Hooptober XII (2025): If I Only Had a Brains

Thank you Cinemonster, and Slappy McGee, for 12 great years of horror, community, and collective bashing our heads against our keyboards.

Y'all know how this works, and this year we're watching the Wizard of Oz AND a bunch of zombie films.

Read Cinemonster's excellent original post, personal list, and the giant list of us scoundrels and ruffians in public participation here.

And damnit, I'm going to watch Posession (1981) this year. It's been on my Hooptober list for years and I never seem to get around to it.

The Rules
There must be 31 horror films
6 countries (other than Italy or US)
9 decades
5 Zombie Films
