It's that time of year again!! And this time it's my 6-6-6th time doing the Hooptober Challenge! This year has been a whirlwind of a year for me; new job, a promotion only 6 months in, finally getting financially stable, and potential love on the horizon 👀 So, needless to say, I'm very much excited and looking forward to participating in Hooptober this year!

It's that time of year again!! And this time it's my 6-6-6th time doing the Hooptober Challenge!

As always, if you've followed me or my challenge lists before, there are some extra films on here. It's mostly because I'm not 100% decided on which film I wanna watch for a specific criteria, and I want to have options in case a film I want to watch is no longer streaming (seeing as how we don't officially start until September 15th); I mean, I already know I'm going to have to take off The Long Walk because I thought I could hold out on seeing it until the 15th, but I already know myself well enough to know I'm 1000% going watch it this upcoming Thursday😅.
Other than that, I'm excited to finally present this list to everyone else participating in Hooptober this year (I'm actually gonna share the criteria on my work blog for my co-workers who may be interested in Horror movies, but don't have Letterboxd and/or don't know about this challenge), and I'm also very excited to finally look at all of the lists that have been posted in the comments of Cinemonster's original list so far!! So, let's get this party started!
