The spooky season is upon us once again and that can only mean one thing! It is time to get ready for the most awaited event on Letterboxd: Cinemonster's Hoop-Tober Challenge! A month & a half of horror unleashing blood, guts, screams & terror among participants as they take on monsters, vampires, witches, werewolves, zombies, demons, ghosts, serial killers & more. This year marks the 8th edition of this annual festivity and everyone is invited!
For the lurkers & first-timers, this is one great opportunity to get through all the horror films you've amassed in your watchlist but haven't mustered the motivation or courage to check them out. Yes, every edition comes with its own set of rules but the whole point of this…

This year marks the 8th edition of this annual festivity and everyone is invited!
For the lurkers & first-timers, this is one great opportunity to get through all the horror films you've amassed in your watchlist but haven't mustered the motivation or courage to check them out. Yes, every edition comes with its own set of rules but the whole point of this event is to encourage you to dive deeper into the world of horror and seek out cinematic gems you never thought existed. And that's where lies the beauty coz there's always new discoveries to be made.
To the ones returning for another round, welcome back to the madness, folks. This is only getting more addictive every year, isn't it? Also, a special shoutout to everyone who's been around from the start and has been a part of all 8 Hoop-Tober seasons so far. And of course, a big thanks & heartiest congratulations to Cinemonster for arranging yet another amazing challenge that hopefully will become the biggest one so far.
As before, I'll be starting my horror marathon from Oct 1st and will be aiming for 31 horror films in 31 nights for the 8th year in a row. And so the following films are the ones I've chosen for my contribution to Cine's Hoop-Tober 8.0. Some rules will be broken and few of these entries may get replaced over the course of the month, depending on either my mood or the film's availability. But enough talk for now. Let's have a spooky time till Halloween, shall we?
