My first year participating in Hooptober! 31 films leading up to Halloween! I curated this list using the criteria listed below along with the added stipulation that they all had to be movies I've never seen before. Added an extra film to a category or two to hit the 31 mark. I added Trick or Treat just because I felt like it.
