I normally do not like scary movies but during Halloween, I tend to watch them! Here are my top 5 favorite Halloween movies:

  1. Hocus Pocus

This movie is a family friendly comedy about three Salem witched resurrected just in time for Halloween. 

9/10. Would definitely recommend to someone looking to watch a family comedy movie.

2. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

A true classic movie any family can enjoy! 

10/10. Would recommend to anyone wanting to watch a classic movie. 

3. Halloweentown

Halloweentown follows a young witch torn between her normal life and her grandmother’s home in an enchanted place where it is always Halloween. 

8/10. Would recommend to someone looking for a funny family friendly movie. 

4. The Nightmare Before Christmas

This film follows the King of Halloween, and he kidnaps Santa Clause and tries to bring Christmas under his control. 

10/10. Would definitely recommend this silly Halloween movie and not to mention but the songs are great too! 

5. Carrie 

Carrie is a classic cult movie that needs to be watched around Halloween! A truly scary movie!

8/10. Would recommend to someone wanting to watch a scary cult movie.
