CINEMONSTER'S MASTER LIST

The most beautiful time of the year is approaching once more. The weather is cooling down, the rain visits more often, the trees are getting ready to rest, and the TVs start lighting the rooms with the glow of horror movies more frequently again. Halloween season is nigh.
Our beloved Cinemonster once more stepped up to provide us with a seasonal horror marathon challenge and I'm excited to participate once more in this unholy tradition.

Okay, you know what? I just read the Letterboxd interview with our lord and savior Cinemonster and now I'm inspired to go with a full list of 31 titles after all (plus that one Scooby-Doo short he recommends).
My main priority will still be the 18 movies that actually satisfy all the categories. It's kinda like that's level 1.
Level 2 is doing every other movie that's kind of a "bonus movie" to fill up the 31.
