Hooptober 8!

My state is going all to hell again from the pandemic, so I'm hoping to actually FINISH this year. I was a lot more particular about what I chose to meet my criteria, and tried to choose things I've had sitting on my watch lists so it's more likely I'll be in the mood to watch them (my mood dictates way too many aspects of my life). I've been on a kick this year for much older horror (pre-1980's with an emphasis on pre-1960's), and was able to incorporate that quite well, and it seems I've also been catching up on older UK and Asian Horror. Criteria met by each film is listed in the notes.

Huge likelihood I may end up adding on to this some, as I'm sitting at 29 movies with I believe 47 days to complete my list, if I start September 15th. If that ends up being the case, I'll add the films on and state which criteria they meet. If I watch things on my own outside of Hooptober, and they don't fit a criteria here, I won't list them in.

I'm also going to do my best to actually review this go round, as I've been more in the habit of doing so overall, at the very least a sentence or two.

I choose only movies I've not seen before for my Hooptober list and other challenges, unless it's dictated in particular to be something I've already seen, or I have no other choice.

Criteria:
8 Decades
6 Countries
2 Folk Horror Films
4 Films from 1981
2 From Your Birth Year (1987)
2 Haunted House Films
The Worst Pt. 2 Film You Haven't Seen
1 Film Set In The Woods
1 Kaiju or Kong Film
2 Hammer Films
3 Films With POC Directors/Actors (excluding Asian because...)
3 Asian Horror Films
Extra Credit:
JD's Revenge
The Skull
The Scooby Doo Project
