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?

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)*

2. Laid to Rest (2009) also Hooded/Cloaked Killers

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

They've got something for everyone.

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?
