It's been a horrific enough year without me trying to kick this intro up a notch with flowery language to get you psyched for the seventh - that's right, SEVENTH - round of Horror saturation that is the Hooptober marathon.

You know the drill: head over to that maniacal, malevolent master of ceremonies Cinemonster and check out his list and rules for this year, create your own, and have at it.

Good luck, Godspeed, and stay safe.
