HoopTober Ocho Video Countdown!!

Welcome library horror hounds!! Library staff are once again participating in the annual HoopTober Challenge here on Letterboxd, hoping to help fuel your nightmares with a wide variety of horror movies. Starting September 15th, staff will watch and review 31 horror movies by the end of October. All of these movies are available to watch for free through your library, and we stand at the ready to offer additional suggestions (and help you find them) as desired.

Follow us here on Letterboxd to keep up with our reviews, and cast an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages for prize opportunities.

And if you choose to take the HoopTober Challenge yourself, make sure to link to your list in the comments and TAG your reviews with HoopTober8.0 so we can keep track of what we're watching. Be sure to link to your list over on Cinemonster's page as well, as they are the Frankenstein cursed with creating this particular monster every year.

Click "read notes" or the glasses icon if using the Letterboxd app to read our reviews and place holds or stream on Kanopy.
