It's that time of the year again! I've been looking forward to creating this list for so long and we're finally here. The original list is here: letterboxd.com/cinemonster/list/hooptober-se7en-we-have-such-masked-socially/
As always, big thank you to Cinemonster for organising the whole thing! This is my third time taking part and hopefully the second time succeeding.
Looking at my selection now, it feels like I have loads of nasty stuff on there; some Eurohorror sleaze, more body horror than necessary, an Eli Roth film. The categories encourage that, but it's probably also the pandemic situation, the general level of stress and my recent subscription to the Criterion Channel that awaken instincts to watch that sort of stuff in me. I honestly can't wait.…

No rewatches this year! (Apart from maybe Funny Games, which I've seen in fragments over the years, but never in full). I basically got all the categories down by number 20 so the rest is just a collection of things that I have available/always wanted to see. I also have some stuff that didn't make the list that I will probably watch before and might add onto here later on.
Let's fucking do this!
