Back again for year 3. I like to make a core list and leave a few open slots for surprises and impulse watches, so this list starts with 20-something movies but will be up to 31 by Halloween.
QUICK EASY RULES:
There must be 31 films
6 countries (US, UK, MX, SA, KO, JP, TW, NO)
8 decades
2 post apocalyptic or natural disaster related films (The Domestics, Death Collector)
1 film with Robert Englund (Eaten Alive)
1 something is underground film (Quatermass and the Pit)
3 Satan/Devil centered films (Enter the Devil, The Devils, Pyewacket)
1 Amicus film (From Beyond the Grave)
The worst Dracula film (by Letterboxd rating) that you haven't seen and can access. (Dracula 3000 natch)…
