Welcome to Blogtober day 6… How has it almost been a week already! October is going so fast! For today’s post I thought I would update a post from last year and see if anything has changed! I will be honest I know the majority of these answers will be the same. However it will give you some ideas of what film you could watch during a Halloween inspired autumn cosy night. (There is a future post coming with some of my favourite things to do!)
So here we are my top 10 favourite halloween films:
Hocus Pocus
I put a spell on you… is one of my favourite scenes in the movie because it is just so catchy and who doesn’t love a good sing a long. That being said Hocus Pocus is just the ultimate go to for me when it comes to spooky season.
2. BeetleJuice
IT’S SHOWTIME! BeetleJuice is just a classic! It is one of my mums favourite films but also one I have come to love and have to watch leading up to Halloween.
3. Practical Magic
Practical Magic is just such a feel good movie and one I had never seen before until introduced to by my best friend. It is definitely a reason I love this movie but who doesn’t love a little madness and midnight margaritas.
4. Halloween Town
Who would want a witch as a grandma and to find out that you had hidden witchy powers. But lets be honest the bag is the star of the show here.
5. Labyrinth
David Bowie in Labyrinth is literally everything. Always a must watch and one of my all time favourite films… It is one that I very much try and get everyone to watch.
6. The Addams Family
I apologise in advance if you now have the theme stuck in your head (I know. I do.) Who does not love a little of family strangeness with The Addams family.
7. Casper
A film I still every time I watch it find myself crying just a little! Another family favourite.
8. The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Okay so I am not sure I would class it as a Halloween Film however Google told me it was and hey any excuse to mention the film. Also my obsession with Tim Curry in this film is concerning. That being said it is one of my favourite films and brings back such great memories from my first year at uni!
9. The Haunted Mansion
Listen it stars Eddie Murphy this is all I really need to say. It was also one I had not watched in years until last year during a movie night with my best friend. It made for an interesting watch to say the least.
10. Hotel Transylvania
Again not specifically a Halloween film but it is a family favourite and I promise you will be walking round with “I don’t say Bleh, Bleh, Bleh” stuck in your head all day
As you can probably tell I am not a huge fan of Horror films so I will tend to stick to the more magical and family friendly films around this time of the year. I however can promise you that I will have watched at minimum all of these during the countdown to Halloween!
What are some of your favourite Halloween Films? let me know in the comments!
Ooh! Like you, I’m not a horror fan but I don’t think I’ve seen any of these. Coming from someone else not a horror fan makes me feel like they’ll be safe, so will definitely be giving them a go. Can’t believe I’ve never seen Casper, that definitely needs rectifying!
I enjoy mildly scary movies around Halloween too. Love all those you mention. There’s a few Disney ones. It’s not specifically Halloween, but since it’s about witches, have you seen Twitches? or the Descendants?
Hocus Pocus is my ultimate Halloween movie, I watch it every year 😂. Haunted Mansion is a throwback I had nearly forgotten all about, I’m going to need to rewatch it this year! Loving this list 🎃
I have so much love for Casper!
And The Haunted Mansion is one of my all time favorite rides at Disney, the movie is just as good!
