Raging pandemics and their associated variants, global political terror and chaos, skyrocketing body counts...it sounds like a horror film (it sounds like the CBS All Access version of THE STAND), but that's just the new normal, folks. I don't know if it's possible to sow a more ominous setting to kick off the EIGHTH annual Hooptober marathon, and frankly I'd be terrified if you tried.
There's some solace to be had, though. Our infernal Professor of Pulsating Horror Cinemonster has a devious set of new rules to adhere to, so head over to his list, draft your list for the Year of Our COVID Lord 2021, sharpen your instruments and commence slicing.
Good luck, Godspeed, and stay safe.
