It’s my sixth year participating in this lovely horror movie scavenger hunt launched by Cinemonster and I’ve got a ton of flicks I’m *psyched* to see for the first time and some I’m just as eager to revisit.

Without any further ado, let’s get to THE RULES:
Hooptobers Past: 7 || 8 || 9 || X || 11
Rewatches: Return of the Living Dead; Midsommar; Carrie; The Wizard of Oz; German Chainsaw Massacre
