Laaaadies and Gentlemen, from the birthplace of F. Murray Abraham, Frank Gorshin, Andy Warhol, Gertrude Stein and Shirley Partridge, This is Hooptober 6/6/6.
This year we said goodbye to Minnie Mouse, Dick Miller, Freddie Jones, Bushwick Bill, Norma Jennings, Chewbacca, John Singleton, Varda, Joe Pilato, Larry Cohen, John Carl Buechler among other. All these people, will not be lost in time like tears in rain. They live on in the rich work they left behind for generations to come. (RIP Bushwick)
I can't believe that there are 6 of these things now. Some of you have gotten married, divorced, graduated, had kids and done all kinds of weird regular life things since we started. (Happy Babies first Hooptober, Mama-Taz) .…
Laaaadies and Gentlemen, from the birthplace of F. Murray Abraham, Frank Gorshin, Andy Warhol, Gertrude Stein and Shirley Partridge, This is Hooptober 6/6/6.

All these people, will not be lost in time like tears in rain. They live on in the rich work they left behind for generations to come. (RIP Bushwick)
I can't believe that there are 6 of these things now. Some of you have gotten married, divorced, graduated, had kids and done all kinds of weird regular life things since we started. (Happy Babies first Hooptober, Mama-Taz) . This is true for me too, as this will sadly be my first Hooptober without Mrs. Monster.
A few of you over the years have said that this goofy little challenge came along at the right time one year because it was a positive distraction from something that you were going through. This year, it will be that for me.
I'm still humbled that there are peeps out there that want to do this with me. It's as though I moved into a giant neighborhood of horror kids that I wish had existed when I was in my prime bike riding years.
The most enjoyable part for me, as always, is to see what everyone chose to watch, and the reactions to some of the stranger shit out there that people found.
I will begin as I did the last five years: I would like to do 31 horror films in October, but that doesn't seem possible at the moment so I will start my 31 on September 15th.
I WILL ACTUALLY REVIEW THEM ALL (I really mean that). Those of you not new to the LB block know that horror is near and dear to my heart.
-I challenge anyone to do the same and use the TAG HoopTober6.0 so we can read each others stuff.
-If you are going to do it, list your link to YOUR list in the comments and i will add it to the intro to help others find your list. ( Hoop-tober index is HERE, 2.O HERE, 3.O HERE, 4.O HERE, 5.O HERE)
