Hooptober 5.0 where I follow all the rules, write reviews for all of the titles, and also make tons of comments about the ideas of sex and sexuality in each movie, because SHOOPTOBER is too good of a pun to pass up.
(I’m starting a few days early this year so that I’ll have time to watch them all)
Anyway here are the categories for this year:
10 'Anniversary Films' (Release years end in an 8, excluding 2018)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)- 40th
The Snorkel (1958)- 60th
Vinyan (2008)- 10th
Insanitarium (2008)- 10th
Tokyo Gore Police (2008)- 10th
The Machine Girl (2008)- 10th
Im Schloß der blutigen Begierde (1968)- 50th
Maniac Cop (1988)- 30th
Halloween (1988)- 30th
Killer Klowns…
