I joined Hooptober last year for the first time and it was a bunch of fun, discovered some fantastic new favourites and loved exploring horror works I otherwise would never have seen.
So here we are again with a new batch of films. Just like last year, trying to focus on films I haven't seen before (though it's not entirely possible this year due to The Wizard of Oz, so I'll be a bit more lenient on that personal rule).
Also, since I will be traveling almost the entire month of October, I will also be a little more lenient in the time department. I'll be trying to fit most of the films within the 15 September - 31 October…
