Get ready to buy your costumes, eat loads of candy, and listen to Michael Jackson’s Thriller on full blast. Why? Because Halloween is right around the corner, and you better be ready.
There are many things you can do to prepare for this holiday, but the ultimate way to get in the spirit is to sit yourself down with a bag of popcorn and have a Halloween movie marathon. Whether you’re binge watching alone or with company, here are the seven best Halloween movies I suggest watching this spooky season.
1. Hocus Pocus
It’s not Halloween without the Sanderson Sisters. This 90’s Disney movie is a family favorite that will have you on your feet singing the classic “I Put A Spell On You”. These wacky witches don’t disappoint, so tune in for a not-so-scary film.
2. Casper
Take a break from Paranormal Activity and The Conjuring and watch a ghost movie that doesn’t give you nightmares. Casper is a heartwarming movie that will make you want a GBF (ghost best friend).
3. The Nightmare Before Christmas
All hail the Pumpkin King, the one and only Jack Skellington. This popular Halloween movie will also leave you feeling excited for Christmas, which is ironic yet amazing.
4. Addams Family
“They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky, they’re all together ooky, the Addams Family”. That pretty much sums up this not so average family. With a dark and twisted background and strange characters like the Thing, you can expect the unexpected.
5. Halloweentown
Ah, throwback to when Disney Channel was still thriving. This movie is a fan favorite and reminds of us of the good old Disney days. So if you’re feeling sentimental, watch this for a walk down memory lane.
6. Ghostbusters
Who ya gonna call if you need an awesome Halloween movie to watch? Ghostbusters! Whether you decide to watch the classic 1984 version or the new 2016 version, you’re in for a treat either way!
7. Halloween
If you’re not into the other family friendly Halloween movies and you want a real scare, this is the one for you. The suspense and the music make for a terrifying movie experience that will leave you paranoid to go outside.
Overall, these 7 Halloween movies are all great options to watch if you need to get pumped up for the holiday. Personally, I love watching these every October, and I can say they never get old.
Anyways, I hope everyone has a safe and spooky holiday, and Happy Halloween!
