My first year with Hoop-Tober! For the last 6 or 7 years, I have watched 31 horror movies in the month of October. It's been a task that I have said every year that I wouldn't repeat and then come July the following year, I'm already piecing my list together. Hoop-Tober gives me the opportunity to do it again, but to force myself to be a little more creative. So I'm really excited!
