Pre-Horror Challenge 15: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Pre-Challenge 2015 / Pre-Challenge 2016 / Pre-Challenge 2017 / Pre-Challenge 2018
Welcome to the OHMC15 pre-challenge thread for 2019. The sole purpose is to hopefully get the optional lists done early and without distractions. Even when the main thread goes up this one continues ...until we're done.
We configure them in the following order - Theme Nights ---> 31 Film Subset ---> The Checklist. It's done that particular way due to the first two syncing up with one another, and so you can have some time to plan ahead accordingly.
__________________________________________________________________________________
To make this thread as simple as possible...
Posts 2, 3, 4, and 5 ---> Past entries for all three lists.
Posts 6 and 7 ---> Building Theme Nights.
Posts 8 and 9 ---> Building The 31 Film Subset.
Posts 10 and 11 ---> Building The Checklist.
The wiki at the top of this thread will keep you updated on current progress.
__________________________________________________________________________________
That said, suggestions are always welcome, so feel free to contribute regardless of whether or not you plan on participating in the optional lists.
Also, we're gonna need the usual 31 volunteers for the subset, so feel to volunteer now minus the later suggestions. As always, I'm absolutely hellbent on getting a separate person for each day. The volunteer list can be found on post #8.
And away we go...

THEME NIGHTS CONSTRUCTION
Here's the new theme suggestions compiled together. We need to whittle them down to an acceptable number and decide which of the old themes make a triumphant return. Once again, there's quite a few anniversary, location-based suggestions, and the inevitable leftovers. Don't forget the ones with fewer titles (let's say under 50, with exceptions) will need to be paired up with one or two other themes.
If you have any new theme suggestions let me know and I'll add them here. Include a link to go with it if you can.
Themes with multiple links are bound to have duplicate titles; omitting them is just too time-consuming. "Total titles" aren't always accurate.
Theme names are subject to change. In other words, the titles and cheesy taglines will come later for some, so please don't judge them based solely on their potentially boring titles here.
Voting is underway.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 15: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Checklist Suggestions
For the checklist I recommend two changes to help restore some of the 'fun' to it. It use to be interesting to try to 100% the checklist and these two items block that. We shouldn't neuter the checklist, but these fields are horrible slogs in my opinion that are overly specific. With the checklist it would be good to keep to more general items.
Delete Masters of Commentary - The 'Masters of Commentary' field is way to limiting, we already have a commentary checklist item so MoC is somewhat redundant. Even some on the 'masters of commentary' list don't have a whole ton of commentaries (like Joe Bob Briggs is masterful on I Spit on Your Grave but good luck finding his other commentaries). Commentary is a niche field and encouraging people to watch some of those listed versus others feels arbitrary, there are many many worthwhile commentary tracks and MoC ignores so much of the potential with commentaries. If 'Masters of Commentary' must persist maybe it could be merged with 'horror host' to give more flexibility as 'horror host or master of commentary.'
For reference here is last year's 'Masters of Commentary' checklist item:
Merge 'Recently Deceased' into Just One Check - I love the nod towards RIP but think just having one checkbox with maybe a separate 'recently deceased' reference post would be better. The recently deceased checklist field seems too exhaustive and ends up with so many individuals with marginal horror contributions. Since these are often not luminaries it's hard to appreciate and even notice their role in film often resulting in watching random movies with no idea who the person is - this year I think one was an extra in Blood on Satan's Claw but I know nothing about the dead guy even now. Bigger names like Umberto Lenzi or Ulli Lommel should maybe automatically get added to actor/writer/director categories or even get their own theme day (like we did with Tobe Hooper or George Romero).
For reference here is last year's Recently Deceased item:
Movies You’ve Never Heard Of – watch movies you’ve never heard of; you know those random movies on Netflix or Shudder that look maybe good but nothing to go on.
[Inspired by Blood Demon Rising, a movie I’d never heard of that really ended up sucking so trying to get something out of it; also Phobia 2 which was much much better]
One Man Band - movies with the same writer and director, I noticed several times this seems to be the case with a lot of film and wondered if it helped to have a singular vision. [Is this also what 'Master of Horror' refers to? For some reason I though MoH was just a more prolific director, not necessarily writer].
https://thescriptlab.com/features/th...ers-of-horror/
Expand Agoraphobia - include any phobia or paranoia.
Eurohorror - seems like this should be a always on staple.

Has Dominique Swain been used in a checklist yet? If not she has 19 horror films under her belt.
https://www.imdb.com/filmosearch?exp...&genres=Horror
Disembodied body part (hand, head) - probably not enough for a theme but could be a checklist item
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]

--- Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror (1981) -
--- Hobgoblins (1988) -
--- Microwave Massacre (1983) -
--- Killer Condom (1996) -
Theme or Checklist Item:
Watch any horror film on anyone's 'best of' list.
Referring to 'best of' lists might add a nice level of discussion and reference. Could be any list for any thng or narrowed to something more specific.
I like moving one-word titles and anniversaries to the checklist rather than themes.
Expand Agoraphobia - include any phobia or paranoia.
Add watch any horror film on anyone's 'best of' list.
Delete Masters of Commentary - change it to just 'watch a commentary.'
* takes place on a farm/rural (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls076573570/)
* Revenge movies could be an entire theme (https://www.imdb.com/search/title?ge...ort=moviemeter)
* Horror in which the hero is a kid or teen
* Disembodied body part (hand, head) - probably not enough for a theme but could be a checklist item"
One-Word Titles:

Any interest in adding "kaiju/giant monster" to the checklist? With the Criterion set streeting at the end of the month, it seems like we ought to show Godzilla and his brethren some love.

15 year Anniversary - Watch movies that are 15 years old

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 15: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Alright, a few things worth mentioning...
Also...
- Yes, we're up a bit early this year. As such, I've had less time to prepare, which means a few things are still in progress.
- Another post was added due to the previous theme nights list exceeding that ridiculous image limit.
- The old 'Returning Favorites' has been divided into two separate categories - Reoccurring Favorites and Returning Themes.
- No, I will most likely not be starting the main thread early. I'm behind as usual with the banner, and the January forum update is making things worse. Expect it around the usual time. That said, this thread will be here in the meantime, so don't worry about going off-topic every now and then.
- The IMDB keyword and Advanced Search added an 'Instant Watch Options' setting for anyone interested. Of course it's only good for Prime Video (and IMDB TV, whatever that is) since Amazon owns the site.
Also...
- I went ahead and added The 100th Birthday Celebration of Donald Pleasence and R.I.P. Larry Cohen themes to the 'Made the Cut' list. Does that really need an explanation?
- I did not automatically add The 40th Anniversary of Fangoria Magazine since its been covered 4 times in the past - (35th anniversary, R.I.P. Fango, The Chainsaw Awards, and The Return alongside Joe Bob Briggs). I'll leave that up to voting. Just remember, there is a new link taken from their "101 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen" book, and not just the usual links with covers.
- It's our 15th anniversary!

So excited to see this up now. I'm a planner, so appreciate the lead time!
And count me in for a subset pick again.

I'll volunteer to pick a subset. If you get more volunteers than you need, I don't mind being bumped.

12 volunteers down ...19 to go.
And forgot to mention the usual - theme suggestions. If you have any suggestions for new ones, previously mentioned suggestions I may have forgotten to add, *previously used themes that shouldn't be on the list, or even some combos that will pair up nicely ...please share. I'm still in the process of adding new ones.
*After typing that I just realized folk horror has already been used.
I didn't get much accomplished this being a July 4th weekend, but I'll try and step it up this upcoming week.
