I love Halloween! I love dressing up, carving pumpkins, eating candy corn and watching Halloween movies!! So with Halloween coming up, I thought I’d share some of my favorite movies to watch in preparation! 

My favorite Halloween themed movies to watch in October include…

Halloweentown: While they are not the best quality, I absolutely adore the Halloweentown movies! I think the movies are such a good way to get into the Halloween spirit!

Hocus Pocus: I mean who doesn’t like Hocus Pocus! I saw this movie for the first time about a year ago and I can’t believe it took me that long, I love it!!

Ghostbusters: Personally, I love the 2016 Ghostbusters with Melissa McCarthy! I think the casting is absolutely perfect and makes for a very comedic movie! Oh, and ghosts make for a great Halloween movie!

Spooky Buddies: Ok, going back to my childhood here. I used to watch this movie all the time! Clearly the dogs are the best part!

My favorite movies that aren’t really Halloween-themed but give me a very October and spooky feel include… 

Maleficent: This movie follows a villain but isn’t scary whatsoever. The tone of the movie is very dark so I associate it with the Halloween season!

Knives Out: This movie is set during the fall and it is a mystery so naturally, I associate it with October and Halloween!

Harry Potter: I always have Harry Potter marathons in October, it just makes sense!
