17/31 so far
I love horror movies and every year I get the chance to broaden my horizons when Hooptober rolls around. Unlike last year, where I failed miserably cause I was working too much, I feel like this year I'm actually going to finish!
This list feels a bit all of the place in terms of tone, but I like the variety. As always these are entirely first time watches for me. Lot of movies I never thought of watching, along with some classics I needed to get around to. A highlight is going to be when I get to see Nosferatu in theatres with live music accompaniment at the end of September. True serendipity in having it fit…

Happy Hooping!
