image Sunday, May 13th is Mother's Day. It'll also mark the beginning of the Mother's Week Challenge.

The idea behind this challenge is simple: to honor mothers for a whole week instead of one day. All types of mothers count, from any genre.

You can take 1 point for each instance of the following:

Title Point - The word "Mother", "Mom", or another variation is in the title

Character Point - A mother is a main character

Mother's Day Point - Mother's Day occurs (doesn't have to take place the entire time)

Fake Point - Someone pretends to be a mother (mainly have the Psycho movies in mind, or it could be something like an alien in disguise; e.g. Body Snatchers (1993))

Nude Point - A mother undresses

Sex Point - A mother masturbates or gets laid (can be claimed with the Nude Point if it's the same scene)

Fight Point - A mother gets into a fight with someone or something

Abuse Point - A mother abuses or tortures someone (physically or mentally)

Crime Point - A mother commits a crime (includes movies where it's initially unknown that the mother's the perpetrator)

Death Point - A mother dies


Only movies are allowed this time around. As I said, it's 1 point per instance, so if a mother kills 3 people, that's 3 Crime Points.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, this is the place for it. Especially if it's something regarding the rules for points. Feel like they're confusing or maybe a rule should be added or removed? Please let me know.

Considering that this is only my second time hosting a challenge and I'm taking a shot in the dark with how obtainable some of these points might be, I'm completely open to feedback and making changes. Hence why I'm posting this discussion thread a couple days ahead of time.

Since I'm nearly done writing my next book, and I finished all my current shows, I have enough time to give this one at least a little bit of effort. I think I'll rewatch some Psycho movies, and try to finally see Troma's "Mother's Day". I don't want to set my goals too high for this, since I'm a lazy piece of shit, but at least ONE ftv is my goal.

I'd like to see Mother's Day as well. One other FTV will be Mom and Dad. I'm not always a Nicolas Cage fan, but it sounds like fun trash.

nice job with the points system, after minutes overload needed an injection of imagination and you nailed it

I assume that a mother killing a zombie doesn't count as a crime point.

Nah. Could be a fight point if she struggled with it.

Fuck! This thing is already over? I watched an entire two movies, but fuck it. I liked them both. The Troma one was high quality (for Troma standards), and the "remake" was pretty awesome.

I wanted to watch more, but I still haven't gotten my new box, and I'd rather not dl stuff if I can help it. This was a decent mini-challenge though. Hopefully one of us gets an idea for something else soon. I hate it when there isn't a challenge going on, because then the place seems aimless.

If Mother's Day (2010) does indeed count as a remake, it's a rare case where I prefer the remake to the original. I wanted to revisit the Psycho movies, but only managed to get in the first. A shame because 4 would've racked up a good amount of points.

I'd be willing to host a challenge for this week and/or next week. Next week would bleed into June, but only for a couple days. Got any ideas? Even just a genre you're in the mood for that I could build a point system around?

There's still Western Week, though I feel like interest in that might be incredibly low, even for just a week.

My one other specific idea at the moment is Week of the Dead. It would be a zombie challenge. I already have a few point ideas for it in mind too.

good work with the innovation on this challenge. Like Box i found that the week flew by without too many mothery viewings, but was still fun to participate.

MD 2010 is remake in name only, it bares little resemblence to the Troma one, other than a vicious matriarch with some male offspring to do her bidding.

I would rec Goodnight Mommy to everyone who enjoys a slow burning strange twisty psychological horror.

There was also Queenie in both, though it sounded more like a lie fabricated by the mother in the remake than an actual character.

I'd like to see Goodnight Mommy and intended to during the challenge, just never got around to looking for it. I rec Mom and Dad if you haven't seen it yet. It was pretty much The Crazies, except with Nicolas Cage.
