HoopTober X: Horror is the New Normal

See Cinemonster's list here.

I have a five-year-old now. The pandemic still rages on, and everyone around me acts as if we are back to normal. My entire profession is under attack for "grooming" children by providing them access to books that affirm their lives. This is the new normal. Horror is the new normal. Let's embrace it.

I'm going for my third consecutive year of ACTUALLY completing HoopTober ::fingers crossed::. As usual, I'm starting right now because I have a kid and it's hard to watch 31 horror movies in even a month and a half, and also because I wanna watch horror movies now! NO MORE WAITING!

This list fills all the criteria, and I’ll fill in the remaining nine as freebies as I go.
