Grrrrrrrrrrreetings....

Here we are! My tenth horror marathon, my eighth consecutive Hooptober, and possibly (hopefully) my fourth year successfully completing one.

Onto the rules!

There must be 31 films
6 countries
8 decades
2 post apocalyptic or natural disaster related films
1 film with Robert Englund
1 something is underground film
3 Satan/Devil centered films
1 Amicus film.
The worst Dracula film (by Letterboxd rating) that you haven't seen and can access.
1 LGBTQ+ connected film
5 Films from De Palma, Wes Craven, Ken Russell, Hitchcock and/or Morehead & Benson.
2 Peter Cushing films
1 film based on a work of or invoking the name Bram Stoker
1 film based on a Clive Barker story
1 film that was released the year that you turned 10
1 Mario Bava film.
1 film with an 'x' in the title

And 1 Tobe Hooper Film (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)

All ✅ed!

Like last year, I tried to cram in as much giallo as I could (it's a subgenre that's quickly becoming my favorite). I've also added quite a bit of Mario Bava and some Japanese critical darlings. It was quite difficult to limit myself to 31, that's why I included 50. I really won't be able to see all of these; this list will also partially function as a watchlist, and the movies I'll end up watching for Hooptober will be dependent on my time and mood, and which criteria I still have to fulfil. It's also very very likely that I'll further adjust this list.

Original list and challenge by Cinemonster can be found h e r e.

As always: Happy Hoopin'!
