All included! Also important to note that I haven't seen any of these, with the two exceptions being The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which I wanted to rewatch for the longest time now, and ofcourse John Carpenter's Halloween, which I **hope** my local arthouse-y theater will show close to the release of David Gordon Green's 2018 Halloween so I can catch it there. It will be pretty disappointing if they don't, so here's ho(o)ping they do.
Interestingly, this seemed a bit harder to put together compared to the Hooptober lists of previous years. I tried to include as many classics, recommendations and hooptober skips as I could. I put the hooptober skips of previous years at the front of the list as much as possible, otherwise they'll float in my Hooptober lists for the rest of eternity.
Happy Hoopin' y'all!
Edits:
- Removed Hellraiser II, replaced it with Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
- Added Demon Knight. Didn't remove anything, because I didn't really want to (32 it is).
