Subset picks. Spoiled because I like to put an entry in every category and I don't want to make the page too long.
Spoiler:

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Here are primarily picks for Slashers/Serial Killers, but some would work in multiple categories. Figured I'd keep it simple for now, but I can pick other themes as needed.
Slashers/ Serial Killers (all of these selections are currently free on tubi.tv with links) 1. Rob Zombie’s Halloween II (2009) personally, I love it…dark and brutal. Rob Zombie’s Halloween hasn’t been picked yet either, but I didn’t see it on free streams) also would work for All Hallow’s Eveor Hooded/Cloaked Killers)* https://tubitv.com/movies/587293/rob...-ii?start=true 2. Laid to Rest (2009) also Hooded/Cloaked Killers https://tubitv.com/movies/520263/lai...est?start=true 3. The Collector (2008) also Hooded/Cloaked Killers https://tubitv.com/movies/314320/the...tor?start=true 4. Hatchet (2007) https://tubitv.com/movies/348936/hatchet?start=true 5. Dark Ride (2007) https://tubitv.com/movies/371066/aft...ide?start=true |

That Werewolf link is broken. Both documentary links are broken. Are we still doing the Criterion crossover, or is this changing to something else?

I also like the idea of Continuous Sequels as a theme (where a followup picks up right where a previous film ended); but cannot find a great source on that.

I think they're called 'immediate sequels', at least that's what some of the trope sites call them.
Army of Darkness Phantasm II Aliens Halloween II... Also, feel free to add me as a volunteer. Thanks! |

I'd like to put in a vote for United Home Video--they released about three dozen horror films, including a few infamous shot-on-video titles (Blood Cult, The Ripper), some actually good films (The Asphyx, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage), and some truly delightful '60s and '70s crap (Hillbillys in a Haunted House, Satan's Cheerleaders, Asylum of Satan). They've got something for everyone.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
We're now at 8 subset volunteers needed.
I'm working on updating post 9, BTW. My ISP is currently updating/improving their broadband infrastructure and I've had a very spotty connection with some outages over the last couple of days. I'm very slowly getting things done. |

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
Ill do my subset pics later tonight.. but I feel SterlingBen should be the one to pick the theme night named after him (and it has nothing to do with me loving Slither)

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
I'll be happy to host a subset pick again this year. Thanks.

Some alts might be I Bought A Vampire Motorcycle, Split Second, Cutting Class or Harpoon. |
Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
^Don't worry, the chances of SB getting attached to that theme are extremely high.
Also this didn't even cross my mind until now... Should we go the chrono route and have four picks for the 'Four Seasons of Death' theme, or just stick to one? |

I would love to pick that theme but also absolutely don't feel like it has to be me. And now that I am looking into it it seems like the Slither blu-ray is pretty out of print... maybe a little less accessible then I was intending.
