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.
Theme Nights Voting 2019 has begun!
- This is for both new and returning, 2 themes.
- If you've already voted, no problem. Just remember there's been quite a few additions added recently, so please recheck the suggestions list on post 6 periodically. Occasionally new theme suggestions are added after voting starts.
- There's no limit to how many times you can vote, or how many themes you can vote for. The only "rule" is one vote per theme. You can do it in this thread, or if you prefer privately - PM or via email. Makes no difference to me.
- Also, keep in mind that some themes have unfinished or better lists/links coming. One such example is the Horror Movies in Horror Movies, which will be cleaned up with hyperlinks directing to the main thread later if chosen.
- Certain themes might have to be combined with another theme or two if they don't provide enough titles.
- And finally, don't hesitate to share any last-minute suggestion submissions, which brings me back to what was said earlier -- recheck the list periodically.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 15: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
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)
If automatically including the 'Reoccurring Favorites' as theme days is on the table I do think it would be a logical change.

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.

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

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 15: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
I'm always up for the '80s video companies spotlight; so far we've done Vestron, Embassy, Media, and Prism. How about for this year either doing VCI/United or Thorn EMI/HBO/Cannon?

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.
