If you are anything like me and my little fam...you have all been glued to ABC Family 13 Days of Halloween. True story. And I'm not going to lie...the movies that we watched as kids are better now!! I love a good scary movie! Although the flicks on ABC Family are very family friendly (they cut a few things out of Beetlejuice I noticed ) We have also been tuning into AMC Fright Fest after the kiddoes go to bed! So a question arose in my every turning mind...if I had to choose my top 10 scary and maybe not so scary Halloween movies...what would they be?? So I wracked my brain and thought of my list...
10. Paranormal Activity- To this day I cannot watch this movie alone. I don't know if it is the fact that it is shot like a home video or what but this flick seriously is an eye coverer!!
9. Practical Magic- I sometimes wish I was a witch. OK all the time. It would be the most awesome thing. And to have witch sister too? We would take over the world! Hee hee! But seriously although not one of the scarier ones this one is a must see once the cold weather hits!!
8. Addam's Family Values- Sometimes a sequel cant hold up to the original but this one stands its ground. I am a sucker for both and the love that Gomez and Morticia share. I am secretly jealous of them.
7. The Craft- My first year not going out with my brothers and sisters trick or treating, my Mom rented The Craft and we dipped apples in caramel! Yes...I am old enough to have lived though video rentals! This movie is the epitome of the mid 90's. I love the clothes, mini backpacks and Skeet Ulrich!! This one is on the depressive creeper side but always brings me back!!
6. The Nightmare Before Christmas- I recently found out that this one is 20 years old! couldn't believe my ears! I love this one so much and am so glad that my littles love it too! It fills my heart with joy to hear "this is Halloween" over and over and over again from Ryder!! Some may think of this as a Christmas movie but it will always be marked as Halloween for me!
5. Poltergeist- Two words..."They're heeerrreee....." That is all.
4. Halloween- The original. The one that scares the beejeezes out of me. The one when I watch it I cant even look out of my kitchen window because I think I will see Michael Myers watching me from behind my sheets hanging up to dry on the line outside. I have had nightmares for 21 years now because of this wretched movie. But I still watch it every year! Because I am a crazy person.
3. Beetlejuice- The Ghost with the most...and admit it...you wanted Lydia's red wedding dress and spiky hair!!
2. The Addam's Family- The First. And the best. This movie is so great it almost topped my list. I love the family dynamic and the fact that they are so true to themselves but mostly... this movie is hilarious!
1. Hocus Pocus- AND the winner is.....Of course!! Once you see this movie on TV you know that the holiday swing is full on! Sarah Jessica Parker is one of my favorites and I want the book!! This movie is what Halloween time is all about!
So that is our list!! What does yours look like????
