From Casper to Wednesday Addams Nothing says Halloween more than a Halloween movie marathon. So pop some candy corn, turn off the lights and see if you’re fave made CWU’s Must See Halloween Movie Count Down!

13. Beetle Juice

An absolute classic, whether you’re looking for a good laugh or a Winona Ryder movie, this is definitely one you can’t miss this time of year.

12. Ghost Busters (1984):

A classic you can watchi year round but is most relevant during Halloweek! You can watch the original or the revammped girl power with Kristen Wigg. I mean, who else ya gonna call?

11. Halloween (1978)

This 70’s horror film is sure to give you a good scare. In true Hollywood fashion, no matter how fast Jamie Lee Curtis runs, she’s still way more dramatic than necessary and the killer always prospers. 

10. Edward Scissor Hands

The pre-desperate housewife’s era, with a little twist. Spooky, and a great source for a hair do inspiration. Plus, its Johnny Depp and Winona (you know everyone loves Winona, or their lying).

9. Casper and Wendy

Intro Hilary duff 1998; The movie that makes you feel nostalgic about the struggle of having older siblings, and to always remind you to look both ways before crossing the street

8. It’s the great pumpkin Charlie Brown

No matter how old you are Charlie Brown will always be relevant. 

7. Carrie

Real life representation of going to prom on your period. Who doesn’t like the shit scared out of them.

6.The Addams Family

They’re creepy, and their cooky, mysterious so spooky and the greatest halloween family since their cameo on Scooby Doo.

5. Scream

Another damzel in distress runs more dramtically then necessary and you can’t look away. Courtney Cox makes a mess instead of cleaning it up, for once, if you didn’t get the “Friends” reverence you can’t sit with us. 

4. Corpse bride

Everyone loves Tim Burton and animated Johnny Depp, plus a dead woman who is just trying to keep her marriage together. A little song, a little dance and a lot of creepy.

3. The Nightmare Before Christmas

Jack and Sally, is all the reason you need. And a festive reminded that Chirstmas is just arounf the corner *heavy breathing*.

2. Halloween town

Scary monsters walking the hallways and a crazy grandma in a velvet dress, something we can all relate to. 

1. Hocus Pocus

 Sarah Jessica Parker. *Mic Drop*
