It's the most wonderful time of the year for us horror fans on Letterboxd: Hooptober! The seventh (SEVENTH!) annual Hooptober challenge is set to begin, and I'm back to give it a go. As with every year, I've added an additional rule beyond the below listed ones, making sure to make my horror selections from films I've never seen or that it's been so long my memory of them is very hazy.

Hoop-Tober comes from Cinemonster and is a horror movie-watching challenge. The challenge begins on September 15th and runs through October 31st, with a goal of 31 horror films watched. This year's rules are reprinted below for simplicity (and also available 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.
