After failing by a small margin last year (three films unfortunately went unseen), I'm motivated to get back into hooptober - for the fourth time by now.

I'm pretty confident for this year, my list is strong and I'm damn keen on every single one of the films. Wish me luck and as always: Remember the masks.

Shoutout to Cinemonster for this great challenge every year and also to the amazing Arrow Player for screening a lot of great horror films that fit this years criteria.
