RIP Bert I. Gordon.

The first case of having a theme/checklist entry that's both a centennial and memorial.

RIP Julian Sands

He hasn't been found yet, though sadly I don't think he magicked his way out of this one.

It's been a long time coming, but this site is nowhere near as vibrant as it was a decade ago. Weve lost a lot of regular posters over the years, and the number of threads has diminished. I remember a time when the deepDiscount 20% off sales would spawn pages and pages of posts.

Chad 06-04-23 09:37 PM
Re: Comments, Suggestions & Feedback for the 2023 Horror Challenge
 
Time for the annual bump, which I almost forgot without the usual Darkgod reminder post. But yes, I'm planning on hosting this year after that poorly-worded last post from the main thread, that is, providing the forum's still around. ;) And yes, we're continuing with the much-needed changes implemented last year. Here's the post from last year's planning thread that explains everything if you were MIA. Look for the subset volunteer list in the next post.

The usual reminders...
<BR>
  • Don't forget that if you want your new-for-2023 theme suggestions to be eligible for this year's list you'll need to get them in before the pre-challenge thread goes up. Of course, *any* suggestions (optional list-related or otherwise) at any time are always welcome because that's what this thread is for, and everything will be carried over.
    <BR>
  • The Facebook page still exists. Don't count on updates being automatically posted to your timeline because, well, Facebook sucks. You'll most likely need to periodically click the link since only a select few seem to receive that privilege.
    <BR>
  • The pre-challenge thread will go live in July. Last year's went up 7/10, so expect it sometime around then. The revealing of the theme list and subset prep starts soon after.

In the pretty likely event that I am still here in October, I was thinking about doing a vice-versa roulette. Either everyone that got a "good" movie last year who participates this year gets a "bad" one and vice versa. OR, it's 5 bullets and one "good" film when I make the lists.

I welcome thoughts, of course.

I like the 5 bullets idea; long live horrible cinema.

Just a quick reminder that the pre-challenge thread will be going up in a few days (7/10 last year) followed by the themes list shortly afterwards (7/13 last year).

Thanks to all the subset volunteers so far; we're currently at 16, but could always use more. For comparison's sake we were at 17 this time last year, and went on to a total of 25.
<BR>
  • If you have any Indie/Arthouse and/or Comedy Crossover suggestions feel free to go ahead and share 'em.
    <BR>
  • Same goes for the 1980s Video Companies Spotlight choice.

Spoiler:

The Critcononline website is back! That, or VHS Collector are great for distributor choices.

So far we've used Vestron, Embassy, Media Home Entertainment, Prism Entertainment, Thorn EMI / HBO Cannon / HBO Video / Lightning Video, VCI/United and Wizard Video.
