Hello!
Link to this years list of the Hooptober Head Honcho himself

First time Hooptoberer here and I'm excited to try this out.
I have just awoken from my slumber of 'movie watching block' with the help of movies such as Pink Flamingos and Deep Red. I hope I get through all of these and I wish everyone good luck with their challenges!
PS. Lists name is slightly alternated from Umberto Lenzis Eyeball (1975) tagline, seemed fitting as anything.
No rewatches
Started 28.9
Final count 26/33
[UPDATE]
Unfortunately I weren't able to complete the challenge fully, but it doesn't matter because I got to experience a lot of different movies. At times dreadful and awfully boring, but then fun…

You need everything for this horror-soup mix to work, because without bad there ain't good and vice versa.
One of the more fun things were to read and follow people on their journey, scroll through unique lists that people made and find diamonds in the rough.
Let's see about next year, maybe I will have a another crack at it and start sooner than this year (started 28.9)
