You may never have noticed, but autumn is like Hollywood’s own Chinese New Year. With the cool breeze and falling leaves comes the influx of the year’s shining frontrunners of fortune just in time for award season. Thus, with the fall weather comes the quintessential binge watching of age-old favorites, the cozying up on a Friday night to watch Disney’s Halloweentown, and midnight escapades to see the newly-released horror film.
If you are looking for the best way to get in the autumn spirit, here is a list of movies that you can expect to be coming to a theater near you this season.
