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



Pre-Challenge 2015 / Pre-Challenge 2016 / Pre-Challenge 2017 / Pre-Challenge 2018 / Pre-Challenge 2019 / Pre-Challenge 2020 / Pre-Challenge 2021 / Pre-Challenge 2022 / Pre-Challenge 2023 / Pre-Challenge 2024

Welcome to the 11th pre-horror challenge thread for the 21st OHMC in 2025. The sole purpose is to hopefully get the optional lists done early and without distractions. Even when the main thread goes up this one continues ...until we're done.

We configure them in the following order - Theme Nights ---> 31 Film Subset ---> The Checklist. It's done that particular way due to the first two syncing up with one another, and so you can have some time to plan ahead accordingly.

In case you missed the announcement from the June 2022 planning thread, some changes have been made to expedite the pre-challenge process. It was a rousing success, so it continues. The theme nights list will be posted soon and subset volunteering is ongoing.

__________________________________________________________________________________


To make this thread as simple as possible...

Posts 2, 3, and 4 ---> Past entries for all three lists.

Posts 5 and 6 ---> Building Theme Nights.

Posts 7 and 8 ---> Building The 31 Film Subset.

Posts 9 and 10 ---> Building The Checklist.

Post 11 ---> Updates.


The wiki at the top of this thread will keep you updated on current progress.

__________________________________________________________________________________


That said, suggestions are always welcome, so feel free to contribute regardless of whether or not you plan on participating in the optional lists.





And away we go...

The usual reminder there's some broken formatting due to the November 2019 forum update (and the January one before it), which also continues to bring us our ridiculous 60 image limit.

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.

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

__________________________________________________________________________________
THEME NIGHTS CONSTRUCTION

Here's the new theme suggestions compiled together. We need to whittle them down to an acceptable number and decide which of the old themes make a triumphant return. Once again, there's quite a few anniversary, location-based suggestions, and the inevitable leftovers. Don't forget the ones with fewer titles (let's say under 50, with exceptions) will need to be paired up with one or two other themes.

If you have any new theme suggestions let me know and I'll add them here. Include a link to go with it if you can.

Themes with multiple links are bound to have duplicate titles; omitting them is just too time-consuming. "Total titles" aren't always accurate.

Theme names are subject to change. In other words, the titles and cheesy taglines will come later for some, so please don't judge them based solely on their potentially boring titles here.

List is currently incomplete.

The Monster Show: (taken from the book "The Monster Show: A Cultural History of Horror" by David J. Skal)

https://letterboxd.com/frankie13/lis...horror/detail/ (213 titles)

Featuring a new Afterword by the author.

Illuminating the dark side of the American century, The Monster Show uncovers the surprising links between horror entertainment and the great social crises of our time, as well as horror's function as a pop analogue to surrealism and other artistic movements.

With penetrating analyses and revealing anecdotes, David J. Skal chronicles one of our most popular and pervasive modes of cultural expression. He explores the disguised form in which Hollywood's classic horror movies played out the traumas of two world wars and the Depression; the nightmare visions of invasion and mind control catalyzed by the Cold War; the preoccupation with demon children that took hold as thalidomide, birth control, and abortion changed the reproductive landscape; the vogue in visceral, transformative special effects that paralleled the development of the plastic surgery industry; the link between the AIDS epidemic and the current fascination with vampires; and much more.

Now with a new Afterword by the author that looks at horror's popular renaissance in the last decades, The Monster Show is a compulsively readable, thought-provoking inquiry into America's obsession with the macabre.

Shock Value (title inspired by the book "Shock Value: How a Few Eccentric Outsiders Gave Us Nightmares, Conquered Hollywood, and Invented Modern Horror" by Jason Zinoman)

https://letterboxd.com/brodyconing/l.../genre/horror/ (121 titles)

Much has been written about the storied New Hollywood of the 1970s, but at the same time that Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorcese were producing their first classic movies, a parallel universe of directors gave birth to the modern horror film. Shock Value tells the unlikely story of how directors like Wes Craven, Roman Polanski, and John Carpenter revolutionized the genre in the 1970s, plumbing their deepest anxieties to bring a gritty realism and political edge to their craft. From Rosemary’s Baby to Halloween, the films they unleashed on the world created a template for horror that has been relentlessly imitated but rarely matched. Based on unprecedented access to the genre’s major players, this is an enormously entertaining account of a hugely influential golden age in American film.

Satan in the Celluloid: 100 Satanic and Occult Horror Movies of the 1970s:

https://letterboxd.com/johcvc/list/s...luloid/detail/ (102 titles)

Evil cults! Demonic possession! Black magic! The 1970s were gripped by an obsession with the devil and all his works. This book explores 100 devilish movies that blazed across the screens of the drive-ins and grindhouses of the decade.

They were a product of their time. The counterculture of the 1960s had soured with the brutal actions of the Manson Family sparking fears of cults and hippie mysticism. Christian fundamentalism was on the rise and the Satanic Panic of the 1980s was just around the corner. But, for the 1970s, the devil stalked the screens as a figure to be feared, invoked, exorcised and worshiped. He possessed young girls, demanded blood sacrifice and caused nuns to cast off their habits and indulge their most blasphemous and erotic desires.

From the heavy hitters like The Exorcist and The Omen to the drive-in favorites like Race with the Devil and The Brotherhood of Satan to foreign entries like Suspiria and The Wicker Man, this book takes a deep dive into the demonic movies that thrilled and terrified audiences of the 1970s.

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

Optional List Suggestions



Unrelated sequels should be a checklist item next year (thinking about 'The Curse' films).
Edit: Amityville, House (thanks Trevor), Hellraiser, Howling, etc are other examples.

I do recall 2025 being the 50th Anniversary of Jaws and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, though.

Funerals might be a good checklist item for next year (probably too drab for a whole theme day).
https://www.horror.land/10-of-the-be...uneral-scenes/

Add Tony Todd to next year's RIP list

Here are some suggestions:
Remove Luchador from the checklist, it seems too limited - I found a list of 19 titles and not all are even Luchador films (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls045016353/)
Add Home Invasion as a checklist item (or even a theme day) - here is a list of 319 home invasion horror films (https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?t...sion&count=100
Made for TV Movies as a theme day IMDB Advanced says there at over 3,000 made for TV horror movies [not including shows in that] (https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?t...enres=horror); also on YouTube TVTERRORLAND is hosting some interesting ones (https://www.youtube.com/@TVTERRORLAND)
'I'm going to the bathroom' trope temporarily to checklist - could bet set in a bathroom, character leaving to go to the bathroom, etc https://littleredhorror.wordpress.com/2021/06/13/check-in-relax-take-a-shower-the-35-best-scary-bathroom-scenes/

I know we aren't working on the checklist yet but before I forget we could consider Robert Zemeckis as producer. He hasn't been used yet and shows 17 movies in IMDB with at least 7 being on TSZDT lists.

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

Things are starting a bit late this year. The explanation can be found in the comments thread.

The theme suggestions list (post 5) isn't entirely complete, but I'm putting the focus on getting the themes list up (soon, hopefully). As always, I'll try to send reminder PMs to all the subset volunteers once it's up.

We're currently at 20 subset volunteers. And thanks to Darkgod for starting the list.

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

Since the Severin Sale Summer is currently happening, I'll mention the Jaws 50th Anniversary theme, which includes both Jawsploitation and Animal Attacks subcategories is going to be on the themes list. Some as low as $6.24 in the up to 75% off SRP section.

And...


UHD Upgrade Sale is Sunday.

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

There's been some good suggestions made for Arthouse Horror and Comedy but no real votes so I'll get the ball rolling. For Arthouse Horror I vote for Kiss of the Vampire (1963) (Hoopla, Tubi, Fawesome) and for Comedy I vote for Scary Movie (2000) (Hoopla, Paramount+, MGM+). I reserve the right to change my vote if better ideas come up, of course.

Uh oh, I just looked at the how to guide at the beginning and saw that we are still in the suggestion phase. Please ignore my vote and consider my two movies as suggestions. That's Kiss of the Vampire (1963) for Arthouse and Scary Movie for Comedy. Sorry about that.
