This will be my fifth Hooptober, which is mad. I look forward to this every year and it always seems to come around at just the right time. My list isn't quite as trashy as in previous years. The main objective is to watch 31 horror films in October. Because of the tight restraints, actual viewing can begin from September 15th. You have to review all the films that you watch. Tag is Hooptober9. Rules are copied from Cinemonster's main list below...
QUICK EASY RULES:
There must be 31 films
6 countries
8 decades
2 insect centered films
1 horror film set in space or the future (relative to when it was released)
2 animated films
1 bloodthirsty old person/people…

8 decades
2 insect centered films
1 horror film set in space or the future (relative to when it was released)
2 animated films
1 bloodthirsty old person/people film
2 1970s regional US films (Thanks Sean Young)
The worst horror sequel from the 1990s that you haven't seen and can access. (I realize that this will take a little work)
1 German Silent
5 Films from David Cronenberg, Ti West, Bill Rebane, Charles B. Pierce, William Grefe and/or Joy N. Houck Jr.
2 Christopher Lee films
1 film with a musician or band in it
1 Stephen King adaptation that is not the first go around.
1 Lon Chaney film.
And 1 Tobe Hooper Film (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)
***FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO DO EXTRA WORK: WATCH The Last Circus and Silent Madness. Like last year, there is a third film: Pennywise: The Story of It.
Clearly one film can satisfy multiple criteria.
