Well friends, if any of you are still out there, I hope you'll join me again for another edition of my favorite annual list, Cinemonster's very own HOOPTOBER!!

This year is tinged with sadness yet again as the Mount Rushmore of horror directors has lost two huge faces in George A. Romero and the man himself Tobe Hooper. But let's not linger on the sad and instead use this wonderful time of year to reflect on the incredible body of work they both left behind.

Luckily this October is definitely going to be easier for me to watch movies than it was last year so I hope to maximize my productivity in terms of scaring myself shitless.

I will definitely try to review as many of these as possible and of course if you want to play along here are the ground rules:

6 sequels (mix-and-match. 6 total)
6 countries
6 decades
6 films from before 1970
6 films from the following: John Carpenter, Sam Raimi, James Whale, Tod Browning, Wes Craven, Tom Holland (mix-and-match, or all one)
3 people eating people (non-zombie)
1 Hammer Film
1 Romero Dead film
1 terrible oversight (use the following link, filter out the films you've seen and picked the highest rated film from the list that you can get ahold of) letterboxd.com/films/genre/horror/by/rating/size/small/

And 2 Tobe Hooper Films (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)

happy halloween to all you wonderful people out there and I can't wait to enjoy this list with all of you.
