Subset picks. Spoiled because I like to put an entry in every category and I don't want to make the page too long.
For 1980's Video Companies Spotlight - has there been a decision on which company we're going with this year?

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)

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 was happy to see one of my favorites of his being used for the upcoming Near Dark UHD from StudioCanal. That is light years ahead of the last Twilight inspired cover. Used some of his poster art on a few of the banners, too.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
For 1980's Video Companies Spotlight - has there been a decision on which company we're going with this year?
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.
https://vhscollector.com/index.php/d...ted-home-video
And just for convenience's sake, here are the video companies that have already been used:
2015 - Vestron
2016 - Embassy
2017 - Media
2018 - Prism
2019 - Thorn EMI / HBO
2020 - Lightning

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.

^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 try to do all the chronological movies, but may not get them all done in one day. I would likely try to be consistent with the four seasons.

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.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 17: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
I try to do the subset films in the day they were assigned so it would be tougher to do two 4 movie marathons. So I would probably rather stick to one, but that being said, I'm just one person so it wouldn't be too big of a problem with doing it twice. It's my obsession so I will be happy with what is decided.
