Post plot hooks here. Mostly some side-adventures because derailing the entire campaign is bad.
PCs enter the monstrous mushroom kingdom.

A powerful organization's hitmen ambushed you because the guy(s) who wronged them looked exactly like one (or more) of the PC's due to a coincidence/shapeshifter/identity theft, you have to convince them it wasn't you/escape certain death and find the real guy.

Saw:
A wizard has been abducting people and placing them into puzzles to escape. Do the PCs rescue the latest captive or fall into a trap themselves?
E.T.:
A celestial has fallen to earth and lost it's powers. It's god will surely reward you if you manage to deliver the fallen angel to the temple the next town over. However, evil cultists seek to abduct the angel for their own nefarious deeds.
A Quiet Place:
The party is stalked by creatures that hunt only by sound. Does the Paladin remove his plate armor to improve his stealth checks?
The Bride of Frankenstein:
The party hears that several graves have been defiled. Upon investigation, they learn a necromancer is attempting to create a wife for his favorite zombie. Is he a weirdo playing house or is he attempting to play god with his undead Adam and Eve?
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari:
The party is hired to find a killer. The twist? Villagers are murdering each other, but all claim they were controlled by dark magic during the act. Can the party kill an innocent villager who is being mind-controlled to attack them? Can the party find the puppetmaster who is compelling these people to murder? And to what end?
The Jungle Book:
The party is being led through the woods by a ranger. The ranger begins to notice the tracks of not a beast, but a child. Suddenly, a savage boy appears. He doesn't speak common. He also bears the birthmark of the royal family. Does the party return him to the city so he can grow into a rightful king, or do they allow him to reign over the forest? (Beware his animal companions!)
Free Solo:
A monk stands at the base of a gigantic mountain. He believes if he can climb to the top, he will reach enlightenment. However, Harpies attack any who venture up the mountain, trolls live at the treeline, and they say the Aarakocra at the summit only allow the pure of heart to pass.

I find that taking a high-level, high-fantasy magic item (or even a common one like a bag of holding) and transplanting it into a low-fantasy setting or imagining what peasants would do with it leads to some very interesting hooks.

I pretty much did 18 once. And despite the ancient lich-ish thing making a point of calling the party's martial artist out while vaguely implying knowledge of her mysterious past, and promoters promising guaranteed prize money win or lose, the party never bit. I was a little disappointed.

An untouchable crime boss has a massive safe door in his office wall. No one's ever tried for it, fearing retribution more than the difficulty of getting in. Better still if he hires the party for one unrelated job, so you can show rather than tell.
