This would also be awesome to be able to upload said CSV into a program that would convert it to HTML and post it here in the List thread.

We've started the process of getting our house ready to list, so I just boxed up all my movies 
. I'll be 100% reliant on streaming this go around, so it will be interesting.

Spoiler:
Just added the Shudder 61 Days of Halloween and Freeform October schedules to the TCM/Channel schedule table on the first post. It WILL be updated this year. Removed Chiller TV from it due to it ceasing operations in 2017 and all.
I found this page that lists every TCM film for this month and October, if people want to make viewing plans.

So the Bruno Mattei masterpiece Cruel Jaws was just in stock at DD. It's currently backordered but has been popping in and out of stock recently, so might be worth keeping an eye out for if you missed the boat and don't wanna pay inflated prices.
If you haven't heard it was pulled from Severin (alongside the novelization) presumably by Universal for the unauthorized Jaws footage. Maybe the Jaws 5 slip played a small part as well? We all laughed at the "buy it now before the cease and desist orders" warning, but who's laughing now? I'm guessing Severin, and they'll probably still sell some at conventions.
It's also currently up on Tubi, at least for the time being.

I’ve been saving all my horror purchases for the year in anticipation of the challenge. Lots of first time views for me.

We’re all winners just by participating!
But yeah, the results thread was a crap-ton of work that Chad appeared to put as much work into as the preparation threads! So he retired from making the results threads several years ago. I did a simplified version of them once or twice, and have started work on one for last year. I’ll try to get it posted before October.

This might work. You wouldn't get 100% participation, but it would be interesting to see how much participation there was. Basically, everyone does double entry. At the bottom of the page hidden by comment tags, everyone enters their media in the agreed upon comma separated format. Keeping the data format short and simple would increase the likely hood of participation. At the end of the Challenge everyone that wants their data used for a results thread can post it (copy/paste) and then you can grab it for importing (some massaging is unfortunately inevitable). Something to think about.

Thought I'd mention this limited edition box - 'Silver Screams Cinema'. By far the best place to pick it up seems to be fishpond.com (good price and free shipping), but if you want it in time for October, you need to order now more or less. I ordered one today and it's supposed to show up the first or second week or October. As far as I can tell it's all region.
Edit: Reading more, it could work out! At that price it's worth the risk (for comparison, it's $60 w/o shipping from Imprint's website).

If only. I know they sold out sometime during last year's challenge because I distinctly remember being mad about missing it and the bundle with the novelization. At least I was able to snag the Blu during the mid-summer sale.

Reminder the Indie/Arthouse and Comedy Crossover Voting is currently happening in the pre-challenge thread. Started it slightly later than intended so it won't be up as long as usual.

I'll provide more detailed instructions if I get the go ahead.
To keep things simple, only movies. Everyone that wants to be counted needs to create a second movie list at the bottom of their list page. Format should look like this:
"Movie", Year, "Director", "Country", "Color", "FTV", "User"
Examples:
"X The Unknown", 1957, "Leslie Norman", "GB", "B&W", "N", "coyoteblue"
"Gremlins", 1984, "Joe Dante", "US", "Color", "Y", "coyoteblue"
You can use
Spoiler:
or or a html comment to hide the list (I think a html comment works better). The formatting isn't written in stone, but, once again, the simpler it's kept, the more people are likely to comply.
When a person has finalized their list they can post it and then I can collect the list, and when they're all collected I can import them and then I can do aggregate stats followed by individual stats. The kind of stats would be like:
Aggregate
Grand total # of movies
Grand total # of First Time Views
List of users who watched a given movie
Countries
Movies by Country
# of color movies
# of b&w movies
etc...
Individual
Total # of movies
Total # of First Time Views
# of color/b&w movies
Countries
Movies by Country
etc...
Yea or Nay?

You're being facetious, but I've thought about it and I'm willing to take care of a results thread this year at least, if we use my methods. If not, then I won't and nothing's really changed.
I'll provide more detailed instructions if I get the go ahead.

I'm basically in this camp, as I recall the dark old days of questioning people's health and honesty in reporting big stats. I think originally we'd aim for 100 (or another goal) and celebrate reaching that.
But I admire anyone who'd take on crunching the numbers further.

I support such an idea. It might be easier if we added a header so you can just ctrl+f for "stats_list_header". Of course, that is just me. And if I had my way, we'd have a header and footer and be able to export the whole thread into a file and then run a parser that yanked everything from the header and footer tags [stats_list][/stats_list]. But I'm just one of those people

It's definitely about more than how many movies anyone watched. I think it'd be interesting to see what movie was the most watched or what decade was the most watched (and list the movies) or what year in a given decade was the most watched (and list the movies), etc...
