There's no sequel like a horror sequel. It's all about mopping up the survivors from the first round with bigger monsters, deeper hells, and (hopefully) bigger budgets.
After a successful first year, I'm tackling my second Hooptober. All but three will be first-time watches; I vaguely remember seeing Dracula (1958), Cronenberg's The Fly, and Phenomena. But rules is rules.
QUICK EASY RULES:

10 'Anniversary Films' (Release years end in an 8, excluding 2018)
6 countries
6 decades
6 films from before 1970
6 films from the following: Romero, Cronenberg, Clive Barker, Terrence Fischer, Sergio Martino, Bill Lustig (mix-and-match, or all one)
2 flying things that kill you films
