Hello, hello. This is my first time doing Hoop-Tober. I did something similar the last couple years--alone--where I just watched and reviewed 31 horror movies of my choice (2015, 2016). Hell, I even did them on the scheduled day, one day after the other. It was... exhausting. I told myself I wouldn't do it again this year but the idea of getting in the game with others, plus the extended extra weeks in September have convinced me to give it a try.
I tried to include as many first time movies as possible (Hills Have Eyes, The Gift, Night of the Living Dead, and the original IT are the ones I can absolutely recall seeing before).
