It's kind of sick how much I look forward to this challenge all year. When Cinemonster, the benevolent and groovy soul who puts this thing together, posted 2 days ago that it would be dropping in 2 days, I was legitimately psyched. (Here's the big daddy list, if you're interested letterboxd.com/cinemonster/list/hooptober-6-6-6-a-number-and-ms-dee/)
I already had a Consideration List going to prep for this and, fortunately, a lot of them counted.

Additionally, I'm going all in on Werewolves this year and trying to fill in the gaps of my werewolf watching, so this should be fun.
Update: 11/2 It turns out I was not all about the werewolves this year, but I did finally watch all the Elm Streets I hadn't seen and I did fulfill all the requirements of the challenge. Finished it up Halloween night with "Sleepy Hollow". Had a blast, as always, and can't wait to do it again next year.
