It looks like it's that time of year again and I couldn't be more excited. Last year was my first entry attempt at a Hooptober and I have been spending all year looking forward to doing it again. I love horror movies and there are a lot of movies on my list I've been meaning to see but needed a reason. This is that reason.
As with last year, all of these movies will be first-time watches for me. Of course, all of the love goes to cinemonster for creating this challenge. If you also want to participate, click the link below to the original challenge.
