I'm excited to be back for my second Hooptober! A year ago I did not consider myself a horror enthusiast, but I'd consider that changed as this past year I would get excited every time I found a potential "Hooptober" movie. This year has a some classics, but a lot of newer movies as well.

I always try to include a wide range of subgenres, and also left myself a few classic goodies to look forward to next year :)
