***Official 22nd Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2021*** (1 Viewer)

[Michael Elliott]

1. Watch 13 Scary/Horror/Halloween-Themed films, etc. from midnight October 1, 2020 through on October 31, 2020 (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. "The Walking Dead") 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. 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.

My schedule is hectic but I'll somehow still end up watching 100 movies. Guess I'll sleep in November.


EDIT: Holy shit, I watched 155 movies last challenge?! The best part is that I didn't even come close to winning.

I'm not going to be anywhere near a hundy this year as my work is going to interfere like crazy but I'll log what I can.

Reviews are on a 1 to 5 scale with 5 being the best. Titles in BLOOD RED are first time viewings. The odds of me going to the cinema are zero but if I do those titles will be GHOUL BLUE.

Good morning (in my time zone at least)! Some of us have been gearing up for this year's Scary Movie Challenge since the end of August and posting over on the horror appreciation thread. There are some great recommendations over there for those looking to fill their lists for October.

One recommendation in particular came from Malcolm - Found (2012) playing on Shudder. I've only seen half of it so far, but I can say that if it holds to the first half, this is easily one of the best new horror films I've seen in years. I'm a forensic psychologist and work with serial killers. The depiction of a serial killer in this film (so far) is very good, a rarity in films. I haven't researched this yet, but I'm guessing the author of the book on which the film is based has done some serious homework. In fact, I've had patients who committed two of the acts depicted in the film!

John Stell has also introduced me to some fun films, and his reviews are a great read!

As an aside, I will be using the 5-star Hotel/Motel rating system for this year's challenge to honor the legendary Bates Motel.
