Then people need to count running times and not movies. You could watch SALEM'S LOT as one movie but I could watch THE APE, THE APE MAN and THE UNKNOWN in the same amount of time and be at three. If someone sticks to films from the 20s-40s then the running times are going to be between 60 and 70 minutes. If someone wants to 'win' they can simply watch stuff from these decades so there's always ways for people to sneak around and 'win' but I think most are doing it for the fun.
Plus, we never really know if people are watching these movies or if they just have them playing in the background while the viewer is cleaning the house, smoking a joint or talking on the phone and not paying a bit of attention to the movie. I think everyone is working on a trust level so I think people should have faith that people are going to be honest and watch what they want and not just "add up" titles to win.
Most of these have more than just a horror theme since I was talking about the very first horror picture (or at least the oldest one that's available for viewing). Plus, in 1910 ten-minutes was a movie just like in 1931 sixty-minutes was a movie. Neither of these times would fit in 2008 when we need everything to run 2 hours but that's just part of history.
