Hooptober Origins 3: Triple Threats, Cold Sweats, and Rabid Pets

Doing another "spring training" run for a past Hooptober, this time focusing on the criteria for Hooptober 3.0 from 2016.

After this, I only have to complete Hooptober 4.0 (presumably next spring, 6 months after Hooptober XI) to have watched the full 11 years worth of Hooptober picks. That'll be almost 350 distinct horror movies, not counting the bonus picks!

In the interest of saving myself some time this year, I've also included several picks from other challenge lists that I'm doing this year, including the 2024 Criterion Challenge, Anti-Criterion Challenge, Cult Movie Challenge, and Podcast Macabre Challenge.

Official rules copied from the original list by Cinemonster: boxd.it/I4n8

QUICK EASY RULES:

7 films from franchises(mix-and-match, or the same. 7 total)…
