My list for HoopTober 10, 2023. These are all first time watches. Like last year, I'm not doing any overlapping categories - every category gets its own separate movie, so there's more than 31 films on this list. Additionally, since this is the 10th anniversary of Hooptober, I decided to do 10 countries instead of six (technically 11 since one is a coproduction between 2 countries). Just a little something special there. The perceptive among you might also notice that there's not a separate Amicus film in my list (I have The House that Dripped Blood as one of my Peter Cushing movies, but not for the Amicus category). That's because, besides The House that Dripped Blood, I've seen every Amicus film that I have access to, so I chose a film that was made in the style of an Amicus film: Channel 13. I figure that's good enough.

I finished choosing the movies early, but I won't start watching until October. Also I'm actually going to review all of these.
