Hooptober 12 is here! My 10th attempt at the years scariest and thrillingest Halloween thrill ride, errrr list. Thanks as always to the ringmaster of terror, Cinemonster for the incredibly brutal list that is always helping me watch the films I want to see in Sept-Oct. Plus, Hooptober always helps me peep some films I wasn't expecting to watch, revisit or discover for the very first time.

CREEK! Here are the tasks... IF YOU DARE:

There must be 31 horror films
6 countries (other than Italy or US)
9 decades

5 Zombie Films
3 cult or conspiracy horror films
1 film from a Black director with a Black lead
1 film from a Mexican or Central American director
1 Canadian film
1 Russian or former Russian state film
The most popular film from the 1940s that you haven't seen and can access..
2 Post Apocalyptic horror films
1 Film with dreams or a dream as part of the plot
1 The animals are pissed at us film
1 Silent film
4 based on Novels
Any film from THIS list that you haven't seen.
1 Ernesto Gastaldi written film
1 film from 1932
I have never made a specific film a part of this before, but WIZARD of OZ ('39)

And 1 Tobe Hooper Film (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)

***FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO DO EXTRA WORK: WATCH Burn Witch Burn, German Chainsaw Massacre & Trick or Treat.

-review them all.(eek)

Clearly one film can satisfy multiple criteria. Viewing and reviewing will begin at 12:01am cst on Sept 15th.
