And if you choose to take the HoopTober Challenge yourself, make sure to link to your list in the comments and TAG your reviews with HoopTober7.0 so we can keep track of what we're watching. Be sure to link to your list over on Cinemonster's page as well, as they are the Frankenstein cursed with creating this particular monster every year.
