EDIT: **DONE 10/31** still logging into 11/1, very close to 50! happy to have hit every category and saw some absolute bangers.
another year another hooptober! Been busy as fuck this year so I’m stoked to lock in. Unlike past yrs i tried my best to pick a decent amount of films ive never seen
Unfortunately if you’re gonna make a 5 film zombie category I’m gonna rewatch all of Romero’s films. Adding my current list of what I’ve planned in advance and will adjust as I go, realized last year it is better to have an outline.
Will keep watching past 31 films hoping to get to 50 🎃
happy halloween friends!
