I always watch a ton of Horror movies around October, but this will be my first official Hooptober, and since I am a fool with high ambitions, I'm listing below the viewing requirements for ALL 8 Hooptobers and seeing if I can check them all off. I will allow a single film to check multiple requirements in multiple lists, but not the same on multiple lists (if I watch a movie from France, I'm not going to put a check on each country slot for each list, in fact I'm going to try not to repeat countries for that at all, decades will get repeated obviously). I will attempt all the extra viewing specific films, but will ignore films I have seen in the past. I will not count Oct 31st as my deadline for this and will certainly extend into November, perhaps even December, let's call first day of winter a hard deadline... HERE WE GO!

The list itself will probably change a lot as I work through it, some might not get added till I actually watch the film.
