Sorted chronologically (not ranked).

First, let me start with a big shoutout to HoopTober's Head Honcho Cinemonster for creating and curating this awesome event for five years now.

This is only my second HoopTober and just like Cinemonster I'd really like to have the time to watch and review all 31 horror films during October only, one every day, but because of work and just to make sure I make it, I'll also already start on September 15th (with "Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich" at the Fantasy Filmfest in Berlin, Germany).

If you'd like to join us for “HoopTober Cinco“, create your own list, following Cinemonster's rules, and post the link to YOUR list in the comments of his original posting "Hooptober Cinco: Your Terror is a Locked Room and I Have the Key".
You can read all participating reviews here!

2. Eggshells

- Review them all and tag your reviews with "HoopTober5.0", of course!

Clearly one film can satisfy multiple criteria. Viewing and reviewing will begin at 12:01am cst on Sept 15th.

***FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO DO EXTRA WORK: WATCH TALES FROM THE HOOD AND TALES FROM THE HOOD 2, WHICH DROPS OCT 2. YOU WILL RECEIVE A SHOUT OUT IN NEXT YEARS HOOP-TOBER. JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOUVE FINISHED ALL 33*** (Since I'm living in Germany and there's no planned release for TFTH2, I'm not sure if I'll be able to do this).

Most importantly though, have fun!
