This is my first year in a decade that I will be missing Exhumed Film's 24-hour Horrorthon and I am devastated about it. Easily my favorite event of the year, the thing I look forward to the most. I'll be attending The New Beverly's marathon which I'm sure will be fun, but it just won't be the same.

Hooptober is a yearly highlight and it will help ease the pain of missing my beloved marathon. Focusing on first-time watches only. Thanks to Cinemonster for continuing the tradition. Here's their list: letterboxd.com/cinemonster/list/hooptober-x-hooptober-hooptober-let-satan/
