Now that I look at it closer it looks like this ends September 30th. I guess I fail my reading test.

Most of the Gamera movies are pretty bad and almost unwatchable. The three movies from the 90s are some of my favorites of the genre. I had decided not to buy the Arrow set since I own all of the films on (admittedly lackluster) Blu-ray. However, as soon as it became impossible to get, I started regretting my decision, and I was one of the people watching as Ronin Flix sold out in seconds. I think there's something in my brain that just wants to collect all movies especially if the packaging and presentation are interesting.

So, this is pretty awesome - looks like Fantastic Fest will have its virtual screenings be free to everyone in the U.S.!
While this is definitely scaled down from their normal festival, I've always wanted to attend and this will be a cool way to get a peek!

Thirst is a compelling film by a great filmmaker. I love that we have a variety of films in the subset list each year: gory, artsy, cheesy, dramatic, funny, etc. My pick is about a Spanish werewolf trying to find a cure in Feudal Japan. It's not scary, but I hope folks find it entertaining.

Question about the checklist. Is there a limit on how many items a film can cover? For example, 60's, Vincent Price, A film based on Edgar Allen Poe, etc. I recall that the last time I did the full challenge, I aimed for a unique film for every slot in the checklist, but this year I just want to complete it as efficiently as possible because I have other goals. I have a list of specific films I want to get through.

The B-Movie TV Video On Demand app that Dimension X mentioned a few weeks back in the pre-challenge thread just launched:
Just did a quick browse through and looks to be a pretty solid selection of horror.

Wow. I only checked four services (Prime, Netflix, Shudder & Tubi), but apparently completely zoned out on Tubi. Even a couple of Shudder's snuck by me.
Thanks, I'll add those links to the list soon.

A plug for Shocker Internet Drive in at the Internet Archive. Over half of the double features are horror.

I'm a little disappointed with the new channel because there's nothing there that I haven't already seen (I was kind of expecting this since I watch the main channel so much), but they say they'll be adding more movies going forward, so I'll keep checking back.
Still, the selection is good enough that I saw a few horror movies I might re-watch during the challenge.

Yesterday he said on Facebook that now that the channel had been approved by Roku he could add more "sleazy" stuff. Plus, he's worked out a deal with some distributor (not sure if that's just for the main channel, the VOD channel, or both), so he should be adding some new stuff soon.

Would you consider I'm Thinking of Ending Things horror? It has Toni Collete, and she's on the checklist. I assumed it was, but imdb lists it as "Drama, Thriller" so that's a no? Is the imdb catagories the final say?

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 16th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31)
The unofficial early start has officially begun.
A few reminders...
Stats are not official - they won't count towards the official tally.
You voted, that was the outcome. So many ways to go about it - leave the unofficial days unnumbered, restart the numbering process once you hit the official start date, or simply don't participate during this time and wait until the usual start date. Of course you can always join the discussion regardless of what you do.
The official Themes, Subsets, and not-quite-finished Checklist do not count towards the period between 9/15 - 9/29. However, there is an unofficial themes list chosen by Random.org as mentioned above here.
Everything else is business as usual minus the Sunday night trivia questions. Just think of this as a 2-week warm-up or practice round.
