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

For anyone just joining us...

We're also down to 10 subset volunteer spots left.
<BR>

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

If automatically including the 'Reoccurring Favorites' as theme days is on the table I do think it would be a logical change.
It might make sense to just count on those and should someone want to remove a 'Reoccurring Favorite,' or too many new suggestions are popular, to bring it up for a vote/discussion at that point.

The only one I'd hesitate on is Eurohorror because there are a lot of regions equally as worthy, maybe just do a rotation each year.

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

I'll wait to see how Australia/New Zealand fares before proceeding, but I think it'd make sense to do a separate round of voting for all the others after all (alongside the 1980's Video Companies Spotlight choice).

Here's the count so far...

European Passport to Terror - 6 times

Asian Buffet of Terrors - 5 times

Caribbean / Mexican / Central American / South American / Hispanic Icons - 1 time

Australia / New Zealand - 1 time

Canadian - 1 time

Some Scream Factory titles are currently $12.99 at Amazon:

And a few for $14.99 like Psycho II, Psycho III and Lake Placid.

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

And I'll be announcing the first round of themes to make the cut very soon (probably tonight). This year there's quite a few close calls, so please cast your votes if you haven't already.

Also remember the final round known as the 'elimination round' will require another round of voting to decide the tie-breakers.

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

Additional new themes I'm voting for:

Litterboxed Devil Dogs (Cats & Dogs)
I Spit on Your Garage
Electric Brain Stew - Nepotistic Dogs Bullying Scarecrows
Random Maniacal Mashup of Insane Indecisiveness 2 - TV Terrors / Late-Night Horror Hosts / Aerobics Craze / Casinos
Playgrounds of the Damned
Junkyards & Construction Sites
Till Death Do Us Part - Wedding Horrors
Blood Showers

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

The first clear-cut winners that made the cut...

NEW

• Till Death Due Us Part - Wedding Horrors
• 'Till Death Do Us Part - Wedding Horrors
  
• Stranded
  
• Pasties G-Strings, & Chainsaws - Strip Club Horrors
  
• Frights, Camera...Traction!
  
• Random Maniacal Mashup of Insane Indecisiveness 2 - TV Terrors / Late-Night Horror Hosts / Aerobics Craze / Casinos

RETURNING

• Australian / New Zealand
• Australia / New Zealand
  
• Family-Friendly Horror

Looks like we're right on track with last year by getting first round results five days after voting kicked off. Only difference is we're doing slightly better by having one additional new theme. Till Death Due Us Part was the number one vote-getter with everything else a tie for second.

Keep voting. As previously mentioned, there's gonna be some very close calls.

Not to be pedantic (although it could be my middle name), but in the spirit of correctness, the correct phrase is 'til death DO us part.

Sorry to pick that nit, but it's in my nature.

Sorry for lack of voting on my end. Haven't had a lot of chances to get to an actual browser on a laptop (this thread doesn't play nice with iPhone browsers.

I'll add a few of my votes shortly, and if its too late, then no problem.
