Hooptober 4.0: In Hooptober, Everything is Fine

In previous years, we've made an effort to not repeat films that I had already seen. But this year, to catch Giselle up on some classics, I'm going with a near 50/50 split of first-timers and already-seeners (actually 42/58, but who's counting).

I botched the original draft of the list (I mistakingly believed that Romero was one of the directors listed in the "6 Directors" category) but have now corrected it!

The notes indicate both what criteria a given movie fulfills, and a little note to remind myself of where I'm sourcing the movie from.

Some fun stats...
Shortest movie: Blood Feast at 67 minutes
Longest movie: Stephen King's It at 192 minutes
Best reviewed movie: The Silence of the Lambs at 4.3
Worst reviewed movie: Dylan Dog: Dead of Night at 2.2
Oldest movie: Dracula
Newest movie: Cult of Chucky
Number of remakes: 2 (We Are What We Are and It)
Number of movies that have been remade: 11
