Also echoing others that I really enjoy the book themes! My bookshelves are gaining new additions every year, and I love it.

Sorry I’m late with picks… aiming to send over ideas today, unless it’s easier for you if I wait to see if anything themes are missing and go from there?

Although I just watched this a week ago, I highly recommend this one. In fact, I will give me a more legitimate reason to buy the BD.

Comedy voting: Abigail. I originally voted for Final Girls but this is one that I have wanted to see since I missed it at the theater and I didn't think of it when I was voting. And thank you Darth for helping me to decide to go ahead and change my vote. Sorry for my confusion Chad.

^Updated.
No worries. Votes aren't final until it's closed.
Yeah, I got lazy. That theme will probably come in handy if there's any last-minute changes.

Flash Sale 🏅 ~Go for the gold~ with the ill-fated Olympic hopefuls of Falcon Academy: The slipcover edition of our 4K...
Posted by Vinegar Syndrome on Monday, July 29, 2024
I meant to post this yesterday. Normally I don't reveal subsets before the official release date, but just wanted to give a heads up that this is a potential one with a very good chance of making the cut. Hamilton does have it for a similar price, albeit without the limited slip. It's also streaming on Shudder.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 20: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)
The voting for Crossovers is now closed.
I don't mean to abruptly end it, but they're needed earlier as some might occupy other spots.
They'll be revealed once the subset list goes up. I will say it resulted in a tie with one. Normally I'd do another round of voting, but really hoping to have the subsets complete by Monday (
), so went with the next best route to settle it - Random.org.
Speaking of subsets, there's still 3 volunteers that have yet to give picks. I'll be posting what themes are currently unoccupied soon, and send out another round of reminder PMs.
