Yes I'm already excited for this years October Challenge. I've stockpiled a nice pile of new watches on my DVR and I took off October 5th which will give me a 4 day weekend for horror binging.

Aiming for 90 movies this year. Got 132 in 2017, but since I want to review each movie I watch for FE, have to lower expectations a bit.

Of the 90 movies, 40 are going to be from my IMDb WatchList (all-new movies I want to see), 20 are going to be rewatches, 15 are going to be random completely random flicks, 10 are going to be movies I have saved on my DVR, and 5 are going to be exclusively from NetFlex or Shudder.

I just want to average two movies a day in order to meet the requirements while avoiding burnout.

pretty excited, but I have no goal in mind. I'm just going to cruise and wind up wherever. But then that's what I did last year and utterly demolished my previous best records.

Same. I haven't seen many Hammer films at all. I've been watching Cinnemassacre reviews on youtube and they've made me interested.

I've not personally seen a whole bunch of Hammer films, though almost all of the ones I've seen have been pretty damn solid.

I love Hammer horror and really enjoy films directed by Terence Fisher

Of the 21 horror films Fisher directed, I've seen nine of them. Only one I didn't really care for was The Brides of Dracula (1960), though that's one of the 1,600+ movies I still need to rewatch.

Gonna try to do one film per day. I want at least 20 new watches. Older horror is what I wanna watch.

I told J-Mac to watch the Changeling like 5 years ago. He won't listen.

The Changeling will be an awesome New Watch for him though might be the best movie of his whole Challenge.

Yeah, it's been a while that others have been telling him to watch it.

Don't really remember The Changeling. Been at least four+ years since I first saw it.

Hopefully it's as solid as many of you say, then maybe it'll be a grand rewatch.

It's well liked and respected, so you'll probably hate it :P
