Who's going to start the thread for 2021?

 

[Malcolm R]

Isn't it usually the "winner" of the previous year? They're sort of the unofficial moderator. That's the "prize" you win.

I believe this is the tradition, yes.

Oops. I meant to reply to Russell. See below.

I usually go for at least a hundred. A we joked in previous years, there really is no "winning" this thing lol

Sure there is. Whoever becomes the most psychiatrically disturbed by the end of the month wins.

psychiatrically disturbed, try watching the Leprechaun series in it's entirety, in one complete sitting ,

never again.

Then I guess you should run this since you are probably in the best position to judge such behavior.

What happened to the actual prizes (copies of horror movies)?

I donated a bunch of titles to be given away to winners a few years ago, but it appears the "prizes" segment was killed off.

I wouldn't want to rob Michael of his reward for winning last year's competition.

 

[John Stell]

To be serious for a moment, some winners in the past have not wanted to run things for various reasons. I usually end up in 2nd place (usually a bridesmaid, not the bride) so I've posted the rules, etc. and done the month-end tallies. I'm willing to do that again if Michael doesn't want to.

Regarding prizes, I'm not sure if all the movies were given away or not. But I can tell you I haven't been contacted by an Admin person in the last couple of years regarding prizes.

Dunno. You'd probably have to check with an actual moderator/owner, or with the person to whom you sent the donations. As I recall, it seems like we've only had actual prizes once or twice over the years.

 

[AshJW]

Sorry that you will potentially not be able to join in.

I think I'll see how it goes at the beginning of October. Then I will decide if I can at least watch these 13 movies.

 

[Michael Elliott]

I can start the new thread whenever or if someone else wants to.... I won't complain. Whatever is good with me.

 

[dana martin]

18 more days

 

[Michael Elliott]

Ok, what if I start it on Wednesday?

Sounds good to me! Thanks!

 

[Michael Elliott]

The new one is up. Sorry for the delay but last night I decided to try and watch all seven POLICE ACADEMY movies today and then I had to run my daughter to her dance lessons.

"Well, I didn't hear anybody laughin', did you?!"

 

[Michael Elliott]

Haha. It's helping me to mentally prepare for cracking open that Milligan set for the horror challenge.
