This may be HoopTober 8, but this is my 2nd year participating in this Halloween, horror watching challenge, and I can't wait for the fun to officially begin in 15 days!!

A number of the films on this year's list will be fulfilling movies on other horror film list challenges that I'm doing (Thank goodness), and I also have a good bit of films that I've wanted to watch for a while, but just haven't gotten to yet (for one reason or another). Fingers crossed that I actually manage to complete this year's list (I failed last year by just 3 films😭) 🤞
