I'll opt out of the movie code drawing, but would take a Jason Gang-Tag (or that Art gang-tag if it gets tossed in the system).

Yeah I’d definitely like that sweet Sadako tag if it’s a thing (Red keeps winning) but otherwise would like the classic variety. Jason is a very bad boy!!

I love the sentiment, but I'd rather they went to someone who could use them!

This was already mentioned I think, but just a reminder that we also do a scaled down "halfway to Halloween" version of this challenge in May every year. Look for that in CineD, it usually goes up in the last few days of April. It's always a good time and I set the threshold for prizes to just 13 movies instead of 31 so it won't eat up all your free time for the month.

I'll opt out of movie codes as I think someone may appreciate them more, but if I can stack a Jason tag on top of the current one I'd very much like that.

I occasionally poke around CD but yeah the horror thread is the only one I have bookmarked and read on a regular basis. For a long time it was one of the best threads on the forums IMO, it's changed a bit over the years as posters come and go but it's still a chill place to shoot the poo poo about horror stuff

The names on this list below are posters who have completed the challenge and therefore have earned a tag, but haven't specifically requested the regular tag or the Jason tag. Please review this list and if you think you've earned a tag but your name doesn't appear, let me know. Please also let me know if your name does appear on this list but you DO NOT want a gang tag. I think so far the only person who's specifically said they don't want one is Phithy, so if anyone else isn't interested in the tag please give me a heads up. For those that wanted the Sadako tag, I don't know yet if that's going to be included as a possibility so let's assume for now that it's not.

If you already have a Spookadoodle gang tag from previous years and you haven't specifically requested the Jason tag, I haven't included your name on these lists because I assume you're good with what you've got. So if you want the Jason tag speak up.

I'm supposed to be on here I think, I'm pretty sure I did the challenge right and would like the normal gangtag if that's alright

Forty-four movies, passing my thirty-one target, while completing all the challenges. Thanks to Basebf555 for running things. I really enjoyed chasing down the thirty-six challenges last year, but it was also good to follow it up with a year where I had more room to run down my list of been-meaning-to-get-to movies. And thanks to everyone for all the great movies that I watched because of their reviews. This thread was the only place I heard about my favorite movie of the month. You all make October a very fun time of year.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

We also have three additional codes that are possibly expired, so if one of the winners wants to test them out we'll give them a shot.

I Know What You Did Last Summer
Angel Heart
Scream


All Codes are 4k except for the Friday the 13th code, but don't worry if you don't do 4k, you don't have to actually watch them in 4k.

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. And of course if your name doesn't appear on the list and you think it should, also let me know. I'll be surprised if I didn't miss at least one or two people.

I mean you watched like 70 movies or something so I think you deserve it. Your call though.

Honestly the more people seem to not care about the codes the better it is for me because if I end up doing this again next year there may not be any prizes at all. It's good that people seem to be happy to just participate for the sake of the spooky season fun.

That others were also using the image links from my reviews for poster images made me smile. That others found using the image I found after looking around really made it feel worth it to find some unique image.
