Halloweentown was a movie that I watched as a kid and it just brings back the nostalgia and love I have for Halloween. I need to watch this movie every year or it's simply not Halloween! Make sure you check out all the Halloweentown movies and let me...
Halloweentown
A true staple in my childhood - this is another movie I need to watch at least once during spooky season. I personally wasn't a fan of Hocus Pocus 2, but the first one will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Hocus Pocus
I was obsessed with this movie growing up! It's a well created movie with a solid storyline in my opinion. There's also a Twitches 2 if you like the first one!
Twitches Movie
This CREEPY movie is about a possessed doll that causes some wild issues for this family. Based on a TRUE STORY - this movie low key gave me nightmares but it was a really good movie… Just give yourself time to watch an episode of Family Guy or somet...
Annabelle
My first ever scary movie! This movie is wild and kind of disturbing at times… Have you seen it?!
Jennifer's Body
Absolutely SPOOKY! This movie made me sweat, it's so good! This is another movie that you'll want to buffer with anything that's not scary before you go to bed! - they also made a second one that's really good too!
The Nun
There are a few Conjuring movies and they are creepy… It's based on a true story which makes it even worse (or better, depending on your stance lol). These movies are the reason I will never play with a ouiji board!
The Conjuring
There are a few Purge movies out now, but the original is my favorite. In this movie, all crime is legal for 24 hours and MAN things get crazy!
The Purge
An absolute CLASSIC! This creepy movie is about a couple who faces some really strange things after taking a ride to the store… They really did a great job creating this movie.
Beetlejuice
This movie is pretty spooky - especially for kids, but I really enjoyed it. I watched it for the first time lasy year, but it's perfect for spooky season! I need a whole month to watch all my favorite Halloween movies!
Coraline
A perfect mix of funny and spooky. This movie is in the same style as Nightmare before Christmas and Coraline. Some people don't like the animation style, but I honestly love this movie and feel it's worth a watch!
Corpse Bride
Some may argue this is a Christmas movie, but look at them! This movie is honestly perfect in the way it kind of transitions you from Halloween to Christmas. Have you seen it?!
The Nightmare Before Christmas
I just watched this movie for the first time last year and it was pretty good! Creepy for sure, but it's also kind of funny because.. I mean, look at that bunny costume!
Donnie Darko
I love this movie!! It's a Halloween staple for sure. I can hear the mausoleum song just by thinking about this movie - If you know, you know! lol
Haunted Mansion
I used to be low key scared of this movie when I was little, but it really is a good movie! Have you seen it?!
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Omg this movie freaked me out when I was little, but I love it! A perfect spooky season movie honestly.
Monster House Movie
If you haven't seen the Harry Potter movies, you're doing yourself a disservice. My grandma took me to see all these movies in theaters as they came out so I always think of her when I watch these movies. - It's definitely a commitment because there'...
Harry Potter
These goofy movies crack me up! I won't give spoilers so, I'll just say you need to watch it to understand lol

Casper
Good ole Twilight definitely helps set the spooky vibe!
The Twilight Saga
The real Scooby Doo movie in my mind. I hold this movie in a special place in my heart. My old babysitter and I would argue over who would date the cute DJ boy (he's significantly less attractive now that I've aged a bit lmao) but this movie is amazi...
Scooby-Doo
Yep, this movie spooked me! I liked the story but this was another movie that made me sweat low key hahaha
