I crossed the finish line of last year's Hooptober Fest on Halloween Night having viewed a colorful assortment of 40 films in total. This year's list is longer, darker, stranger, but hopefully just as much fun to watch as last year!

This year's rules, from Cinemonster's Hooptober 5.0 list:
10 'Anniversary Films' (Release years end in an 8, excluding 2018)
6 different countries
6 different decades
6 films from before 1970
6 films from the following: Romero, Cronenberg, Clive Barker, Terence Fisher, Sergio Martino, William Lustig (mix-and-match, or all one)
2 flying things that kill you films
1 silent film as a tribute to A Quiet Place
1 aquatic menace film as a tribute to The Meg
2 films directed by women
1 "inanimate object comes alive" film
1 film with Barbara Crampton in it
And 2 Tobe Hooper Films (There must ALWAYS be a Hooper film)
FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO DO EXTRA WORK: WATCH TALES FROM THE HOOD AND TALES FROM THE HOOD 2, WHICH DROPS OCT 2

random details:
-I'll start on the Sept 15th early bird date
- I'm not using a single film to meet multiple list requirements, hence the longer list
- I may or may not get to Tales from the Hood 2 but I'll at least check out the first film!
- I've added three potential "flying things that kill you" movies since I'm not 100% sure how much flying is involved in the three I've picked. Surely two of 'em will meet this requirement
- I haven't seen any of these!

Alright, let's do this! Good luck to everyone else, Happy Halloween, and enjoy!
