Okay, I hope this isn't too ridiculous.
Any Thanksgiving themed movie watched is worth one point.
Any horror movie with a monster/villain/killer/mutated animal/mutated vegetable or anything with characters from the first Thanksgiving like Pilgrims or Wampanoags that is horror related, is worth two points. Movies about Salem's witch hunts count, those were Puritans, whom I just read dominated the Plymouth Colony.
Here is a list of edibles that count, from the Wikipedia article on Thanksgiving.
The feast consisted of fish (cod, eels, and bass) and shellfish (clams, lobster, and mussels), wild fowl (ducks, geese, swans, and turkey), venison, berries and fruit, vegetables (peas, pumpkin, beetroot and possibly, wild or cultivated onion), harvest grains (barley and wheat), and the Three Sisters: beans, dried Indian maize or corn, and squash.
And I'm sure they ate at least one chicken, so Attack of the Killer Tomatoes doesn't count but Poultrygiest does.
Whoever wins sets the theme and rules for December.
So only rules are movies you watch starting at any point today and ending November 30th at 3 A.M. California time, honor system at work, all movies have to be at least one hour long, and Saint Arnold Lawn Mower Ale is good stuff. Cheers!

Here comes the pain.
Okay, Poultrygeist from Troma.
Take Blood Diner, Return of the Living Dead, Tromeo and Juliet, Meet the Feebles, bad musicals, and Poltergeist, add a pinch of Ron Jeremy, plenty of equal opportunity offensive humor covering white drunk racist Hillbillies, gay Mexicans, fire-water drinkin' Native Americans, a fried chicken restaurant's black manager, war veterans, lesbians, Jews, vegetarians, carnivores, and priests, and add more bodily fluids than Evil Dead 2's bastard child after an absinthe soaked night with Dead Alive, and you approximate this enjoyable abortion of cinema.
I earned my first two points.
So you can suffer/enjoy, here is the trailer. Aparently NSFW, but it's from Youtube, so only a flash of boobie. If you want to see many topless lesbians perform a song-and-dance number, watch this "film" and earn your own two points!
LOB-2, and I refuse to win this one. Bring it heathens!

You can always count on Troma to come through in a pinch.

I watched Thankskilling a low budget movie about a killer turkey who spouts one liners throughout while killing. This is perhaps the only movie I've seen to actually pull off so bad it's good on purpose.

I'm going to have to find this crap-sandwich, also known as an 'X-pac', that you three have mentioned. Sounds awful. Good.
Blood Freak has been impossible for me to find. My "neighborhood" dvd trade/sell/barter place went under. Couldn't find it at Best Buy, and the only copy of it on e-bay yesterday was going for forty-some dollars. Gonna have to rent it at my local video shop, Vulcan Video.
So question for you guys. If I watch Howard the Duck, would that count, or would that be pushing the animal theme of this competition? First person to respond, makes the decision for all of us. Does Howard count (there is that whole evil alien posession thing afterall)?

C'mon MMM, say it ain't so.
Just watch a couple. I'm only going to watch Blood Freak, something from the fifties about a giant turkey or buzzard,
Thankskilling, and that horror South Park movie where I think the flock of killer turkeys make a second appearance.
At the best, at the end of the month, LOB-10. At the best. So don't throw in that Bob Buckland towel yet!
