Spooky Season approaches once again. Are you prepared, boils and ghouls?! Let's see how you dismember the rules! Though some would say this is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules.
1. Count Your Candy: You mission, should you choose toaxcept it, is (to attempt) to 31 films between October 1 and October 31, and join the select few who get to claim their Hellish No Prize. While a film per day is encouraged, double and triple-billing (or more) is perfectly acceptable and often necessary. Few make it to 31, and fewer still dare to go...beyond 31.
2. Multi-media of Madness: The movies shall not be just theatrical, obviously. original TV, Cable, digital, disc, streaming, Youtube,theatrical, your weird uncle's VHS in the basement, all fine as well. You can even watch the movies on your phone, if you enjoy breaking David Lynch's heart.
3. Leave A Trail: Besides a title, please include some other identifying info for each film, whether it be year of release, stars/director, a description or a link. This will allow the others the chance to add to their watch lists for later or just to compare progress. Feel free to also add poster art and/or trailers as well to put some life into your posts . And of course your own thoughts on film would be nice to hear...before the end.
4. (Episodic) TV Rots Your Brain: Halloween-themed episodes of a regular series don't count towards your final tally. Nor do episodes of supernatural-themed shows like Stranger Things, The Walking Dead, Buffy, etc... TV specials like It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown may count. Use your judgement on if a short film is too short to count as a film in itself or if you want to mark it as a half an entry. If you plan on binging through an entire season of something, that's worth noting but you should count it separately if at all, along with any other series episodes you might want to talk about.
5. The Halloween Spirit is Inside You All Along. It doesn't have to be an actual 'horror movie', per say. Action and comedies dealing with macabre/supernatural elements, are fine, or Burton's stop motion animated films, etc...
666. Feeding After Midnight. Use your own judgement as to whether a film begun reasonably soon after 12 a.m. counts for the previous day or next. But All Hallow's Eve itself can last till the crack of dawn, if you desire.
