As always, thanks to Cinemonster for putting Hooptober together every year like a champ! Got lots of good ones here I think, some trash (as expected) and an eclectic hodgepodge of stuff. I haven't seen most of these, but of course there are some rewatches among the group (especially excited for films I haven't seen since I was a teenager, like Suspiria, and are thus not properly evaluated).

EDIT:: Just replaced Joe Dante's The Howling with IT (2017).
