Spooky season is right around the corner! In this post you’ll find my favorite movies that really get me in the Halloween Spirit. Make sure you watch all my must see Halloween movies before October is over!
Must Watch Halloween Movies
Halloween
First on the list is one of my all time favorites, Halloween. Although I love the entire franchise, I will say my favorite movies are the original Halloween made in 1978 and the Halloween made in 2007. These movies have the perfect amount of fear factor while still having a good plot. The Halloween movies are less about guts and gore and more about suspense and revenge, which I believe to be more entertaining. But be warned, these movies are not for the faint of heart.
Halloweentown
Next on the list are the Halloweentown Movies. Just like with the Halloween movies, I love all of the Halloweentown movies, but the first one is by far my favorite. These movies are family friendly, but still have a great plot and just enough fright to keep anyone entertained. These movies are for sure high up on my must watch Halloween movies.
Hocus Pocus
I think most people can agree that Hocus Pocus is one of the top must watch Halloween movies. Similar to Halloweentown, Hocus Pocus is a family friendly movie but has even more fright! This is a classic Halloween movie with witches, black cats and magic!
Monster house
Monster house is one of my absolute favorite Halloween movies. For an animated movie they really capture the fear and adventure that comes with being a kid on Halloween. This movie has such a great storyline and enough thrill to keep you on the edge of your seat!
Coraline
Another great animated Halloween movie is Coraline (no not caroline iykyk). Although this movie is animated and marketed for a younger crowd, it is not for the faint of heart. This is one of my favorite movies because it will keep you on the edge of your seat while hiding behind your blanket. Absolutely a Halloween must-see movie.
Twitches
This movie will take you back to y2k in the best way possible. Twitches is about two teenage witches who were separated at birth, but finally meet and work together to defeat a dark magic. This is such a classic Halloween movie, but has such a fun early 2000’s spin!
The Haunted Mansion
The Haunted Mansion is such an underrated Halloween movie, but it is so good! It has everything from ghosts to crystal balls and everything in between. This movie has a great mix of comedy and action wrapped into a love story. If you have never seen this movie I would highly recommend!
The Twilight Saga
Although the Twilight Saga is not specifically Halloween movies, there is something about these movies that always put me in the Halloween mood. It could be the vampires and werewolves or just the town of Forks, Washington in the background, but these movies are must watches. But the real mystery? Are you team Edward or team Jacob?
Harry Potter
Like the Twilight Saga, these are not specifically Halloween movies, but they do a great job of setting the mood. With the fall and winter scenes, and not to mention all the wizards and magic, I think these movies are must watch Halloween movies. I also highly suggest watching these in order!
That’s All!
Now you know my must watch Halloween movies! I really believe there is no better way to get into the Halloween spirt than to watch these movies and enjoy some falls treats. Looking for something a little more spooky though? check out my favorite scary movies to really give yourself a fright!
