Oh my god oh my god oh my GODDDDD it's my favorite time of the year HOOPTOBER is BACK i have a reason to live oh my god oh my god yes let's do this.

For the fifth year in a row, I will of course be doing this parallel to my pal Chris, so check out his list. There will inevitably be overlap, always exciting.

And hopefully this year, I can continue the trend of actually completing the challenge. The last two years were a success, this year I have no reason to falter.

Finally, I must relay my gratitude and love to the maestro of Hooptober, Cinemonster. Without you, my Halloween season would be infinitely duller, my friend. Thank you for organizing this year after year. I owe you my life.
