A new year, a new Hooptober. I particularly liked this year's rules and was able to put together a list of films that I'm really excited about. With the book fair, the board game fair, and lots of work appointments, I have a lot of other things on my plate and I'm not sure I'll be able to watch all 31 films this year, but I'll give it a shot—I'm up for it! As every year: Many thanks to Cinemonster and good luck to all the other participants. Happy Halloween!
