HoopTober 8.0: "Initiation's over, Michael. Time to join the club!"

This is my second year participating in Cinemonster's HoopTober challenge. Same as last time, I'll be watching a different horror a day throughout October based on a specific set of rules, which follow just below:

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 one Tobe Hooper film (There must ALWAYS be a Tobe Hooper film)

All of these will be first-watches, going in as blind as possible. Been looking forward to this all year. Of course, I shall be reviewing every single one of them, so look out for those starting 1st October. Let the scares commence.
