💀🧑‍💻Spook-A-Doodle Bracketology Tournament & Movie Club Master List👩‍💻💀

Congratulations to the 2023 HalloweeNIT champion and the first of 64 teams to enter the 2024 Spook-a-Doodle Tournament... mbd's Older Than America!

Another season of the Spook-a-Doodle Bracketology Tournament & Movie Club has come to an end and we wait until 2024 for the new season. But as I've done the last few years I'm celebrating Halloween with a mini tournament made up of the 16 teams that just missed the tournament this year. HalloweeNIT '23!

I'll set up polls where people can vote on the matchups, I'll draw a new round based on the results each week, and eventually a HalloweeNIT champion will be crowned. Whoever wins this tournament will gain an automatic entry into the '24 Tournament. And anyone who completes this challenge earns an Automatic BYE into the tournament they can give to any nominee. All you have to do is watch and review all 31 films drawn by Nov 1st.

Note: To hit 31 movies I'll draw one last film from the Champion.
Note: This is not an official Bracketology tournament so all films are still eligible for future tournaments.
Note: All matchups will be up for a public vote but in the event of a tie I will pick the winner with a coin toss.

Schedule
- Challenge begins Sept 25th.
- Elite Eight drawn Oct 5th.
- Final Four drawn Oct 12th.
- Championship drawn Oct 19th.
- Champion crowned and final movie drawn Oct 26th.
- Challenge ends Nov 1st.
