My entry for "Hooptober Neun".

This is my second time participating in a "Hooptober". Just like Cinemonster is doing, I will watch 31 horror films (as well as the 3 extra films, barring no time). For this year, I might have been a little liberal with the term 'Horror' and some of the films I chose.

The criteria for this year's Hooptober is as follows:

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 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 (A real life musician or band)
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.

Films chosen are in alphabetical order.

***I am giving myself the freedom to change films on this list if I stumble upon something I am more interested in. Of course, I will make sure that I stick to the criteria for this challenge if I do so.***
