My first year doing the Hooptober Challenge. Ready to finally get a lot of these checked off my watchlist. Comment if you’ve seen any or let me know if you’re also doing the challenge. (Original list found here.)

At the time of creating this, I’ve seen 10 of the 67 films I’ve added to this list. While the challenge is supposed to be all first-time watches, I wanted to give the originals another viewing before checking out their sequels or remakes. A few are just ones I love that I haven’t seen in awhile. 

I’ll also add any unplanned horror films I watch through October 31st here but for the most part I’ll try to stick to this list.
