Dear friends und fiends,
another year has flown by, and Hooptober is just around the corner. And of course, I'm taking part again. It's great to see how the list of participants keeps growing every year and how our group of horror lovers is getting bigger and bigger.
Once again, my list is a mix of films that I've been meaning to watch over the past few years, as well as some obscure and diverse picks. It's going to be a tight schedule for me since I’ll be missing about two weeks (damn vacation), but we’ll make it work.
With that said, I wish you all a wonderful Hooptober!

Schon wieder ist ein Jahr wie im Flug vergangen und der Hooptober steht vor der Tür. Und selbstverständlich bin ich wieder mit dabei. Es ist toll zusehen, wie die Liste der Teilnehmer jedes Jahr wächst und unsere Gruppe der Horrorliebhaber immer größer wird.
Mal wieder ist meine Liste eine Mischung aus liegengebliebenen Filme der letzten Jahre, möglichst Obskures und Diverses. Es wird ein strammes Programm für mich, da mir rund zwei Wochen fehlen (verdammter Urlaub), aber das bekommen wir hin.
In dem Sinne euch allen einen wundervollen Hooptober!
