Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
No One Dies, Skeptics, Disembodied Voices, and Housekeepers are all on post 6. It turns out we have already covered gas station attendants back in 2014 with 'Retail Establishment Terrors' alongside markets and shopping malls. This was one of the many Hollie Horror lists we've used over the years that was separated later into its own theme.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
I'm gonna have to postpone theme voting until tomorrow night (7/29). Too much to do and not enough time to do it. That puts us at 3 days behind last year's schedule, but that's still a good place to be. We'll catch up later.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Just a few actor suggestions:
*Julian Sands (22) *Christopher Eccleston (8) *John Goodman (5) *Tom Sizemore (31) *Jeremy Renner (5) *Idris Elba (14) *Tony Amendola (29) |
Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
^Added to post 10 suggestions. We've never had a Tom Sizemore entry.
Just realized it's MTV's 40th anniversary so I tacked it onto the Yo! OHMC Raps theme (w/ new link) since it sorta ties together, which makes it a feature theme. It's horror films with tie-in music videos, rap songs/videos, used by rappers sampling horror movie soundtracks, and simply making references in their music. Yo!

Horror Documentaries / Film Historian Approved:
Horror Documentaries - https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?t...&genres=horror (871 titles) Horror Documentaries 2 - https://letterboxd.com/newarchive/li...taries/detail/ (137 titles) Kim Newman - https://johnnyalucard.com/non-fiction/dvd-notes/ (??? titles) The Hysteria Continues - https://letterboxd.com/thccommentari...taries/detail/ (49 titles) Joe Bob Briggs - https://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk/6...l#post12901903 (11 titles) Tim Lucas - https://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk/6...l#post12901911 (5 titles) Stephen Thrower - https://thedigitalbits.com/tag/stephen-thrower (?? titles) (1,073 total titles) Here's this hybrid that's now on post 6. No, it's not complete. If it makes the cut I'll compile the Kim Newman entries into just commentaries since it's interspersed with linear notes. Hopefully we can find some more films with film historian commentaries, too. And yes, technically we have used horror docs back during the first theme nights list in 2009, but for some unbeknownst reason I didn't include links, so there you go. |

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Here's the annual taking a moment to shed a spotlight on the forgotten among us and remind everyone of their existence. These theme suggestions have been hanging around here since this thread started in 2015, and possibly even longer for some:
The Horror of War: (veterans, war scenes, war segments, war related zombies, war crimes, war ghosts, soldiers, bunkers, military, military base, etc.) https://letterboxd.com/holliehorror/...of-war/detail/ (210 titles) I Spit on Your Garage: (horror films featuring a garage/parking lot/parking garage/car park/mechanic shop, etc.) https://letterboxd.com/holliehorror/...garage/detail/ (268 titles) The Pen is Deadlier Than the Sword - Writers: (horror films with a central character who is a writer) https://letterboxd.com/holliehorror/...riters/detail/ (158 titles) Blood Showers: (water turning to blood from a sink, bathtub, shower, drain in a shower/bathtub, etc. and just plain showers) https://letterboxd.com/holliehorror/...-blood/detail/ (43 titles) http://flashbak.com/bathroom-nightma...-cinema-21319/ (18 titles) (61 total titles) Stop Motion Animation Horror: http://www.buried.com/horrormovies/k...s/stop_motion/ (116 titles) Some have come close, while others will never know the thrill of victory. (here's looking at you, 2016's Necrophilia in Horror Films). Also plenty of potential returning themes that have only been used once. See post 2 for those. |

I'll throw out a returning theme vote for Theater of Blood. It's only been used once back in 2015 and the perfect time to resurrect it with movie theaters being back in business.
14 subset volunteers still needed, BTW. |

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
***Theme voting reminder***
Not as many as usual are voting, and I will be posting the first round to make the cut soon. More often than not, a greater of people voting means a greater chance of getting to go straight to the elimination round. Please vote if you haven't already! 13 subset spots left. |

I'm in for a subset. Will be back later with theme votes.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Chad, I can do a subset if you need another warm body. I didn't participate last year due to work issues, and this year's not looking a whole lot better, but I'll at least try to hit the subset picks. I can't promise a whole lot more.
As far as theme voting goes, I honestly have no preferences. I'm more than willing to go along with the herd on whatever y'all decide. |
