Done! Link to ranking and reviews!

I am beyond excited to be participating in my very first Hooptober this season, the beloved annual tradition that is now its eighth (!!!) year and still creeping, crawling, stalking and shambling along as horrifyingly as ever.

And being as it coincides perfectly with my personal #365Days365Movies project, I am doing the full run. Meaning: no overlaps, no rewatches (with one exception), no corner cutting. 39 films in total. And I'm fully expecting to go out of my mind, or I demand a refund! Let's goooo!
