I joined lots of challenges on LB in the last few years which doesn't really work for my watching habits anymore. Hooptober is the only challenge I plan continuing the following years. I like anticipating this special occasion throughout the year.
As always, thanks for hosting, Cinemonster.

Previous Hooptobers I took part in:

Hooptober X (2023)
Hooptober Neun! (2022)
Hooptober 8.0 (2021)
Hooptober 7.0 (2020)

[only managed to watch 27/31. i watched a lot of other (horror) films and attended a festival so it's kinda my fault.
didn't watch: Deadly Blessing, Hisss, Kaun?, The Hands of Orlac and Spontaneous Combustion]
