Last year I wasn't able to make it through my list, so I'm going hard for year 3. My focus this year is getting around to some of those horror mainstays that have been haunting my watchlist for far too long. Of course, my Hooptober wouldn't be complete without Kiyoshi Kurosawa, a bit of Cronenberg, a healthy dose of giallo, a splash of camp, and at least one hella weird/transgressive film (the weirder the better).
May end up changing a few of these as I go along:
There must be 31 horror films
6 countries (other than Italy or US)
Creepy (Japan)
Vampyr (Germany)
Funny Games (Austria)
Serpent's Path (France)
Antichrist (Denmark)
I Saw the Devil (South Korea)
9 decades
1920s…
