The lucky ones died in the blast! Time for the greatest event of the year with thrilling scares and nightmares to complete 34 films. I am participating in my 10th HoopTober and the 7th with a bonus, yes sir, it's Hooptober X - made possible by CINEMONSTER, give a big shout out to the man; hail to the king, baby!

This year I've selected some goodies with lots of obscure, oldies, and new titles to celebrate October with some more horror.

For those curious, the list contained 14% watched (5 of 34) movies.
