It's returned to Letterboxd... and it's turning the big 1-0!

Below are the rules for this year's Hooptober put forth by host and challenge creator Cinemonster as well as my choices for each criteria.

Also, I made sure to primarily choose films I've never seen as a bonus and am including any additional horror-related films I watch during this time as Bonus Watches.

I hope to keep the majority of this list set, but it is of course subject to change due to streaming/general availability.

As always, good night, pray for day… and happy horror watching during this Hooptober season!

Thank you again as always, Cinemonster, for putting on this fantastic event.
