Hey everyone! I'm super excited to be hosting the October Scavenger Hunt!
Since it's October, I decided to do 🎃 Spooky Saturdays 🎃 with a weekly horror theme. However, if you're not a fan of the genre or are just tired of horror in October feel free to replace it with a documentary with the same prompt. (ie. horror with a female director -> documentary with a female director)
Top 5:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Rewatches:
- Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
- Clueless
-Halloweentown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RULES (taken from mette's Scavenger Hunt #48):
1. make a list and choose 31 films that fit the criteria of the tasks (if you are unable to follow a specific prompt for any reason, use the sub prompt at the bottom of the list)
2. most of the films you choose should be previously unseen, but it's allowed with rewatches as long as it's not too many
3. all the films (unless specified) must be feature-length (60+ minutes)
4. you can't use one film for more than one task
5. tag the list with "scavenger hunt" and "scavenger hunt 67"
6. leave a link to this list in your own list so others can participate as well
7. comment below with a link to your list
8. in October, start watching! for each film you watch, write a review. on the top of each review, make it clear that you watched this film as part of this challenge. you also have to tag the reviews with "scavenger hunt" and "scavenger hunt 67". that way others can see your reviews and it would be much appreciated if you could take the time to look at others lists and reviews and maybe give them a like or comment.
