So...35 points?

This is my first shot at Hooptober. The challenge started on September 15th, which seems to be the norm.

I don't plan watchlists. I don't stick to them. The idea of knowing what I'm going to watch for a month is unexciting. I pick movies by mood. In short, the only thing I may accomplish this Hooptober is to watch thirty-one horror movies and review them. The list as you see it right now shows only the movies I think I'll watch.

For the challenge, each movie has to be a first time watch. I'll list every horror movie I watch this month, including rewatches. Click "Read Notes" for details.
