Another year, another Hooptober challenge. To be honest, I can't think of many better ways to spend my October than watching horror movies, and if those movies follow Cinemonster's criteria, even better.
Once again, I will only pick films I haven't seen, so some of them may not entirely fit the criteria under which they are listed. This year, I had a problem with one of the criteria because I already watched all horror films starring Lon Chaney, and the ones left are considered lost, so I picked the 2002 reconstruction of London After Midnight.
Usual disclaimer: I won't probably be able to do one film every day in October so I will start a bit earlier or watch more…
