They Live 1988 film Hal
Animaniacs 1993 TV show Michael
Are You Afraid of the Dark? 1990 TV show Nick
Night of the Comet 1984 film Jim

Note: this was an unusual panel to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Awesomelys. Rather than play trailers/intros and talk about them, I talked about us and interspersed the history with a pick from each of our panelists over the years and other material. We didn't talk about them, just played them. I started the panel alone, because I was the only one there who had been part of the first panel; Jim was working a gaming convention in Texas, so couldn't attend. The Brass Bells, who founded the panel, had moved to Oregon and lost touch. Heather passed after our second year, so we included a tribute to her. As I progressed through the years, other panelists joined when I got to their year: Michael, Britt, Dee and Cyn. Nick and Alyssa both sent video messages for me to play. While everyone only got a single pick, I added Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter to illustrate one of the new formats we'd created.
