Horror selections 2016

So, there's a site I'm a member of called Letterboxd.com (which I cannot recommend enough if you're an avid film watcher). Every year, a member named Cinemonster initiates a site-wide challenge named in Tobe Hooper's (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist) honor, called Hooptober. 31 horror movies must be watched between September 15th and October 31st, but they all must meet the list's criteria (eg; 7 franchise movies, 3 crazy animal movies, 5 movies made before 1970, etc). Films can crossover and meet multiple criteria, but all must be met before you start watching them. A few of these were rewatches, to properly assess films I hadn't watched in quite a while.

I felt compelled to do quick illustrations for each movie, but I was too busy to do 31 pieces. I instead opted to do pieces for the ones I felt like, which are here. Wanted to go a bit more experimental with the frame design, so these were a ton of fun!
