Tobe Hooper's death was a rough one for me, he's one of my absolute favorites. I've already seen every one of his films, but am happy to revisit the ones I'm foggy on.

I somehow managed to finish my list last year, even though I was working a lot and tired all the time, and this year I have no idea what my schedule will…
