CRYPT V1.0 goes live on Halloween, and a few of you asked about watch parties. No official event, just a planning thread. Tell us what you are showing, how many people, and whether the Home will be up on a second screen. Programming a double feature is harder than it looks.
Halloween watch party planning: launch night double features
ExchangeKeeperStaffModOriginal post#1 PumpkinSpiceGhostFan#3 Cozy horror household. Planning something gentle with blankets and far too many candles. Suggestions that will not scare my roommate out of the lease?
FinalGirlFundFan#4 will not scare my roommate out of the lease
Horror comedy is your friend. Start with something funny, and let the second film get a little spookier once everyone is warm and fed.
CandleInTheAtticFan#5 Gothic double feature: an old black and white haunted house classic, then something with a big crumbling mansion. Dress code: velvet.
IndexOfTheDeadInvestor#6 I will absolutely have the HXI on a second monitor. Watching the Fear gauge on Halloween night is my version of the ball drop.
VolatilityVampireInvestor#7 Same. Calling the spike for midnight Eastern. Not advice, just a party game.
TheLastUsherFan#8 Pro tip from my theater years: intermission matters. Fifteen minutes, bathroom, snacks, back in. People who skip it wander off during the second film.
LakeCampCounselorFan#9 Campfire screening at a friend's cabin. Summer camp slashers in October is a crime I am happy to commit.
ExchangeKeeperStaffMod#10 Love all of these. Staff will post a lineup of our own closer to the date. And remember the footer: signals do not constitute financial advice, or peace of mind.
GraveShiftGusFan#11 Working the night shift on Halloween, so my watch party is a phone propped against the break room microwave. Still counts.
SlowBurnSallyFan#12 That is the most horror movie sentence in this entire thread.
