The day is here, for which I have been shivering with antici............pation.

Our ninth Hooptober, and my sixth! This is when Letterboxd shines its brightest for me, and thanks to this year's criteria it looks like there's a lot that I may never have watched otherwise - and that's one of Hooptober's beauties. For my freebies, I went with a lot less slasher franchise than usual, which will hopefully keep the list's average up too. Plus I'll get to see a couple of these in theaters!

Make sure to thank Cinemonster for all this - as always, I am eternally grateful. Check in with his original list here: boxd.it/gLelm

Let's get spooky. In the immortal words of Rob Zombie: "YEAH!"

Now finished and ranked! A particularly good one this year.
