Please enjoy my entry for Cinemonster's Hooptober Cinco: Your Terror is a Locked Room and I Have the Key!

This is my 3rd year doing Hoop-Tober and I couldn't be more excited! I completed the challenge the last two years, and Hoop-Tober remains the ONLY Letterboxd challenge that I've ever managed to complete within the timeframe. Let's hope I can keep this streak going!

Narrowing down my pre-game list and adding in flicks to meet the requirements is always a challenge in itself. The trickiest requirement for me to fulfill this year was the mix-n-match directors task, but Cronenberg is one of my favorite directors, so this will be a good opportunity to rewatch a couple of his that I haven't seen in a while. I also "stretched" the rules a bit and decided to also add in a movie by Brandon Cronenberg and a film written by Clive Barker.

The first 31 films in this list are my original picks. I'll add more to the bottom of the list throughout the month if I watch horror films not already represented here.

Requirements:
✓ 33 Total Films - (41/33)
✓ 10 "Anniversary" films - (11/10)
✓ 6 Countries - (11/6)
✓ 6 Decades - (8/6)
✓ 6 Films before 1970 - (7/6)
✓ 6 Films from the following: Romero, Cronenberg, Clive Barker, Terence Fisher, Sergio Martino, or Bill Lustig - (7/6)
✓ 2 flying things that kill you films - (2/2)
✓ 1 silent film (tribute to A Quiet Place) - (1/1)
✓ 1 aquatic menace film (tribute to The Meg) - (1/1)
✓ 2 women directed films - (3/2)
✓ 1 inanimate object comes alive film - (5/1)
✓ 1 film with Barbara Crampton - (1/1)
✓ 2 Tobe Hooper films - (2/2)
✓ 2 Extra Credit films - (2/2)
