At the witching hour, out there in the darkness beyond sanity where mortals dare not tread, the conga line of the damned forms yet again. The unholy anniversary is upon us, anon! 10 years of summoning forth all the catastrophic evil and blood-thickening fear from the motion picture arts has finally forged the complete spell that can unravel existence into a shrieking eternal void of anguish and "Leprechaun" sequels.
The poison inside all men's hearts shall waltz with the malevolence of mother nature to a chaos serenade conducted by death incarnate as if to say, "okay, how about a movie with a killer possum? Have they ever done that? Have you ever seen a possum in the middle of the night out in the distance? They're fuckin terrifying! What if it's a masked homicidal doomsday cult that worships a giant possum beast dwelling in the center of the woods, is that better, or just like a hat on a hat?" To which we as ever reply: as you wish, Hooptober. Bring it on!
The master list from our loving lord of darkness Cinemonster.
