I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ALL YEAR LONG AND IT HATH FINALLY ARRIVED!
I am sooooo happy with Cinemonster's guidelines this year! I've been craving for animated rules for a while and this year we got em'! I was planning on watching HALLOWEEN IS GRINCH NIGHT for Hooptober this year so it worked out perfectly.
Now, this year will be interesting because I will be gone for two weeks in Europe. I asked my friends to do the trip in November but I was tragically outvoted. I saw Cinemonster granted another Letterboxder special permission to start on September 1st and I might ask for that soon. Hehe
If ya haven't Hooptobered before please hop onboard the terror train!…

If ya haven't Hooptobered before please hop onboard the terror train! I've discovered many gems because of this challenge (here's to lookin' at you, THE POOL (2018)!) and some real stinkers (get away, SLICE (2018)!).
Now let's get to that voodoo that we do so well! Here are the rules from Cinemonster. You can see which movie fits which guideline by clicking on the notes.
"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 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.
****This years surprise: The IT doc is on Screambox. Screambox peeps gave us Hooptober folks a code for a free trial. Everyone can watch the doc, if they want to.
The code is HOOPTOBER and you can sign up HERE
There is a lot of cool stuff on Screambox (including Terrifier 2), so enjoy."
