For the past few years I've made up my own list of horror films to watch each October (typically in chronological order) This year I've decided to "hoop" on the bandwagon of Hooptober 5.0 (I don't regret that pun)

I've tried my best to add movies I haven't seen since I joined Letterboxd and therefore have not logged yet. The only two exceptions are The Exorcist and Return of the Living Dead which are my favorite movies and I watch every October.

I will likely add more to this list throughout the month and look forward to reviewing them all.

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
1 silent film as a tribute to A Quiet Place
1 aquatic menace film as a tribute to Meg
2 women directed films
1 inanimate object comes alive film
1 film with Barbara Crampton in it.

And 2 Tobe Hooper Films (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)

***FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO DO EXTRA WORK: WATCH TALES FROM THE HOOD AND TALES FROM THE HOOD 2, WHICH DROPS OCT 2. YOU WILL RECEIVE A SHOUT OUT IN NEXT YEARS HOOP-TOBER. JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOUVE FINISHED ALL 33***

-review them all.(eek)

Clearly one film can satisfy multiple criteria. Viewing and reviewing will begin at 12:01am cst on Sept 15th.
