This will by my first Hooptober! Normally at this time of year I'm too busy going to film festivals, conventions and general Halloween events/movies to have time to really dedicate myself to a hardcore horror film watch list challenge. I guess the pandemic blessing of sorts is I finally have time for Hooptober this year.
I have decided to take this Hooptober opportunity to whittle down my Shudder watch list so almost everything here is currently on Shudder. That also means that the majority of this list are first time watches for me. There are a few exceptions of course.
