This year is my Hooptober sequel, Hooptober Part II: Freddy's Revenge, and like many great sequels of the horror genre, I've dropped the gimmick that powered the original for a generic rehash (I'll need to wait approximately 35 more years to accumulate 10 new Nic Cage horror movies to do that again, so see you all for Hooptober 44!).
35 movies I've never seen, plain and simple. Gonna watch 'em all in October, in the order presented below. Thanks again to Cinemonster and Happy Hooptober to all!
QUICK EASY RULES:
There must be 31 films
6 countries
8 decades
2 insect centered films
1 horror film set in space or the future (relative to when it was released)

6 countries
8 decades
2 insect centered films
1 horror film set in space or the future (relative to when it was released)
2 animated films
1 bloodthirsty old person/people film
2 1970s regional US films
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 musician or band in it (A real life musician or band)
1 Stephen King adaptation that is not the first go around.
1 Lon Chaney film. (NOT JR)
And 1 Tobe Hooper Film (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)
***BONUS: WATCH The Last Circus and Silent Madness. Like last year, there is a third film: Pennywise: The Story of It.
___________________________________________
In the notes below, I've listed which criterion each film qualifies under, with secondary qualifiers in (parentheses).
***Edit: I realized after I made the list that I apparently cannot read and had managed to select regional horror movies in nearly every decade but the 1970s. My original list is still valid since both The Town that Dreaded Sundown and Creature from Black Lake are 70s Regional Horrors, but I've added two more as penitential picks.
