This year's list is a bit of a hodgepodge of first time viewing and revisiting favorites as I charge into my 4th year of participating in HoopTober. Several of my selections are double or even triple dips for the "Horror x52" and "52 Years In 52 Weeks" challenges run by kynky I'm also doing. Everything after the extra credit picks are just horror stuff I'm watching on the side.

I'm going to stick to adding in horror films from other viewings during the challenge to the end of the list, and I'm also continuing with the added level of difficulty of doing either haikus or limericks for my reviews. Enjoy, and have a Happy HoopTober!!!

(Criteria met by each film is in the notes.)
