"If one horror movie hits everyone says, 'Let's go make a horror film' It's the genre that never dies."
I was 24 years young when I joined the first Hooptober. I was still a horror noob. A padawan in the horror genre. I just knew the big Slasher guys but Hooptober opened my eyes to Horror.

Anyway, for this year we'll look at:
There must be 31 horror films…
