It's time for Hooptober Ocho: The Only Way to Stop a Bad Guy with a Chainsaw is a Good Guy with a Chainsaw!

I couldn't be more excited to be returning for my 6th season of Hoop-Tober. This continues to be the only time-bound Letterboxd challenge that I've never failed to complete. As such, the pressure is on, as I have no intention of mucking up my streak!

I was particularly pleased with the lack of the "franchise films" task this year, as I always struggle to fill in those slots. However, I think I'm paying for it with the Birdemic movies. Why, Cinemonster?? You can't ask me to watch a sequel to a movie I haven't seen... so now I have to watch TWO Birdemic flicks?!

The first 31 films in this list are my original picks for this challenge, presented in chronological order. After that the 3 extra credit films are listed. I'll add more to the bottom of the list throughout the month if and when I watch horror films not already represented here.

Requirements:
✓ 31 Total Films - (39/31)
✓ 6 countries - (9/6)
✓ 8 decades - (8/8)
✓ 2 folk horror - (2/2)
✓ 4 films from 1981 - (4/4)
✓ 2 films from my birth year - 1980 - (2/2)
✓ 2 haunted house films - (3/2)
