DJ Nocker Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Its something myself along with practically everyone else on the IMDB horror movie forums do every October. THE RULES: You must watch a mimimun of 31 horror movies during the month of October, 16 of which are FIRST TIME VIEWINGS (this doesnt mean have one on while you are playing a video or cleaning the house, actually watch them). You are more than welcome to watch more than 31 horror movies, but if 16 are not first time views, it doesnt matter. The feature must be at least 50 minutes to count as a movie for the challenge. Documentaries about the horror genre are also welcome to be used An example would be "The American Nightmare" Keep it sane in terms of what you consider horror, although alot of people may find my little pony to be horrific in its creation, its not a horror movie, get over it. THATS ABOUT IT It may seem over or under welming, but give it a shot and see if you can do it, for hardcore horror buffs, it becomes increasingly hard every year to find first time viewings (unless you dont care if you will enjoy them or not). Its a lot of fun, I believe this will be my 4th year competing in the challenge. There is no first or last place, you either complete it or you dont. Although bragging rights are given to people who finish fast. Hope 1 or 2 of you decide to give it a shot, feel free to keep track of your list hear. Happy Horror movie watching! FIRST TIME VIEWS ARE IN RED Oct. ---- 01-Blood Creek, Evil Dead, A Haunting in Connecticut 02-La Horde, Scream 2, Scream 3 03-Nightmares in Red, White and Blue: The Evolution of the American Horror Film 04- Night of the Living Dead 05- 06-In the Mouth of Madness 07- Priest, The Howling 08- Wrong Turn 09- Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon Troll Hunter 10- 11- The Exorcism of Emily Rose 12- 13- 14- Event Horizon 15- 16- 17- Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak On A Plane 18- Fright Night (original) 19- Henry: Portrait of A Serial Killer 20- 21- The Ward, Vampyr (1932) 22- 23- Dolls 24- His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th, The Hills Have Eyes (2006) 25- 26- Insidious 27- Basket Case, Evil Dead 2 28- Re-Animator 29- An American Werewolf In London 30- Dawn of the Dead (original) 31- Inferno, Alien Edited November 1, 2011 by DJ Nocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroit Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I might do this with Timata...hmm. Now that I do have cable back, even though I hate TV (was cheaper to get all three than just land-line and internet), I know they always show some good old cheesy ones, especially on Fridays and Saturdays.

Still debating on where to start. I think when we come back from the clubhouse later, I'll ask Raven if he's up for a movie. If not, I'll pick something to myself, if so, then we'll both pick something together (D'AWWW...deranged and kawaii ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phee Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 "The feature must be at least 50 minutes to count as a movie for the challenge." Would like to emphasize this is without commercials, a lot of TV shows that have a "horror" component are an hour long with 15 minutes of commercials mixed in... therefore an episode of "Fringe" would not count... but say an Episode of "Masters of Horror" would count as it is uninterrupted. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iris Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 minor question: what category would a movie fall under if you've only seen small portions of it, but not its entirety. Still count as a newbie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
