31 days of October, 31 horror movies to watch — it’s Cinemonster’s annual Hoop-tober challenge!

We’ve got classics, sequels, remakes, rewatches, and a few slightly embarrassing first-time viewings (Paranormal Activity, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Jaws) 😅 Sharing the challenge with me this year is my good friend and horror film buff, Vampire Nomad. Say hi, Beeny!

Hi everyone! Thanks for inviting me in (which is what one has to do with vampires) to this year’s spookfest. I’m excited to achieve this. Also my embarrassing first time viewing? Texas Chainsaw Massacre. YES. I’m sorry.

Well, this should at least distract us from how Hallowe’en — or the trick-or-treating part anyway — isn’t going to be a thing this year, right?

Previously:
・ The only thing we have to fear, is Hoop-tober 4.O
・ To avoid fainting, keep repeating: “it’s only Hoop-tober 5 ...only Hoop-tober 5”
・ Who will survive, and what will be left of Hoop-tober 6(66)?
