And another year of sweet Hooptober.
Let's see where we're at on Oct 31, but starting with 39 films; The 31 the rules call for, the 3 for extra work, 3 short silents to get all decades with horror films (1890–2020), and two non-horror hoops. All new watches, except the extras and The Wizard of Oz. Details ⬇️ and under each film (ended up watching 51 films last year, won't be able to this year). And yes, films may change due to a whim or availability.
Cinemonster's original list with all the details here.

Update Sept 27: Life. It takes some turns you didn't see coming. Will probably watch most of the films, and more, but with my head somewhere else might not find the energy to review them (but read others'). Been here before and know one way I turn things off is to watch movies. Thank God for them, eh.
