***Official 19th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2018*** (1 Viewer)

[John Stell]

1. Watch 13 Scary/Horror/Halloween-Themed films, etc. from midnight October 1, 2018 through on October 31, 2018 (use your own time zone to set the ending time).

2. Theatrically released films and short features count as 1 point each. Running times are irrelevant. TV specials (e.g. "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!") and individual episodes of anthology TV series (e.g. "The Twilight Zone") also count as 1 point each. For episodic TV series, 2 hour-long episodes (e.g. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") count as 1 point and 3 episodes of 30 minute-long episodes (e.g. "The Munsters") count as 1 point.

3. Two of the 13 films, et.al. must be new discoveries, movies you've never seen before. The point of this is to see those few movies you've always meant to see, but never got around to. Please specify new discoveries in your film list by making them bold, adding asterisks, different colors, etc.

4. Come here and talk about 'em.

5. There is an uber-category, the Ultimate Splatter Challenge for those who wish to put all of the rest of us to shame. This is the heavyweight division. These people, if they choose to accept the challenge, must view 31 horror/scary/Halloween themed movies before dawn on Nov. 1st. Ten new discoveries are recommended for this one. The rest of us will bow down in awed reverence to these truly "Splatterific" HTF members. The bragging rights will be awesome and long lived.6. What movies qualify? If you wanna include it, go for it. There will be no hairsplitting. If The Wizard of Oz sends you to the dresser for a fresh pair of boxer shorts, all the power.At the end of the challenge, the totals will be added up based on the point system outlined in number 2 above.

Reserve your spot below!

I'll give it another go. I didn't do too badly last year. I'll try harder this year.

 

[Winston T. Boogie]

October 1:

The Evil (1978)

 

[Detour (1945)]

I'll give it a go. I do a horror marathon every October. My friend and I call it our Shocktober Marathon (doubt we're the first to call it that).

I'm in for the ultimate challenge, as that's what we usually do. My only problem will be updating my results regularly, but I'll try my best.

First time viewing = RED

Theatrical rewatch = BLUE

TV Show/TV Special = GREEN

My spot! I’ve been trying to hold off watching any horror-related movies on Netflix/Hulu/Prime so October will be more fun!

My spot! I’ve been trying to hold off watching any horror-related movies on Netflix/Hulu/Prime so October will be more fun!

I've been holding off too! My big plan was for this year to be my final year, and watch all the main franchises in order of release date. Seeing how this is the 19th year of the challenge, it makes more sense to do that for the 20th. So I think this is going to be my "warts and all" year where I watch all the stuff I never got to in the previous years. I never did finish watching all the VIDEO NASTIES for example, and I started that probably at least 5 years ago!

I'm in. Wouldn't miss it.

October 2:

Eyes Without a Face (1960)

Reggie, do you live on a different planet than the rest of us? One where October has already started?

I'm going to have a specific theme to my challenge this year. It's based on this quote from What Dreams May Come.

"The real hell is your life gone wrong"​

So, please don't tell me that the movies I'm watching "Aren't horror movies."
I'm only going to post what movies I watched in this post. I have another thread where I talk about them in more detail.
