It seems my Hooptober Lists are becoming much like reverse Star Trek films (all the odd ones are good years for me, and all the even ones are bad ones). I say that because I nearly completed my first outing with this horror challenge (Hooptober 7), but with the next year's list (8), I fell way behind on completion, but last year (Hooptober Neun) I managed to slay the beast and watch ALL the films on my list!!! So pray for me that I can break this cycle and go 2-for-2 on consecutive challenge completions!
As always, if you've followed me or my challenge lists before, there a a lot of extra films on here. It's mostly because I'm not…

As always, if you've followed me or my challenge lists before, there a a lot of extra films on here. It's mostly because I'm not 100% decided on which film I wanna watch for a specific criteria, and I want to have options in case a film I want to watch is no longer streaming (seeing as how we don't officially start until September 15th). I'm also unclear about the "Satan/Devil centered films" criteria as of this moment, so that may change drastically depending on clarification...lol.
Once again, the way I organize my list is by category, not (necessarily) in the order I'll watch them in, and it's organized as such:

****I'm proud to have Screambox back as a partner, this year. I'd like to thank them for being a part of Hooptober Live, too.
Use This Link for a complimentary trial, and watch Shaky Shivers.
There is a lot of cool stuff on Screambox, so enjoy. 🤡
