My third ever Hooptober! Gonna TRY to get this started earlier because, well... life finds a way. Here's the OG description link.
This year, my aim is to watch as many new movies as possible, including some staples I have not seen (looking at you Carrie and The Birds). I only have one movie in here that I have seen before, and that's Midsommar: director's cut edition special blu-ray. I should probably watch it again.
I'll also try to rank them as I go along!
Here are my previous Hooptobers: Hooptober 10 and Hooptober 11
Progress: 9/31
Criteria fulfilled:
There must be 31 horror films
✔️ 6 countries (other than Italy or US): Norway, Estonia, Turkey, Taiwan, Japan, Chile
