10 Fun Halloween Movies

29th October 2014

It’s that wonderful time of year again; when the leaves are falling, the rain is pouring, and we’re all inside watching movies by the fire. I especially like that it’s getting dark so early now here in the UK. There’s nothing I love more than cosy Autumn/Wintery nights.

 

Now as much as I am a huge fan of horror movies and a scare fest every so often (John Carpenters Halloween will forever be my fave!), I think it’s nice to make time for the other movies that seem perfect for around Halloween too. As long as it’s related to the spooky or the magical, you get all the Halloween fun without the scares. Lovely for anyone a bit timid!

 

So here’s my list of top ten fun Halloween movies 🙂 !

 


Hocus Pocus


Sabrina The Teenage Witch


Edward Scissorhands

The Addams Family


Harry Potter


Corpse Bride


Practical Magic


Beetlejuice

Scream

The Nightmare Before Christmas

 

 

Now, the only one I was a bit unsure to include was Scream, as it does get a bit gory. But I definitely wouldn’t class the Scream films as horror, they aren’t scary to me. They have jumpy moments sure, but I love them for basically being a bit thriller-y and still having a good story (in my opinion!). Definitely not appropriate for children, but if you are an adult and you can get past the blood and stabbing, you’ll be fine!

I hope you all have a wonderful week, and a fantastic Halloween! I know I will 🙂

  3. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and yes! (Only 7 yes's 'cause I've never seen Practical Magic and Beetlejuice and am not the biggest Scream fan).

    I think Nightmare Before Christmas and the Addams Family are definitely on the viewing list for Friday!

  8. I've always loved Hocus Pocus as I have two sisters and I'm called Sara. I always thought I was Sarah, my older sister grew up belting out a lot of Bette Midler songs so she was obvs Winifred and my lil sister was left with Mary. I also had a black cat, though he was called Muffin. I always wished I had named him Thackery instead. 😀

    I also love Practical Magic. Sandra Bullock is flawless. <3

  11. Great post! I've been getting my Halloween dvds ready, there's some I just have to watch every year and they feature on your list too! Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow (anything Tim Burton really….) Addams Family is also a must. While I do love scary or gory films, I don't usually watch them at Halloween, I tend to go for the family friendly stuff despite it being just me!!
