Halloween Movie Night

Okay guys, Halloween is my thing!  Seriously, I wait all year for this.  Get ready for lots of October-related ramblings.  I decided to compile a list of movies I typically like to watch to get into the Halloween spirit.  Also, I've been adding all kinds of rando movies to my collection.  I've discovered this store FYE (for your entertainment) that is basically a giant, Wal-Mart sized movie store!  I've found all kinds of older movies that I couldn't seem to collect anywhere else.  Okay, here's my list.

  • Hocus Pocus - my number one favorite Halloween movie
  • Clue
  • The Nightmare Before Christmas
  • Corpse Bride
  • Beetlejuice - Oh hey, this has a young Alec Baldwin in it!
  • The Sixth Sense - Remember how creepy this was when it first came out?  Also, I feel obligated to mention The Village, and Signs.
  • Bram Stoker's Dracula - an old classic that I still find extremely creepy
  • Dark Shadows - Johnny Depp as a vampire.  Lovely.  Also, a really weird movie.
  • Underworld - Vampires!
  • Hotel Transylvania - Adam Sandler and vampires
  • Batman Begins trilogy - because everything is better with Batman!  Besides, you can't get much creepier than Heath Ledger as the Joker.
  • Secret Window - more Johnny Depp
  • Warm Bodies
  • Harry Potter
  • I, Frankenstein - bad reviews, but somehow I still like it
  • Ghostbusters
  • Sleepy Hollow - Johnny Depp.  Again.  Must be the whole Tim Burton relationship.
  • The Mummy I and II
  • Alien - This movie literally gave me nightmares, but it's totally a classic.
  • Alice in Wonderland - a few years ago I was the Mad Hatter!  (um… Johnny Depp)
  • Bewitched - an adorable story about an awkward witch
  • Phantom of the Opera
  • Cabin in the Woods - another odd discovery with bad reviews, but I liked it.  A bit dark.
  • The Blair Witch Project - caught it on Netflix
  • Van Helsing - a pretty bad movie, but at least it has Hugh Jackman.
  • Beautiful Creatures - a $2 Black Friday item, a bit cheesy, but it involves witches
  • Beastly - another cheesy romance, but it's got Ashley Olson as a witch.  And maybe a Halloween party?
  • Something Wicked This Way Comes (Is that a real title?  Pretty sure that's the one.)
  • Under Wraps - a lame Disney movie about mummies, but I remember it from my childhood.

These are the movies I could think of.  Generally I'll kick off the Halloween season by watching scary movies all month long.  Not to mention a plethora of TV series' like Moonlight (vampires), Vampire Diaries (a little too much drama to be actual Halloween material), Once Upon a Time (especially the episodes with Frankenstein), Being Human (vampires, werewolves, and ghosts), The Walking Dead, and any Halloween special of Modern Family, or Friends.  Hooray!
