Who do you voodoo? The monstrance clock has struck and it's again time to drink from the cup of heresy. Or, well, at least watch as many horror-adjacent films as possible in 1,5 months time.

It's time for the ninth consecutive year of Cinemonster's iconic challenge and needless to say, I've been excited about this. As of right now, I'm in a sea of boxes as I'm about to move into my house in a week's time, so having a comforting horror-marathon like this to look forward to during the dark fall season is much aprechiated.

Without further ado, here's my list for this year and Cinemonster's rules:

6 countries [Japan, U.S., UK, Spain, France, Sweden etc.]
8 decades [1920s & 40s-2020s]
2 insect centered films [The Deadly Mantis, Stung]
1 horror film set in space or the future (relative to when it was released) [The Cloverfield Paradox]
2 animated films [Frankenweenie, Mad God]
1 bloodthirsty old person/people film [The Taking of Deborah Logan]
2 1970s regional US films [The Evictors, Multiple Mainiacs, The Headless Eyes]
The worst horror sequel from the 1990s that you haven't seen and can access. [The Birds II: Land's End]
1 German Silent [The Golem]
5 Films from David Cronenberg, Ti West, Bill Rebane, Charles B. Pierce, William Grefe and/or Joy N. Houck Jr. [The Sacrament, Crimes of the Future, The Night of Bloody Horror, Sting of Death, The Evictors]
2 Christopher Lee films [Dracula: Prince of Darkness, Sleepy Hollow]
1 film with a musician or band in it [Sektor 236]
1 Stephen King adaptation that is not the first go around [Carrie]
The documentary Pennywise: The Story of IT isn't available in Sweden, so I decided to swap it out for another horror-documentary: Memory: The Origins of Alien
