Greetings everyone! Longtime no see to old friends and familiar faces and a warm hello to newest members. This is the seventh year of HoopTober, but my first time ever participating. I've always been too shy and nervous and anxious to partake despite this being my favorite month and loving horror. You never truly get over your fears until you dive head-first into it, so I guess that's what I'm doing. Diving in head-first into this wonderful time of year to write and share what I'm watching and to interact with others again and get back at the passion for horror and film.

My list 99.9% final, but will be watched out of order (to spice things up and because I'm still waiting for my UHD player to watch certain titles). I will do my best to review each title properly, with no half-ass'ing anything. I do also plan on watching other horror titles outside of this list (though I may not have the time to review them), because you can never have enough horror and fun.

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)
