Hooptober 12: Oz, Osgood, and Onibaba, Oh My!

Somehow my 8th Hooptober!

I managed to include a lot of films already on my watchlist this year, and I’m especially excited to revisit The Wizard of Oz for the first time in many years. RIP David Lynch—this one’s for you.

As always, my bonus films are likely to change.
