Hooptober 12
This year felt very dream like, or maybe it was a nightmare. 

Edit Nov 2,2025:
Finally completed my list, just a little late.
Top 5:
1.) Let the Right One In (2008)
2.) Rabid (1977)
3) Bad Hair (2020)
4.) Slumber Party Massacre 2 (1987)
5.) Return of the Living Dead (1985)

Year 2 for me, but I started late this year which has led to time constraints, hopefully I finish before the 31st. 

Once again, I made it hard on myself and watched only movies I haven’t seen, except for The Wizard of Oz and The Birds.
