Rules

I've been looking forward to participating in my second Hooptober since last year's ended. Horror is one of my least-watched genres so I find it fun to find movies that satisfy the categories and see some classics that I've missed.

This year I'm trying to avoid rewatches (except for a few movies I try to watch every October) and find some new favourites. It will be a bit of a challenge to find movies that satisfy the 1981/birth year requirements, but I'm having fun having to find movies from unusual sources.

---------------
Categories:

6 countries (USA, Japan, Canada, Iceland, South Korea)
8 decades (50s, 70s, 60s, 90s, 2010s, 80s)
2 folk horror (Kuroneko)
4 films from 1981 (Scanners)
2 films from your birth year
2 haunted house films
The worst Part 2 that you haven't seen and can access. (Aliens vs Predator: Requiem)
1 film set in the woods (Kuroneko)
1 Kaiju or Kong film (Frankenstein Conquers the World)
2 Hammer films
3 films with a person of color as director or lead. (excluding Asian): (Overlord)
3 Asian horror films. (Kuroneko, Rampant, Frankenstein Conquers the World)
And 1 Tobe Hooper Film
---------------

I'll add the appropriate movies to the categories as I watch them.

On deck/possibilities:

Night of the Comet (birth year)
Rosemary’s Baby (I'm excited about seeing Cassavetes in a horror movie)
Under the Blossoming Cherry Trees
Onibaba (because I liked Kuroneko)
I Walked With a Zombie (rewatch)
The Seventh Victim (rewatch)
The Abominable Dr. Phibes (obligatory October Vincent Price movie)
Psycho (despite having seen most of Hitchcock's movies, I somehow haven't seen this)
Crimson Peak (haunted house)
Mandy (I'm looking forward to more Nicolas Cage horror)
Night of the Living Dead (person of color as lead)
Salem’s Lot (Tobe Hooper)
Evil of Dracula (finishing off a trilogy I started watching in 2019)
I Was a Teenage Serial Killer (doesn’t officially count because it’s not a feature, but I’ve been meaning to watch this due to its Corin Tucker/Sarah Jacobson connection)
