Doing this again. Here's the whole usual spiel:

I will begin as I did the last eleven(!) 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 Hooptober12 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. ( Hoop-tober index is HERE, 2.O HERE, 3.O HERE, 4.O HERE, 5.O HERE, 6.O HERE, 7.O HERE, 8.O HERE, 9.O HERE, 10.O HERE 11.O HERE)

QUICK EASY RULES:

There must be 31 horror films
6 countries (other than Italy or US)
