This may be the seventh year for HoopTober, but it’ll be my first year diving into the challenge. The criteria for the 31 (make that 33, and counting) films is below:

== Cinemonster's List - boxd.it/7phpm ==
I will begin as I did the last six years: I would like to do 31 horror films in October, but that doesn't seem possible at the moment so I will start my 31 on September 15th.

I WILL REVIEW THEM ALL (I really mean that). Those of you not new to the LB block know that horror is near and dear to my heart.

-I challenge anyone to do the same and use the TAG HoopTober7.0 so we can read each others stuff.

-If you are going to do it, list your link to YOUR list in the comments and i will add it to the intro to help others find your list. ( Hoop-tober index is HERE, 2.O HERE, 3.O HERE, 4.O HERE, 5.O HERE, 6.O HERE)

QUICK EASY RULES:
6 countries
6 decades
7 2nd films of franchises
4 body horror films
2 films from this year
3 disease based films
The highest rated horror film from the 50s that you haven't seen and can access
1 film that is set entirely inside one location
1 Invisible Person film
1 Non Dracula Hammer Film
2 films with a black director or predominantly black cast or lead. 
1 film with a movie theater in it.

And 1 Tobe Hooper Films (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)

***FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO DO EXTRA WORK: WATCH The Witch Who Came From the Sea and Cube 2: Hypercube
-review them all.(eek)

Clearly one film can satisfy multiple criteria. Viewing and reviewing will begin at 12:01am cst on Sept 15th.

With All that said, here’s to my maiden voyage into the seas of HoopTober...
