Appreciate everything you and everyone else did Chad. Particularly after what you have been going through.

Was here in spirit even though I didn't have time to help this year.

Hopefully next year.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 21: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)

Okay.

Hi.



Last year, I participated in this challenge for the first time!

I watched many of the movies recommended in the threads and commented on them, too, and I had a lot of fun.

It's like interacting with a whole other side of DVDTalk, with members who seemingly only post for this, hello you!

I'm reading this thread a little but I'm overwhelmed as a new person.

Is there a way for me to contribute suggestions for the movies? If so, can you, Chad, or another seasoned vet of this challenge give the simple "in plain English" version of what to do and how to do it?

Thank you, and looking forward to October!

Hey story! Glad to see you aboard!

You already missed the suggestion time which was the picking of the movie subset list although Chad or someone else can correct me if I am wrong. Chad is going to post the sunset list on Sunday.

So then you are free to watch whatever you want to horror related during the challenge. You can also try to do the theme nights and pick a movie with the recommended theme. The subset movies are the ones people already gave suggestions for over the last month and you can watch them in any order once the challenge starts. Then post your thoughts on that particular movie in the corresponding review thread.

I think Chad set up the subset movies so if you watch them in the order given, it also checks off the theme nights. Someone correct me if I am wrong on that since I never worry with the thene checklist. I am lucky to get all the subsets in.

Hope that helps.

Also forgot to mention that you can always suggest or recommend films that you have seen before or during The Challenge in the main discussion thread. I know I have discovered several movies I might not have heard of or seen if others didn't rave about them there first.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 21: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)

Here's the 2025 Subset List in no particular order (aside from a few assigned dates) with the physical media and streaming guide included. The theme/subset hybrid table with all the bells and whistles is coming sooner than later, and same goes for the subset threads. Until that time the current status of the assigned dates can be found on post #33 of the pre-challenge thread.

As always, an eclectic mix with a few classics, modern, obscure, horror-adjacent, Lovecraftian, foreign, a remake (the good kind), some future OHMC "favorites", some gory, psychotronic, Gothic, some Romero, Spielberg, Maas, Mattei and Barker, family-friendly, erotic, a ManBearPig, a vampire phallus, avant-garde, two animated flicks, some undead biker hippies, giant snails, gratuitous nudity, excessive Don Knotts, a Universal classic, puss-spewing, Lynchian goodness, a transgressive exploitation flick that plays like an after-school special, a miniature Hulk Hogan, a Lemmy cameo, some child munching, a motorcyle-riding magical Dwarf/Goblin/Imp, a Category III ...err II hybrid classic, three movies set during Christmas, Some New French Extremity and a pissed off Australian woman. We have horror icons and A-listers galore - Lugosi, Karloff, Sarandon, Combs, Campbell, Moore, and that guy people think is Dermot Mulroney. There's three cat-centric films including a black cat, a space cat and an anthropomorphic mystery-solving cat, a film or two that's still playing theaters (or will be) and a giant tongue-monster. And, once again, some recent first-time Blu-ray and 27 picks (out of 51) with UHD releases, which is a record (I think).

If I missed something please let me know and I'll update accordingly. Comments welcome.

There will be more additions and updates for both the physical media and streaming links.

Great looking subset list. Lots of strength from the 90s including the Lynch films, Night of the Living Dead (an awesome remake), Necronomicon, Perfect Blue, Rumpelstiltskin, The Dark Half, Hardware, and of course, Cruel Jaws.

We have horror icons and A-listers galore - Lugosi, Karloff, Sarandon, Combs, Campbell, Moore, and that guy people think is Dermot Mulroney. There's three cat-centric films including a black cat, a space cat and an anthropomorphic mystery-solving cat, a film or two that's still playing theaters (or will be) and a giant tongue-monster. And, once again, some recent first-time Blu-ray and 27 picks (out of 51) with UHD releases, which is a record (I think).
Yowza, that's quite a paragraph. I had forgot about your description of the subset, that probably took you all day to write up! I love to read that and try to figure out what the subsets will be before I look at them for real. That is almost as much fun as looking at the completed subset list.

Great list Chad! I dont' think I could be any happier with The Loved Ones on the list. Pity I didn't' check the list earlier, as I would have taken the day off to go hunting for titles.

Yes, that write-up has me intrigued with a 'mystery solving cat'.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 21: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)

I don't know if these two have already been mentioned for the RIP entry on the Checklist, but if not, it'd be nice to add:

Terence Stamp (actor): Spirits of the Dead, Last Night in Soho, Link, The Collector, Superman II, The Mind of Mr. Soames, etc.

Scott Spiegel (writer/director/producer): Evil Dead II, Intruder, From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money, Hostel: Part III, etc.

The Cat (1991) is a fun movie. It's the second or third Wisely movie (the first IIRC is, The Seventh Curse (1986). A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)is just a stone cold classic.

Yeah, it's a nice change since last year's was pretty 80s-centric. Lots of great 90s choices this year, so gave some love to what I think is an underappreciated decade.

Honestly, it was less than an hour before posting, which is usually the case. I just use the same format and update the previous entries. And it doesn't hurt I've seen a good portion of the films.

That last one is, and I'll spoilerize it...

Spoiler:
Felidae.

I honestly think it will end up as a new favorite for some, that is, if they can get past some hard-to-watch scenes.

No worse than any random Giallo or, given that its German, late period Krimi. Only, cats not people.

I don't disagree; I absolutely loved it. I'm just throwing it out there for those that don't handle on-screen animal violence well. I know a few people that can't watch The Plague Dogs for that reason.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 21: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)

Actor - R.G. Armstrong (new) - 10 movies
Actor - Bill Moseley (last used in 2016) - 103 movies
Actor - Ian Abercrombie (new) - 13 movies
Actor - Michael Rooker (last used in 2015) - 19 movies

Caveat - my records only go back to 2010.

Re: Pre-Horror Challenge 21: Building of the Optional Lists (Themes, Subset, & Checklist)

I see that I screwed-up by suggesting Robert Zemeckis for producer twice. Let me correct that by replacing the second suggestion with Sybil Danning for actress. She has 17 credits and hasn't been used since 2016 (a popular year for my suggestions). I think a number of people here should like this suggestion.
