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 :)
I love Tim Burton films, especially Edward scissorhands and Beetlejuice!

Wooow Lauz get on it!!! haha x
DeleteI'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. :D
ReplyDeleteI also love Practical Magic. Sandra Bullock is flawless. <3

Im sure I've seen it on Netflix! But I can't believe you've never seen it :O !! Haha xx
DeleteGreat 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!!
