Another year, another Hoop-tober challenge! I do look forward to this even though I rarely complete the whole thing. I stick to a fairly loose definition of horror which allows me to navigate some rather bizarre cult film channels. It all feels about right for both this time of year and the project.

As always, this list description will constantly be updated with a database of all the reviews I do for this project. Click to see more below for links to reviews as they come in and updated awards toward the end of the project...
