It’s that time of year again already. I love HoopTober and what Cinemonster has created here and it makes me so excited when I look at ‘lists popular with friends’ and see the year’s new list with new criteria. Such a great way to continually expand my horizons in horror and provides an easy way to get friends involved in this “horror movie scavenger hunt.” This is my 4th year and it’ll be that much more exciting because I’ll be getting married September 23, right in the middle of Hooptober! Cheers and let’s get to it…
