This will be my first year participating in Hooptober. When I found this challenge on letterboxd a few months ago I felt like I had found my people. Making lists AND horror movies! Two of my favorites!
Anyway I'm really excited to join in this year and thanks to Cinemonster for doing this. Here is his master list.

I will be pairing this with the sequel coming out, which is why both are on my list! For my 6 different countries I tried to pick countries I had never seen any movies from or only seen…

For my 6 different countries I tried to pick countries I had never seen any movies from or only seen 1 which includes Indonesia, Senegal, North Korea, Cuba, Peru, and Italy (Italy just for fun).
You can find the attached criteria for each movie in the descriptions/notes. After the challenge is complete I will rank the films based on my ratings/enjoyment.
Happy watching!
