I'm a veteran of some 5 Hooptobers but I've never done a year long horror challenge before, which seems odd considering the amount of horror I consume. So when I saw kasarin, who I've been following a long time, taking this on again I thought it would be as good a time as any! I'm rolling in a couple of my Second Hoopings films and cashing in on a lot of my Watchlist to see if I can't thin it down somewhat. Looking forward to the long slog! If anyone wants to give me suggestions from my watchlist, please feel free, but be warned- it's over 1800 films...
