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

1 spot. 2 volunteers. Welcome to the Terrordome! But seriously, I'll be happy to give up my spot if you both want one. It's really no problem at all, just let me know as soon as you can.

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

In the past the last few remaining were assigned (or chose) a specific theme. This year's a little different by allowing everyone to pick as many or as few as they want. Many of the picks this year are interchangeable with several themes attached, and quite a few volunteers have already given picks for every theme anyway, so that allows for some major flexibility. I know it sounds like a sloppy approach, but it's been successful so far.

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

I guess I'm easily confused, because I thought I would just be assigned a theme night, and I would pick an appropriate film to match...

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

Since I won't be watching all the subset films, and Trevor probably will, I'll bow out.

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

Here are my subset picks, I tried to go with categories that have had fewer suggestions:

Elvira's Movie Macabre 30th Anniversary - The Devil's Wedding Night

1980's Video Companies Spotlight - Tower of Evil

Giallo - The Corruption of Chris Miller

Anthology - Screams of a Winter Night

Ultimate Guide to Strange Cinema - Daughters of Darkness

Asian - Woman Chasing the Butterfly of Death

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

Just throw out a few and you're good.

Alright, with Trevor that makes 31. Big thanks to everyone for volunteering.

• The Four Seasons of Death will remain at one.
  <BR>
• The R.I.P. list will now be a minimum of five.

Forgot to mention those were all updated yesterday. This obviously happens every year, but this one cuts deep since it's from the Hollie Horror account, which is probably our most used source for links. No telling how many dead links we have outside of this year's.

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

You know, I was thinking of skipping this this year but it's become such a yearly tradition it'd be too missed even if I don't much take part in the discussions anymore.
In the last few years I've tried to do something different each time when it comes to my viewing. I've done a chronology of horror, watched only franchises, there was that year it was only 80s movies...

This time, I am thinking of going this route, a movie each year from 1920-2020, Ten films a decade and, for the most part if not all of them, films I've never seen before.

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

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. :up:

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

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:
<BR>

• Anthologies
• Zombies
• Halloween

We need picks from:
<BR>

• 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.
