Default October 2014 50 Movie Challenge - Halloween/Horror

For October, of course, the focus is Halloween/Horror. Given that limitation, we're going to make it a little less restrictive and let you pick ANY 10 sub-categories of your choice within the genre to use for the challenge. (5 movies each for a total of 50)

As we've done most months, though the goal is 50, we will have different levels for those who wish to aim lower (or higher):

60 Movies - Platinum
50 Movies = Gold
40 Movies = Silver
30 Movies = Bronze

Here's a a few category suggestions:

Slasher Flicks
Haunted House/Ghost Stories
Family-Friendly Horror/Halloween
3-D Horror Movies
Horror Comedies
Zombie Movies
Werewolf Movies
Vampire Movies
Universal Monsters (classic)
Hammer Horror
Foreign Horror Movies
Creature Features (Godzilla, King Kong, etc)
5 Movies From a Series (Elm Street, Friday/13th, Saw, Final Destination, etc)
First-Person Horror Movies (Quarantine, Blair Witch, Cloverfield, etc)
Horror Documentaries
Sci-Fi Horror
Exorcism/Religious Horror
Stephen King
Suspense/Thrillers
Horror Remakes
Halloween TV episodes (2 one-hour episodes or 4 half-hour episodes count as one movie)

If you need ideas for films to watch, check out the discussion thread of 31 Days of Halloween Movies (2014).

Not fond of horror films but I'll have another go this month. I've just started watching American Horror Story so I can fill up some of it with episodes of that You say 2 hour long episodes count as one movie, yet AHS episodes are about 40 minutes. Would 2 of those still count as one movie?

Yes 2 episodes of an hourlong show count. Yes, without commercials they are only like 42 minutes each, but most movies arent a full two hours either, so it works out.

Dont feel bad about not watching much horror. Much of mine will be kid stuff like Paranorman, Casper, Hotel Transylvania, etc., and I'll work in some that are more suspense than horror.

Walking through the store today, I eyeballed the Chucky collection, the Leprechaun collection, the Friday the 13th Collection, the Nightmare on Elm Street Collection...then it hit me, why the frakk haven't I seen any of these sequels yet? There's probably enough in these to fill up a month or so.
