Hooptober 8.0
October Horror Movie Challenge
Oct 31: Well, I've watched 43% of this list, so... I guess it all just goes on next year's wishlist.
I'm already feeling the spooky mood in July, so I thought I'd starting planning my Halloween watches. I do the reddit October Horror Movie Challenge and Hooptober, so this is the pool I'd like to draw from for both. I'll link my official challenge lists when I get them posted.
I don't know all the categories yet, so now it's mostly recent releases, classics I haven't quite gotten to yet, and random stuff from my watchlist.
I'll put categories and streaming services in the notes.
Recommendations always welcome!
