We're doing it again! I took 2020 and 2021 off because my brain was broken for a variety of reasons that it's best not to get into. But I'm finally doing better and no longer driving six hour round trips every weekend (and sometimes mid-week, too), so we're going to give it a proper try again. Though I flamed out of the 2019 challenge very early on, completing it in 2018 was a delight and I want to chase that high again!
If you're new, welcome; the original list for Hooptober 9 can be found here. The rules are below. If you want to participate, make your own list that satisfies the below rules and follow along!

Though I flamed out of the 2019 challenge very early on, completing it in 2018 was a delight and I want to chase that high again!
If you're new, welcome; the original list for Hooptober 9 can be found here. The rules are below. If you want to participate, make your own list that satisfies the below rules and follow along!
The Challenge:
* Make a list of 31 horror films that fulfill all of the below rules.
* The goal is to watch one film a day every day in October, but because life is what it is, film viewing will take place from September 15th through October 31st. Two weeks of grace!
* Every film must be reviewed.
* Films can fulfill multiple rules.
* Films must be tagged with the "horror" genre on Letterboxd (this is my personal imposition, it's not part of Cinemonster's official rulings, so use at your own discretion).
The Rules:
6 Countries
8 Decades
2 Insect-centered Films
1 Space or Future Set Horror Film
2 Animated Films
1 Bloodthirsty Old Person/People Film
2 1970s Regional US Horror Films (see this list)
The Worst Horror Sequel from the 1990s (that you haven't seen and can access!)
1 German Silent
5 Films from David Cronenberg, Ti West, Bill Rebane, Charles B. Pierce, William Grefe and/or Joy N. Houck Jr.
2 Christopher Lee films
1 Film with a Real Life Musician or Band
1 Stephen King Adaptation (of a work that had previously been adapted)
1 Lon Chaney Film. (NOT Lon Cheney Jr.!)
And 1 Tobe Hooper Film, for there must always be a Hooper film.
Tags for which rules each film satisfies are found in the notes of this list!
