It's Hooptober #6 for me! While I'm always sad when summer ends, the start of September means that I get to plan my Halloween viewing schedule along with everyone else here on Letterboxd. It's a ritual that I'm always excited for at the start of fall :D

This year was a momentous one: I got a degree, got married, got a dog and got COVID (for the first and hopefully last time). Now I'm working full-time at a university and looking back on the last several years of hard work and struggle, grateful that I kept with it and didn't give up on myself. There's still a ways to go, but I'm finally able to breathe. And, maybe, between all the dog-walks and reception-planning, watch a few movies!

Thanks, as always, to Cinemonster for originating and arranging this crazy thing. Here's the rules:
