Spooktacular Cinema: Hooptober 3.0

I'm so psyched for my first Hooptober this year. Rules are pretty straightforward, and I think I have some unique picks, although the films could change at any time. Rewatches are allowed, but the only films I've previously seen are Halloween (1979), The Shining, Trick 'r Treat, The Sixth Sense, and The Funhouse.  Click here for the original list created by Cinemonster, and here for the October Horror Show's Subgenre Challenge, in which I participated in last year. And without further to do, The basic rules.


7 films from franchises (mix-and-match, or the same. 7 total)
6 countries
5 decades
5 films from before 1970
5 films from the following: Bava, Argento, Lenzi, Fulci, Henenlotter, Romero, Stuart Gordon (mix-and-match, or all one)
