Edit: Finished late this year due to hospitalization, better late than never ;)

Been looking forward to this all year <3 I only do new movies that I've never seen. This year will mark alot of changes this fall season and I'm looking forward to getting comfy with fall horror movies sipping on coffee. Also I rank the selections at the end of the marathon, and will add notes as to what criteria which movies are covering. This year I'd like to include selections from friends as well.

Instructions below pasted from original post by Cinemonster

OK, here we go:

I will begin as I did the last nine(!) years: I would like to do 31 horror films in October, but that doesn't seem possible at the moment so I will start my 31 on September 15th.

I WILL REVIEW THEM ALL (I really mean that). Those of you not new to the LB block know that horror is near and dear to my heart.

-I challenge anyone to do the same and use the TAG HoopToberX so we can read each others stuff.

-If you are going to do it, list your link to YOUR list in the comments and i will add it to the intro to help others find your list. ( Hoop-tober index is HERE, 2.O HERE, 3.O HERE, 4.O HERE, 5.O HERE, 6.O HERE, 7.O HERE, 8.O HERE, 9.O HERE)

QUICK EASY RULES:

There must be 31 films
6 countries
8 decades
2 post apocalyptic or natural disaster related films
1 film with Robert Englund
1 something is underground film
3 Satan/Devil centered films
1 Amicus film.
The worst Dracula film (by Letterboxd rating) that you haven't seen and can access.
1 LGBTQ+ connected film
5 Films from De Palma, Wes Craven, Ken Russell, Hitchcock and/or Moorehead & Benson.
2 Peter Cushing films
1 film based on a work of or invoking the name Bram Stoker
1 film based on a Clive Barker story
1 film that was released the year that you turned 10
1 Mario Bava film.
1 film with an 'x' in the title

And 1 Tobe Hooper Film (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)

***FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO DO EXTRA WORK: WATCH The Zodiac Killer and 10 Rillington Place. Like last year, there is a third film: Shaky Shivers.

****I'm proud to have Screambox back as a partner, this year. I'd like to thank them for being a part of Hooptober Live, too.
Use This Link for a complimentary trial, and watch Shaky Shivers.

There is a lot of cool stuff on Screambox, so enjoy. 🤡

-review them all.(eek)

Clearly one film can satisfy multiple criteria. Viewing and reviewing will begin at 12:01am cst on Sept 15th.
