For those waiting on a PM response that's not related to the subsets from me - I promise I'll get back to you soon. Just give me a day or two to get all the subset business taken care of.

Chad

So. very. close. There's just 3 people left that still need to give picks. I know I said wasn't going to, but in the interest of speeding things up, here's the three remaining unoccupied themes that just happen to all be reoccurring:

• Anthologies
• Zombies
• Halloween

We need picks from:

• pacaway
• cwileyy
• Trevor

I've also sent out PMs and/or emails to everyone.

I'm going to post the subset list either tomorrow or Friday at the latest, and that's despite whether or not we've heard from everyone by then. That way we'll keep on schedule and give you adequate time to make preparations. A physical media/streaming guide coming soon as well.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am really excited about seeing the subset films and starting to track them down. The subset films are exciting enough (and there is only one person left to pick their films, woohoo) but once that is done we can start on the Checklist, which means I can start choosing my movies to watch and tracking them down. It is finally starting to get real that the challenge starts three weeks from today (at dusk)!

Crossover vote:

Indie - Eraserhead
Comedy - Ready Or Not

I'm also excited to see the final subset and start collecting titles to watch!

jholmes

That sounds like fun! Great idea. I'd join you, but I'm working on They Shoot Zombies 200-400 and 21st Century top 150 this year. There are a number of movies in those lists that I've been avoiding for a long time -- like Hostel, Wolf Creek, and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Hills Have Eyes remakes. Time to get them watched, I think.

In the main thread…

jholmes

Thanks!

Chad

Feel free to start giving those actor, director, producer, composer, etc. suggestions if you want. I'm currently working on getting the checklist 2021 ready and should have that up before the weekend's over.

As always, the former checklists with what's been previously used are on post #5.

orlmac

Clancy Brown has 10 horror movies to his credit.

TerrorTerror

I'm excited to see the final list.

TerrorTerror

Should gialli be separated from slashers in the 'Slashers / Gialli / Serial Killers' theme and made into its own?

a) Yes.
b) No.
c) Other.

Absolutely!

orlmac

Potential actresses are Tiffany Shepis, Elissa Dowling and Arielle Brachfield. They all have 10+ movies I think, some more around 20.

Including Mortuary Tales which is a subset pick

CHECKLIST CONSTRUCTION

Let's build this.

I haven't gotten to everyone's suggestions (previous and current) just yet.

The usual - Every entry from actors to writers is new with the exception of the permanent rotating actors (Karloff, Lee, Legosi, & Cushing). Anything beyond that point that's in red is a new entry or just updated.

I included entries for Name In Title, Trailer Compilations, and Enzo Sciotti Art, which were all theme suggestions I couldn't find links for originally.

Current progress can be found in the wiki link, which directs to this post.

I would dump the Carradine check because only John has significant horror credits, and most of them suck, and the Clive Barker check because he has only directed/ written a handful of films and we've all seen them.

Some suggestions:

1. Killed by a child
2. Features a nightmare scene
3. Features an LGBT character
4. Features a mask reveal (e.g. Dr Phibes)
5. Features a funeral scene
6. Title includes Bride of / Son of/ Curse of/ Return of
7. A character explodes or is disemboweled.
8. Features a severed head

I don't understand this check
--- Video ,2 -
--- 8mm (Super 8) -
--- 16mm -

All I have is DVD/ Blu-Ray/ and 4K. No 16MM or 8mm.
