With Spooky Season fast approaching I am champing at the bit to get my annual horror movie challenge up and running. While I have been watching at least 31 horror movies over the month of October for several years now (last year's challenge - letterboxd.com/mplsmatt/list/slashing-through-cinema-2020/), I have only been appreciating HoopTober from the sidelines. Well I'm wading in hip deep this year - it just looks like too much fun. This list will probably be subject to change based on whim and availability of things but I will stick to the rules!

6 countries - USA, UK, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, Hong Kong, Argentina, and Canada
8 decades - 30s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2010s, 2020s
2 folk horror
4 films from 1981
2 films from your birth year - 1978
2 haunted house films
The worst Part 2 that you haven't seen and can access. - Ouija 2 and I am not relishing this watch!
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)

***FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO DO EXTRA WORK: WATCH JD'd Revenge, The Skull and The Scooby Doo Project
-review them all.

I'll be adding any additional movies I watch here as well - I'm hoping to attend some theatrical screenings if it's safe to do so.
