My chance to host the hunt has come and I'm excited to share it with all of you. I put more about myself in the prompts than I was expecting to, but it felt right.

tag your lists and reviews with "daily horror hunt" and "september horror 2024" and Enjoy!

1. Alijca was our host last month. Watch something they rated 4.5 stars or higher Alicja's 5 star films.

2. I love movies where the villains are little guys who will murder you. The caretaker of the hunts, Robert Berlin has a good list to give you an idea of what I'm going for boxd.it/dmFz4

3. A big reason why I love little guys who murder movies is because of their heavy use of practical effects before cgi was almost everywhere. Watch something that prominently uses practical effects.

4. One of my favorite horror lists to work on is They Shoot Zombies, Don't They. I have less than 100 films left on the current edition to watch. Watch a movie that's on the main TSZDT list and if you have seen all thousand then choose something from one of the offshoot TSZDT lists which can be found on it's official website. TSZDT 2024 theyshootzombies.com

5. Watch a non-english zombie movie in a language you don't speak

6. Let's go on a trip. Watch a movie from the country you most want to visit and if you're not the traveling type then watch something that's set close to you.

7. Now we'll travel back to my area of the world and watch a movie set in or filmed in the San Fransisco Bay Area

8. Adventure into the unknown and watch something with under 1k views. The lower view count the better.

9. Would you like to play a game? Another one of my favorite horror sub-genres is when people are thrown into a game of death whether willingly or unwillingly. Game of Death

10. Now choose your weapon: axe, chainsaw, knife

11. Watch a movie that was released 25 years before you were born

12. Watch a movie that was released between 1924-1934

13. Choose a movie to watch that you think could be so bad its good based on it's title and/or poster

14. I started playing Dead by Daylight last month and I'm hooked. Spin this wheel featuring all the killers of the game. Each killer has a one word prompt for you to interpret however you want.
DBD

15. Watch a video game adaptation https://boxd.it/2DcK

16. I'm a dog person and my girlfriend is a cat person. Choose a movie based on which one you prefer: dogs, cats

17. My girlfriend and I are also fond of wolves and tonight is the full moon. Watch a werewolf movie

18. Face your fears and watch a movie featuring a phobia of yours. If you have no phobias then join me in facing mine and watch a movie with spiders (bonus points if they're giant). If you're not ready to face your fears it's ok, use this as a free space

19. Today is the first day of Fantastic Fest, I was able to attend once years ago and it was one of the coolest movie watching experiences I've had. Watch a movie that was shown at Fantastic Fest https://boxd.it/sTg6

20. Watch a movie that's considered New Weird Cinema

21. John Waters is a master of the weird and filthy. Watch one of his recommendations https://boxd.it/1s1OC

22. Today is officially the last day of summer which means it's the end of Brat Summer. Watch a movie from the brat summer list

23. I like horror that mixes music into its plot. Watch a movie about a band or a singer.

24. Today is World Bollywood Day and Bollywood also loves to feature music in their movies. Watch a Bollywood horror (it doesn't need to have music or dancing)

25. I'm trans and I've been glad to see some recent movies that were made by trans people about trans people gaining some popularity. Watch a movie from Jane Schoenbrun's (director of I Saw the TV Glow) 100 favorite horror movies boxd.it/pDICC

26. Watch a movie that has Transfem Vibes

27. Two of my favorite movies growing up were The Goonies and Monster Squad. Both featured children going into dangerous situations they shouldn't have been anywhere near. Watch a movie where a child is in danger.

28. Today is National Ghost Hunting Day. Watch a movie featuring ghost hunters.

29. Go back and watch a movie from a previous horror hunt that you didn't end up watching. If this is your first horror hunt watch one of my unwatched movies. boxd.it/xVCNW

30. Today is my birthday, which is one of the reasons I volunteered to host the September hunt. I also chose this month because today is the beginning of the ICM Forum's Oct horror challenge where I've been participating for over a decade. Our challenge runs from dusk of Sept 30th till dawn of Nov 1st, I usually end my birthday with at least one or two horror movies. So for my last day as host I want us all to revisit one of our favorite horror movies to help remind us why we keep coming back to hunts and challenges and Hooptober.

I hope you have enjoyed my hunt and I hope you have a fruitful Hooptober. Thank you 😊
