Original list: letterboxd.com/cinemonster/list/hooptober-cinco-your-terror-is-a-locked-room/

This is my first time doing the Hooptober challenge. I've noticed reviews tagged with this name on most of my favorite horror films right away when I started my Letterboxd account a few months ago. Very excited to be a part of it this year and see how mad I will get when watching a horror film every day for a month!

Had loads of fun when making the list. I've seen only 3 of the films listed here before, but all of them are kind of fuzzy in my memory - Halloween, Phantasm and The Birds. I'm watching the first two along with some sequels (Halloween III was a high priority for this Halloween anyway, I've been hearing so much about it) and The Birds are being shown at my local cinema so with the "flying thngs that kill you" category, I just couldn't pass on that.
