I'd already decided I was going to watch one horror movie I hadn't seen for every day of October when I suddenly remembered that Hooptober was a thing. Crazy as it sounds, I've been reviewing movies on this site since 2019 and I'd never participated in Hooptober before, but now I get the gist of it and the planets aligned so I guess I'll lock it in for this year, 2023. I have a ton of horror movies I've yet to see, so this scavenger hunt should help me pare down my options and give me some direction to start knocking them off my watchlist.

Doing this on the fly with no real sense of strategy. I didn't build a list ahead of time, so I'll update it every day of October as I add my entries like some kind of Halloween advent calendar.
