Will I Make It?
« on: June 28, 2009, 01:08:58 AM »
I will be attempting to go without horror starting on July 1st... until October 1st when I will be starting my Month Long Horror/Halloween Marathon. If I can make it that would be 92 days horror free! 3 full months without watching horror movies or horror TV Shows.

Before last year's marathon I went 66 Days without any horror. This is almost a full month longer then I went last year. But last year I also watched...

- 100 Horror Movies
- 45 Horror/Halloween TV Episodes
- 2 Horror/Halloween Shorts

... during my marathon. If I am to beat those numbers this year I will really need to be in the mood to watch some horror when Oct. 1st gets here! Not many people here believed in me last year... so what do you all have to say this year?

I'm sure you can ;D
I will stop my horror watching after the Mario Bava marathon, since some of the film can be considerate as horror movies. So you won't be alone, sure it's easier for me to not watch horror for two months....

By the way I hope that you will watch more episode of the 5 disc documentary that I've recommanded to you last year.

Wow!... the voting and post sure are different then they were last year!  :laugh:

And yes Jimmy.... I do plan on watching much more of that documentary set this year. I only got to a couple last year... but I am planning to do much better this year.

As much teasing you will face for the next 92 days, I guess the others may feel like me, that a positive poll result will give you additional motivation...


:hmmmm: I feel like I should do a horror marathon sometime in August...

Perhaps we could do a "random horror movies for all those who have not sworn off horror for 3 months" marathon  :tease:

Most seem to have faith you can do it, Pete...only 1 out of 10 said you couldn't make it.

And I admit it!  I was that one person!  Bwahahaha!!!  :hysterical:
