Hooptober is one of my favorite things about Letterboxd, and I'm thrilled to be participating for my 6th year in row!

As always, I began by choosing movies with as much category crossover as possible. Then I use my extra slots to hit some current releases, big blindspots, and movies that fit into whatever theme that emerges. As the title implies, this year I'm hitting multiple 'Dracula' adaptations, films about the Devil, and movies set around high school (shoutout to Criterion Channel!)
