I was already planning to pack my October with movies, but I was tentative about doing Hooptober again because of the criteria constraints and my other ongoing challenge. But I worked out double dipping on a few of the movies and picked some that covered several criteria so I could slap whatever was convenient into last few slots. I aimed for basically all first time watches too; gotta work through that watch list somehow!

I'll tack anything extra I watch during the month into the list as I go along. I'll also rearrange the list into order watched as I hit them, so the notes might get a little wonky.

Check out the OG list here for all the rules and other participants. Good luck and happy haunting to everyone!

Final Comments: Well, Hooptober is over and despite several road trips and other things keeping me very busy, I managed to complete the challenge in full, and rack up a pretty substantial amount of bonus movies along the way! I can't say it was always pleasant, but it got me off the beaten path, which is good thing. I hope everyone else had a pleasant Hooptober and Halloween as well!
