Ahh, a long summer of watching almost nothing but giallo and adjacent horror is coming to an end. Time to watch anything but more horror movies.
*sees Hooptober is happening again*
Goddamnit.

But no, after being tricked by a friend into doing this last year, I had fun with it; so why not trick myself into doing it again? I'm pretty happy with my list this year, too: All first time watches, from 17 different countries, with the majority of the movies coming from outside the Anglosphere. There's a lot of stuff I'm really looking forward to; and on the surface, nothing looks like it could be as contemptible and cynical as Doctor Sleep!* Everything's coming up Cerise!
Original list is here. (Thanks for doing this every year, Cinemonster!) The rules of the challenge are as follows:
6 countries
8 decades
2 folk horror
4 films from 1981
2 films from your birth year
2 haunted house films
The worst Part 2 that you haven't seen and can access
1 film set in the woods
1 Kaiju or Kong film (not the new K v. G)
2 Hammer films
3 films with a person of color as director or lead. (excluding Asian)
3 Asian horror films.
And 1 Tobe Hooper Films (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)
Whoo!
*I have a shot-for-shot ripoff of The Exorcist here, and even without having seen it, I'm prepared to say it's more creatively and artistically valid than Doctor Sleep. Because fuck that movie.
