This is my second time doing Hooptober. I actually finished Hooptober X last year by October 31st, even though it took me quite a while to write all my reviews. I hope to be better about adding the reviews in a more timely manner. The only movie I have seen on this list is the OG Psycho. Everything else is new to me.
