Another, another year of horror, spooks and occasionally terri-bad movies with Hooptober! The year before had high highs (Iceland trip and got my old job with a pay bump) and low lows (got COVID and both maternal grandparents passed away) but Hooptober is always an event that excites me yearlong.

6 countries
8 decades
2 insect centered films
1 horror film set in space or the future
2 animated films
