Well, it's that time of the year. That time when I watch more horror films in the span of a month than during the whole year. This is what I live for. Ain't that juste like an insane, but awesome challenge? We have to thank Cinemonster for this great challenge! It's already the fifth year for Hooptober and that's crazy.
