I wasn't originally going to do a horror-themed blogathon but this seemed like a good idea when I came up with it half-way through October. I did get two great posts, though, so it's not a total loss. Maybe next year I can start it up again at the beginning of October giving people more time.<br /><br />As a matter of fact I do have one more blogathon, possibly two. You might have noticed the teaser at the top of the page and the "sneak peaks" I've posted on Twitter for the space-themed blogathon adventure I have planned specially for November 1 (it's meant to coincide with the release of Interstellar), which I scheduled specifically with the intention of making sure players had time to contribute. <br /><br />I'm also looking at starting a blogathon in December centered around the representation of homosexuals in film, structured in a similar manner to my hugely successful Women in Film Blogathon.

This is a fine idea but I have so many commitment posts this week I don't see how I can contribute (I will for the next blogathon you do though :) Having fun reading everyone's picks, these teams would make for awesome movies! cheersKristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659951781597698530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797386216465468233.post-81949265273465365782014-10-27T08:01:27.171-07:002014-10-27T08:01:27.171-07:00For anyone who is interested, here are my final pi...For anyone who is interested, here are my final picks:<br /><br />http://romansreviews.blogspot.com/2014/10/cosmic-horror-cast-thon.htmlRoman J.

We're talking horrors so alien looking at them will snap your brain like a twig.<br /><br />I don't know about Anthony Hopkins himself, but he probably has a few horror characters that could work.
