My third year participating in Hooptober! 31 films leading up to Halloween (plus a handful more)! The list was curated using the rules below and entries are checked off as they are watched in the months of September & October.

This is a nice little nice mix of first-watches and re-watches, and I may have played a little fast and loose with the categories to get the full Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy in there, but hey, it's my list, I do what I want.
