I was waiting on Matheny to reclaim her place as host, but doesn't look like that's going to happen. So, here goes...

Welcome to the 2017 October Challenge. And for many of us, this is the first one away from the IMDb Horror board, which means it's no longer required to save your progress. So, fuck that no life having little cocksucker that used to make it necessary to delete the OP. Seriously. Kill yourself, whoever you were.

So, the rules, as I remember. To complete this challenge, one must watch at least 31 Horror films in the month of October. At least 16 of which shall be first time viewings. All are welcome to watch and list as many as possible.

No TV shows, no Documentaries. Horror films only.

If you're not positive as to whether or not a movie is of the Horror genre, just use your own judgement. If you feel like there's a little Horror in there, then it counts.

I'm gonna go with 45 minutes minimum for a movie to count.

Challenge begins when October begins, and ends with October ends.

No, wait! if I remember correctly, the challenge usually runs until 6 AM November 1st. So, for anyone wanting to have an all night Halloween marathon, there ya go!

If anyone has any questions or comments... https://trashepics.com/post/9/161/

Remember to list the number of movies/FTVs at the bottom, or it will not be counted in the results thread.

This is the year of trash. And this will no doubt prove to be the trashiest October Challenge of them all!

And this is where you make your spot. Have fun!

You should get some extra points, somehow, for watching a 1940's horror movie. That whole deacde sort of slips through the cracks, we all forget about it. There is someone (jimbred???) who has posted appreciative threads about that deacde before, at least on IMDB, but it doesn't get mentioned very much.

The 40s does go by unnoticed a lot. I'm not terribly fond of the decade, but I definitely want to see that Phantom of the Opera remake. I love the Universal Monsters, but I could never get a hold of that movie. Every time I find a stream, it's always for the wrong version. Like when I try to watch Maniac 2012, all it gives me is Maniac 1980.

Thanks and it is an overlooked and underappreciated decade for horror it feels like. There were some great Universal horror movies released during that decade. Same goes for the Val Lewton produced horror movies. I think the 50's is another overlooked and underappreciated decade for horror. It's mainly remembered for sci-fii, but I do think that some of the sci-fi movies released during that decade crossed over into horror.
