Classic Halloween movies are an essential part of the holiday season, don’t you think? I mean, every year, when it is near Halloween, I find myself watching a Halloween movie every night. Perhaps that is just because Halloween is my favorite holiday? Whether you’re looking for family-friendly films or something a bit scarier, here are 10 classic Halloween movies that you might want to watch every year:
1. Hocus Pocus (1993) – A family-friendly favorite, I just watched this move, actually … this film follows three witches who are resurrected on Halloween night.
2. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) – This animated Tim Burton classic combines the worlds of Halloween and Christmas, making it a perfect choice for the entire holiday season.
3. Beetlejuice (1988) – This darkly comedic film follows a recently deceased couple as they hire a “bio-exorcist” to remove the living from their home.
4. The Addams Family (1991) – This quirky and spooky family has been a Halloween favorite for generations. Speaking of Addams Family, I know this is a blog bout movies, but the Addams Family show called Wednesday Adams is a really good show to watch, regardless of the time of year it is. I recommend giving that a chance if you haven’t already.
5. The Shining (1980) – For a scarier option, definitely a step up from Addams Family, lol, Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel is a classic haunted house story with incredible performances.
6. Psycho (1960) – Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece is a psychological thriller that’s perfect for setting a spooky atmosphere.
7. Ghostbusters (1984) – This comedy-horror classic is a lighthearted take on the supernatural, making it a great choice for Halloween.
8. The Exorcist (1973) – If you’re looking for a truly terrifying experience, this iconic possession horror film is a must-watch.
9. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) – Join Freddy Krueger in your dreams in this classic slasher film that’s sure to give you chills. This is a fun movie to watch, regardless of the time of year it is, but it is perfect for Halloween time.
10. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) – This beloved animated classic is perfect for the whole family and captures the essence of Halloween. This is a movie I remember watching as a child, every year. If you have children, you may want to let them watch this every year, together, as a family, too.
These films offer a range of Halloween experiences, from fun and family-friendly to downright terrifying. You can mix and match them to suit your mood and the preferences of your audience. Enjoy your annual Halloween movie marathon!
