2017 October Horror Movie Challenge

It's October so that means it's time for the yearly horror movie challenge.  Woo-hoo!!!

Last years challenge was unlike any I've had before, for 2 reasons.  First, I had the most number of people join me than ever before, making the challenge that much more fun.  And that accounts for the second reason, I watched the most horror movies I've ever seen in a month.  You can see the results here.  While I don't have plans to top or match the total number of movies from last year, this year I thought I'd set my sights on total number of movies I've never seen before.  I'll still watch some of my favorites throughout the month, but I've missed many B horror movies throughout the years so this will be my chance to remedy that.

As always, there are 2 options in the challenge and are as follows:
  1. For people with busy schedules, we have the basic challenge.  This is to watch 13 (or more) horror themed films through the month of October.  Of the 13 movies, 2 must be movies you're viewing for the first time.  These will be in bold.
  2. For those that have the time, we have the ultimate challenge. This is to watch 31 (or more) horror themed films during the same timeframe mentioned above.  For this, 10 of them must be movies you're viewing for the first time.  As mentioned above, these will be in bold.
As always, I've invited some family and friends to join me in the challenge.  I'll be updating their lists accordingly.
