Time once again dastardly deadites of drama, shrieking spooks of spectacle and acrid acolytes of awe - rejoice for we have been summoned to the movie marathon of mayhem that is Hooptober XII!

This will be the fifth year I've taken part in this challenge and I'm sure I've said this already but this is truly one of the highlights of the year - a huge thank you to Cinemonster for dedicating what I can only imagine to be an incomprehensible amount of time to organise this and for continuing to host this epic unification of horror nuts, the world over.

Happy Hooptober to all, and I can't wait to get started!
