Announcing the list for my 2nd Hooptober! 💀

See Cinemonster’s original post here
And my list from last Hooptober here 

Start: September 15, 2023 (but I’m starting late on September 26, 2023) 
End: October 31, 2023 

Watch and review all movies with tag HoopToberX 

NOTE: My list follows a few extra rules. I limited myself to 10 movies per country and 5 movies per decade. International co-productions are counted once per country (for example, Killer Tongue is counted twice - once for the UK and once for Spain). Like last year, I also included all the movies that will have haunted houses at Halloween Horror Nights (L.A.) that I haven't seen yet, in preparation for my annual trip. I will watch the 3 assigned extra credit movies, but I have not counted them in my stats. Lastly, this year I've decided to include something I'm calling The Horror Shorts of Georges Melies - this is a selection of Melies short films that collectively count as one movie. This film bundle has been counted once per decade it spans, and once for one country (France). It is represented here by The Haunted Castle (1896) but will include more films than just that. 

Now, here's how my list fulfills the requirements:

These movies span 20 countries: US (10), South Africa (1), Italy (3), UK (6), Argentina (1), France (3), Japan (1), Czechoslovakia (1), Poland (1), Belgium (1), Germany (1), Sweden (1), Brazil (1), Finland (1), India (1), Denmark (1), Spain (1), Canada (1), Russia (1), Ukraine (1)

These movies span 14 decades: 1890s (1), 1900s (1), 1910s (1), 1920s (3), 30s (1), 40s (1), 50s (2), 60s (5), 70s (5), 80s (3), 90s (5), 2000s (2), 2010s (1), 2020s (1)

1 film with an 'x' in the title: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986), The Exorcist: Believer (2023)

And 1 Tobe Hooper Film (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film): The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)

Halloween Horror Nights movies: The Exorcist: Believer (2023), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1971)

Annnnd movies that don't explicitly contribute to those requirements^ are here because I have extra space and want to watch them, plus a lot of them up the countries/decades stats.

I haven't seen any of these movies before. :)
