Hooptober 5.0-Happy Horrordays!

What I love about Hooptober is that the rules force you to explore several different areas of the horror genre. I'm looking forward to revisiting the classics I love, seeing some horror essentials for the first time, watching some light-hearted comedy-horror to give relief from all the craziness, and, also, reveling in some good old fashioned schlock!

QUICK EASY RULES:

10 'Anniversary Films' (Release years end in an 8, excluding 2018)
6 countries
6 decades
6 films from before 1970
6 films from the following: Romero, Cronenberg, Clive Barker, Terence Fischer, Sergio Martino, Bill 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 Meg
2 women directed films
1 inanimate object comes alive film
1 film with Barbara Crampton in it.
