We're back with another Hooptober! Once again, I'll watch at least 31 horror movies from September through Halloween. The official start is September 15, but I may need to start sooner.
These will all be first-time watches, with the exception of THE EXORCIST. Some will cover multiple categories. I may even double dip and cover some for both Hooptober and The Podcast Macabre Horror Challenge -- but Hooptober takes priority. Films may be changed based on availability.
Last Hooptober, to my great shame, I was only able to get to 19 of my planned films. Life got in the way, as it does. Hopefully things will be a little more stable this year, but who knows.
As always, thank you…
