The time has arrived, and my OCD, list making, horror movie loving heart is ready for the challenge!!!
This is my third year participating in this wonderful challenge created by the legendary Cinemonster (thank you!!), and I aim to complete my list for the third year in a row. I'm also doing three other viewing challenges during this. There shall be some crossover to ease my viewing load. Categories the film count for are in the notes of each one.
So without further ado, here's the link to Cinemonster's own list and the rules for this year's challenge: boxd.it/1M0Iy
Almost forgot! Between the other horror challenges, my own challenge (stay tuned!), homework for The Podcast Macabre, and stuff I'll watch…

Almost forgot! Between the other horror challenges, my own challenge (stay tuned!), homework for The Podcast Macabre, and stuff I'll watch just because, this list will grow beyond the 33 films here as I add the other horror stuff I've watched between Sept. 15th and Halloween. Last year, I clocked in 88 films during that time period. (My 4.0 list: boxd.it/1dOkQ )
====================
I will begin as I did the last four 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 HoopTober5.0 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.
QUICK EASY RULES:
10 'Anniversary Films' (Release years end in an 8, excluding 2018)
6 countries
6 decades
6 films from before 1970
6 films from the following: Romero, Cronenberg, Clive Barker, Terrence Fischer, Sergio Martino, Bill Lustig (mix-and-match, or all one)
2 flying things that kill you films
1 silent film as a tribute to A Quiet Place
1 aquatic menace film as a tribute to Meg
2 women directed films
1 inanimate object comes alive film
1 film with Barbara Crampton in it.
And 2 Tobe Hooper Films (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)
***FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO DO EXTRA WORK: WATCH TALES FROM THE HOOD AND TALES FROM THE HOOD 2, WHICH DROPS OCT 2. YOU WILL RECEIVE A SHOUT OUT IN NEXT YEARS HOOP-TOBER. JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOUVE FINISHED ALL 33***
-review them all.(eek)
Clearly one film can satisfy multiple criteria. Viewing and reviewing will begin at 12:01am cst on Sept 15th.
I was going to suggest a few weeks back that we form a protective circle around John Carpenter, as we have lost Craven, Romero and Hooper right before past Hooptobers. We seem to be in the clear.
No more sadness. Let's get on with it.
