My favorite time of the year is close at hand once again!

Below are the rules established for this year's Hooptober by host and challenge creator Cinemonster as well as my choices for each "category."

Also, I made sure to only choose films I've never seen as a bonus.

Good night, good luck and happy horror watching during this Hooptober season!

My Past Hooptober Lists:
If This Challenge Doesn’t Make Your Skin Crawl…
You’re Not Doing It Right!: Hooptober 6.0

Something Has Found Me… It’s Hooptober 5.0!

Will I survive and what will be left of me?: Hooptober 4.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Announcement 10/25/20: While I’ve finished the challenge, I will be adding every horror movie I watch up until Halloween night to this list as a “Bonus Watch” of sorts.

Furthermore, I've now ranked the films as well. However, the documentary The Dead Will Walk: The Making of Dawn of the Dead is last only because I don't rate documentaries.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"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.
