Round 3 of Hooptober, third time will definitely be the charm and I'll definitely finish all 34 movies. Probably. Lots of fun criteria this year, anything satanic or post-apocalyptic is totally my bag. I try to do first watches, but my girlfriend has been wanting to watch The Sentinel and People Under the Stairs, and Book of Blood looks like a terrible way to meet the Barker mark so Hellraiser is getting a rewatch. Might tweak a few things, but can't wait to get going on the 15th!

This list is currently in release date order but will be updated to viewing order as I go along. So if by November 1st it's looking rather chronological, well...
