I'm not opting out of the draw - although I may pass up a prize if there's nothing left that I want - but I don't do it for the hope of reward. I don't watch movies for any reason except that I want to. What's the point otherwise?

It's not so much that anyone is doing it for a prize, it's just more of a ceremonial or traditional thing that seems appropriate for a fun challenge like this.

M_Sinistrari posted:For most of us the reward is in introducing someone to a movie they didn't know about. I’ll second this, but also it’s just nice to be festive. I really like October and Halloween, so it’s fun to do a thematically related thing and then share that as a group.

Yeah, and I like to think that when I see a movie I wrote about appear later in the thread that there is a small chance they checked it out because I wrote about it earlier.

Hot Dog Day #89 posted:Yeah, and I like to think that when I see a movie I wrote about appear later in the thread that there is a small chance they checked it out because I wrote about it earlier. That's why I list how/where I watched a movie, so if someone's curious about it they know where to look.

I pretty much only watch these on DVD, so I got not place to recommend.

Totally forgot that I also have a code for Sleepy Hollow, I doubt if that changes anyone's mind about opting out but let me know if it does.

A lot of times after watching a movie I’d go back through the thread looking for other people’s takes on it, at least if I knew I’d seen it before.

Basebf555 posted:I won't begin the drawings for another 24 hours, so if your name is on the list but you want to opt-out, you still have time to let me know. Opting out. The new gang tag is cool, but I like skeletons way more than Jason so prefer the old one.

Russian Guyovitch posted:I still need to toss together my wrap-up, but would also like to go for the Jason tag. Finally, a wrap-up post: I didn't really have a lot of stand-outs this year, so I haven't bothered trying to identify any best and worst films.

PRIZE WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT I've drawn the 8 winners for the horror movie codes. I think what we'll do is have each winner PM me(or just post if you don't have PMs) a top-3 list of their most desired movies and we'll go in order, with the first winner drawn getting first priority choice, and then go from there. The first winner, and therefore the person who gets their #1 choice of movie is........Jedit!!! The rest of the winners were drawn in the following order: 2. Russian Guyovich 3. Nikumatic 4. rodbeard 5. Justin Godsock 6. Xenomorph 7. Deadite 8. alf-pogs 9. Biff Rockgroin If any of the winners have actually opted out and I didn't see it, feel free to let me know now and I'll just draw another name. The list of available movies: Poltergeist(1982) Event Horizon The Nightmare Before Christmas Pearl(courtesy of Shrecknet) X(also courtesy of Shrecknet) The three potentially expired codes are: I Know What You Did Last Summer Angel Heart Scream So if one of the winners wants to try these out first and then take something else if they are expired, we'll give it a shot.

I really had such a great time - I loved being able to share my passion for horror movies and reviews and to have a few great conversations along the way. Thanks a whole bunch again for this, and congrats everyone! I'll be seeing you next year...and in the horror thread until then!

alf_pogs posted:sincerely my favorite thread on the forums I'll go further and argue that it might be one of the best threads for horror dorks on the internet. Low drama, everyone's cool and has eclectic tastes, and everyone just wants to help other people find/talk about weird poo poo. I love the horror goons more than a lot of people I know in actual life.

Hey everyone, I have submitted the gang tags and it's just on the admins to accept them. For those with a current gang tag that requested one of the alt tags, i kept your current tag but added the new one to like this using the marquee code. if you don't like it and prefer one tag only let me know.

I've thought long and hard about the logistics about having a little medal cabinet beneath names for all the years/events you've been here, but I don't know how to make it work without making the mods do a lot of work and they're not getting paid for putting up with all this bullshit so naw, lol
