Year 3 of this shindig. In year one, I managed to get through 2 titles. In Year 2, I doubled that to 4. Can the trend continue in Year 3? I hope so.
The original list is brought by CineMonster here: letterboxd.com/cinemonster/list/hooptober-neun-from-outer-space/
The goal is 31 films starting on September 15 and running through Halloween night. We'll see how well I do with that.
And here are the categories:
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)
2 animated films
1 bloodthirsty old person/people film
2 1970s regional US films (Thanks Sean Young)
The worst horror sequel from the 1990s…

The worst horror sequel from the 1990s that you haven't seen and can access. (I realize that this will take a little work)
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 Sr. Film
And 1 Tobe Hooper Film (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)
***FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO DO EXTRA WORK: WATCH The Last Circus and Silent Madness. Like last year, there is a third film: Pennywise: The Story of It.
Will update when I complete the list!
