^Thanks for that one. Couldn't find a proper list so just made one.
Whatever's on post 7 is the most up-to-date version of what I have and don't have. Just any one of the days that don't have assigned dates I'll take suggestions for. Added Octaman.

October 8th is world zombie day. This has probably been used before. This is definitely harder than it looks!

On 6 October 1948, Victor introduced the Hasselblad 1600F. This model – a single-lens, mirror reflex, 6×6 camera with interchangeable Kodak lenses - evidently the first commerical camera. For subjective horror or Deadly Exposure themes.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 16: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Thank you for those ...especially the photo date! I had George Eastman submitting a couple of patents on Oct 14, 1888 but it conflicted with RIP John Saxon.
Probably will go with the NOTLD premiere since there's not many zombie hunts this year due to COVID. I used 10/1 in the past, but I think that's for the Pittsburgh premiere and 10/4 is the main release date. Also World Zombie Day is actually 10/10, at least according to the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/worldzombiedaylondon (Trust me, I've made that mistake many times.) That one unfortunately conflicts with the mass marathon day, the only Saturday left for that spot.
Slashers/giallos/serial killers is pretty flexible since there's so many serial killer birthdays in Oct:
Still working on the others...
You find something great only to find out the spot's already taken.

I was going to mention The Lodger for Hitchcock as well. The other one that I think dips just enough into horror is Dial M for Murder. Such great villains in Strangers on a Train and Shadow of a Doubt, but I've never thought of those as horror.

For the checklist pick three you have never seen before I would suggest that we change date to made in the 1980's.

Talking about the 30th year anniversary of Dark Side magazine, I read that one of their long-time fans had put togather an a-z listing of all the issues on facebook. I'm not interested in facebook so I don't know how to look for it but maybe it would help with a checklist listing.

I think that's from the PDF I posted back in July and completely forget about. Can't believe I've had a link the whole time.
Thank you though.
Another potential theme and/or checklist anniversary entry - 30th anniversary of The Dark Side magazine. All I can find so far is this PDF of the indexes 1 - 210:

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 16: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Alright, I *think* everything is filled in and the checklist is done.
I went back and did an overhaul with the 'select 30' titles by rotating and/or replacing a few that were originally themes with newer and unused ones. Many were repeats anyway. Also added "the four seasons of death" as it own category.
Let me know if it is so I can plug into the table and get back to finishing the other stuff.

Everything looks done to me, but I miss one-word title. Still plenty to choose from so it looks ready to button down as far as I can tell.
