The time has arrived!!! This makes my 6th year of participating in HoopTober, and to make it a true challenge of exploration and terror, I've made my list entirely of films I've not seen before with the exception of Salem's Lot (I've seen all of Tobe's films now).
My other tradition of the challenge will continue, and that's writing a "haiku review"
(it's just fun to say!) for every film.
Check the notes for each film to see what criteria I'm using it for. I will also be adding in non-HoopTober horror viewings to the end of the list as they come up since I'm already doing two other horror challenges at the same time as this.
Happy HoopTobering, Fright…

***CHALLENGE COMPLETED 10/28/21***
========================================
I will begin as I did the last seven(!) 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 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 HoopTober8.0 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:
6 countries
8 decades
2 folk horror
4 films from 1981
2 films from your birth year
2 haunted house films
The worst Part 2 that you haven't seen and can access. (I realize that this will take a little work)
1 film set in the woods
1 Kaiju or Kong film (not the new K v. G)
2 Hammer films
3 films with a person of color as director or lead. (excluding Asian)
3 Asian horror films.
And 1 Tobe Hooper Films (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)
***FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO DO EXTRA WORK: WATCH JD'd Revenge, The Skull and The Scooby Doo Project
-review them all.(eek)
Clearly one film can satisfy multiple criteria. Viewing and reviewing will begin at 12:01am cst on Sept 15th.
Now let's do that voodoo that we do so well.
