The challenge I most look forward to every year! Back for my fourth time. Thanks to Cinemonster for creating this challenge, crafting the prompts, and building this community.

Here are this year's rules:

There must be 31 horror films
6 countries (other than Italy or US) (Germany, Mexico, Canada, UK, Russia, Spain, Czechia)
9 decades (1920s-1, 1930s-3, 1940s-2, 1950s-1, 1970s-4, 1980s-4, 2000s-3, 2010s-6, 2020s-7)

5 zombie films (Maggie, I Am Omega, Festival of the Living Dead, Exit Humanity, Zombiethon, Corona Zombies)
3 cult or conspiracy horror films (The Wicker Tree, Black Moon, Succubus, The Ritual, Children of the Corn, The Devil's Rain)
1 film from a Black director with a Black lead (Nanny)
1 film from a Mexican or Central American director (The Vampire)
1 Canadian film (Exit Humanity)
1 former Soviet state film (Succubus)
The most popular film from the 1940s that you haven't seen and can access (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde)
2 postapocalyptic horror films (Maggie, I Am Omega)
1 film with dreams or a dream as part of the plot (Nightwish)
1 "the animals are pissed at us" film (Grizzly II)
1 silent film (The Haunted Castle)
4 based on novels (The Ritual, Hannibal Rising, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Wicker Tree)
any film from THIS list that you haven't seen (The Devil's Rain)
1 Ernesto Gastaldi-written film (The Suspicious Death of a Minor)
1 film from 1932 (Behind the Mask)
I have never made a specific film a part of this before, but WIZARD of OZ ('39)
And 1 Tobe Hooper Film (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film) (The Funhouse)

You can't start until September 15. To fully complete Hooptober, you must also write reviews for every film too.
