It's heeere.
Below are the rules for this year's Hooptober put forth by host and challenge creator Cinemonster as well as my choices for each criteria.
Also, I made sure to primarily choose films I've never seen as a bonus.
I hope to keep this list as set as possible, but it is of course subject to change due to availability.
Also, I’m including any horror related films I watch during this time as Bonus Watches.
As always, good night, pray for day… and happy horror watching during this Hooptober season!
Thanks again as always to Cinemonster for putting on this fantastic event.

The IT doc is on Screambox. Screambox peeps gave us Hooptober folks a code for a free trial. Everyone can watch the doc, if they want to. The code is HOOPTOBER.
There is a lot of cool stuff on Screambox (including Terrifier 2), so enjoy. 🤡
