I don't know about you, but watching Halloween themed movies and shows has always been my favorite thing to do in October. So here are some scary-good films and shows to get you in the Halloween spirit!
1. American Horror Story
American Horror Story is not only freaky - it's also freaky good. The cast is stupendous, and what makes them even greater is the fact that each season, the actors have to take up a totally different role (which is extremely challenging). The plots are also intriguing and they hook you at the end of each episode - hence, it's binge-worthy. Currently there are 4 seasons on Netflix, and they all have great reviews according to Rotten Tomatoes:
2. Bob's Burgers Halloween Episodes
If you are one for strange humor or cheesy puns, then you should definitely check Bob's Burgers out.... or if you're already a fan, then you should just watch these two episodes again! I promise you, they will make you feel the Halloween spirit!
Season 3, Episode 2: Full Bars. The kids go to the rich neighborhood to go trick-or-treating, in the hopes of full bars, while Bob and Linda go to a party that turns into a murder mystery.
Season 4, Episode 2: Fort Night. A crazed little girl traps the kids in their fort on Halloween because Louise refuses to be her friend.
3. The Nightmare Before Christmas
This is a classic that was beautifully animated and created by Tim Burton. If you have never seen it, please make a point to watch it this Halloween! And everyone hail to the pumpkin king!
4. The Omen
People commit suicide for this little boy, and scary things keep happening when he's around. Could the American Ambassador be raising the anti-christ? You'll just have to find out for yourself!
5. Friends Halloween Episode
Need some laughs and some costume ideas for this Halloween? Well, The One With The Halloween Party is the obvious choice!
Season 8, Episode 6: The One With The Halloween Party. Chandler and Monica decide to throw a Halloween party. Phoebe's evil twin sister, Ursula shows up and starts stirring up some drama, while Rachel attempts to win over children by handing out money when they run out of candy.
6. The Corpse Bride
Another Tim Burton Halloween classic, filled with music, creative characters and a sweet yet, complex romance. Also, Johnny Depp is the main character's voice, so you know it's going to be good.
7. Sleepy Hollow
Johnny Depp's dashing good looks aren't the only thing that make this movie great. The film takes a spin on a timeless Halloween tale by infusing it with and even creepier plot, along with remarkable cinematography.
8. Parks and Rec Halloween Episode
What's more fun than Parks and Rec and Halloween? Nothing. So go and watch these Halloween specials!
Season 2, Episode 7: Greg Pikitis. Leslie tries to stop the evil Greg Pikitis - the high school kid that successfully manages to vandalize the park every Halloween, despite Leslie's valiant efforts to stop him. Also, Ann's Halloween party is a bore until Tom brings the party to the party.

9. The Babadook
