Eight years of doing the challenge, and the excitement never fades! My goal this year is to revisit more favorites from previous HoopTobers and favorites in general versus striving for tons of new films. Granted, I'll still be getting several new-to-me viewings in as I continue with the Podcast Macabre Challenge and the 100 Horror Films in 92 Days challenges.
As per my running tradition, the "Haiku Reviews" will be accompanying each write up. Check the notes of each film to see what criteria I'm using it for. Have fun, folks, and I look forward to checking out all your lists!
