Hoop-Tober until I die. I think that pretty much sums up my mentality when it comes to this yearly extravaganza..

Once again I'm continuing my yearly trend of participating in a whole range of horror genre-related mayhem. And as usual, I like to keep things varied and diverse. Some pre-code stuff here, some slasher flicks there, and as with last year a larger number of post-2000 stuff than I normally do, with a particularly special franchise gauntlet to boot. Perhaps again I'm stretching myself thin with the quantity of films, but I try to make each year count.

The rules were a tougher criteria to meet than usual, and since I had the vast majority of this list planned out for months, it simply wasn't possible for me to meet them all. Not that it matters since I've always been one to do things my own way, especially since this event is a convenient excuse for me to just gather and watch a bunch of horror-related shit.

Dedicated to the memory of David Lynch.
