“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” - H.P. Lovecraft

Hooptober 12. My ninth year being a part of this annual horror tradition. In a time where personal and global anxieties collide, I find comfort in the reliable fright of this spooky marathon. So I can't wait to cuddle up, catch the sun dipping below the horizon, and enjoy watching the world unravel on the screen just as it does all around us.

Movies will be listed in the order they are watched, with any extras I can fit in added as well. The original Cinemonster hooptober list can be found here: boxd.it/EsPD6
