COMPLETED!!! (film #32 on Oct 28th)
My first year attempting Hooptober! (during its 8th iteration).
Winging it to my selfsame spontaneous tune, only list-adding as the viewings come (mostly smooth sailing through random choices spurred with a little more disciplined piloting through the more treacherous rules), so my progression will be blindfold suspense and later in the month it should more legibly resemble the genuine doomladen article. And I'll try and incorporate some poor souls perpetually festering in my hopelessly labyrinthine watchlist.
Rules (completed are bolded):
6 countries - Australia, United States, Canada, Norway, Japan, New Zealand, Italy, Indonesia, Hong Kong
8 decades - 30s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, 20s
2 folk horror - Spectre, White Zombie…

By the way, Halloween itself in the Aussie spring isn't much of a thing, maybe twice a decade you'll get a knock on the door, but we're happy you have it, looks cool, nice to have a Horror Month set aside anyway, and after all what else does October have to offer?
