A worthy project. Good luck one and all who participate.


I'm currently spending every spare minute updating and rebranding Welcome to Weirdsville Radio into a 24/7 365 Halloween station.

Really great idea & I'm really looking forward to see it works out well. This sort of activity is needed for HDC once or twice a year, IMO.

But sadly, I can't join this time not only for the time difference issue but actually it's getting kinda hard (though I'm trying good lately ;D) for me to spend some time in watching movies...as my little princess is getting more & more demanding and that's just fascinating. For near about more than a month my wife & the daughter was in my In-law's residence and now they have come back home...at first I thought it'd take time for her to recognize me as I used to go there & saw her only once & twice a week back then and thinking it might take some time for her to remember & recognize me as her father and she is just now 4 & half month old. But the strange part is I guess nature has its own way to develop & maintain the beautiful bonding between a father & daughter. Cause every time I go close to her she gets excited & starts laughing & loves to cuddling with me more than anybody around her! It's just magical!

Oh, sorry for the off topic discussion.

Best of luck, Chrono!

Never apologize for talking about your little princess! You sound so happy and blessed.

Great to know. Any chance of you conducting live Halloween shows like NEW Radio before?

If you can, we can re-introduce the HDC Horry Awards.

The bond between father & daughter is a very special one. Distance can never put a spanner into that.

Enjoy, for these days won't return again!

I like your idea Chrono, but I guess I would maybe make a suggestion because what you are trying to do will be fairly difficult to pull off.

I belong to a Classical Music group and run what has been a pretty successful event each week which is basically the Weekend Symphony. It's kind of like a book club I guess.

Every Friday I post a Classical Symphony (from a very large list) and each person basically chooses a recording of that particular symphony and listens to it over the weekend (although technically they have till the next Friday's posting) to listen.

So basically everyone posts which recording they will be listening to and once they listen to it, they post their thoughts and comments. I've kept it going for almost a year and a half and each week we have probably 20-40 different people participate.

You might consider a Weekly Monster kind of like what you described. Like Week #1 everyone picks a Frankenstein related movie or as many movies as they can fit into their schedule. Perhaps express watching a favorite, and/or one they've never seen, etc. and over that week people can post which movies they watched and their thoughts and comments on them.

You also might consider something similar to what I do, and post a weekly movie not just leading up to Halloween but each week and as each person watches they can post their thoughts and comments. Maybe go through our big "HDC 1896-2012 100+ Years Of Cinema" list or something.

Anyway, just some suggestions.

I'm excited about Welcome to Weirdsville! How is it going so far? Good luck yourself! Please stop by an comment when you have a chance - I thought you'd be proud of me for finally catching up with some of the classics.

No apologies needed! I'm so happy for you, your gorgeous wife, and your little one! Don't forget to post lots of pics for us to coo over.

I know that timing won't work out for you but hopefully you can join in some of the topics on the forum. :)

I love this, RDB - In fact, when choosing movies, I had a hard time choosing between something that I know I'll love, or something I've never seen vs. say something that I think more people would like.

So maybe a good idea would be -
  • Keep on the weekly topic.
  • Still maintain showtimes (because God knows if I don't schedule it I'll putz around and probably not watch)
  • Ask people to watch either what I'm watching OR something else on topic.

Awesome!!

I'll keep an eye on how this idea develops :) I love it so far, but I'm in a completely different time zone... and if it's not in my collection and not on Netflix, this is not a time where I can afford to buy a lot of movies.
