Anniversary of the moon landing. July 16, 1969. Exploitation Horror Films - 45th Anniversary of Troma Entertainment. Founded 1974. Family-Friendly Horror Films - 35th Anniversary of PG-13 Rating. July 1, 1984. The Horrors of USA Up All Night - 30th Anniversary. First episode premiered January 7, 1989. Also keep in mind season 2 of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs has been announced, but no date has been set as of yet. The possibility exists that we could get our first "live" theme/subset for the Joe Bob theme if it airs in October. <BR> |
