NEVER BEFORE such savage butchery and barbaric torture! It's time for the most desired event of the year, time again for sleepless nights with a total of 34 films. I am participating in my eighth HoopTober and the fifth with bonus, yes sir, it's Hooptober 8 - made possible by CINEMONSTER, give a big shout out to the man; hail to the king, baby!

For this year's edition of Hoop-Tober, I've selected some goodies with lots of new titles this time based on the rules so I can celebrate October with some more horror. For the curious ones, the list contains 14% watched (5 of 34) films.
