The Ultimate Power Ranking Of Disney Channel Halloween Movies

We all know Disney Channel Original Movies are some of the best movies to exist. Here's the ranking of the best and most yearly anticipated DCOM Halloween Movies.

13. Tower of Terror

While it’s not actually a DCOM, its too good to not include on this list. This movie is based off of every thrill speaker’s favorite Disney ride and definitely lives up to the hype. The movie has it all, mystery, ghosts, curses, this movie had us sleeping with the lights on and avoiding hotels and elevators for moths after October.

12. The Little Vampire

This is another non DCOM and wasn't even made for tv but it was constantly on during the month of October. It was hard not to fall in love with little Jonathan Lipnicki playing the lead and with the movie taking place in Scotland.

11. Return To Halloweentown

While the Halloweentown franchise was one of the most successful and includes the movies we look forward to watching the most, this is easily the least favorite of the four movies. Besides the fact that Kimberly J. Brown was recast in the final installment, it just doesn't live up to the rest of the movies.

10. Twitches Too

Kind of like Halloweentown, the second installment of Twitches just wasn't as good. The movies focuses on the sisters learning to use their powers, and there’s nothing totally exciting or scary about this movie at all.

9. Phantom Of The Megaplex

It seems like this movie is constantly overlooked and forgotten about, but its actually really good, in a cheesy type of way. While its not very scary, the mystery makes up for it. And being loosely based off of a hit Broadway musical really helps.

8. Halloweentown High

Another installment of the Halloweentown franchise. Probably could have been higher up on the list if it had actually taken place in Halloweentown. The real world is vastly overrated. But like its cool that the two worlds can come together at the end.

7. Now You See It...

While this may not be a halloween movie, all the magic involved makes it perfect for the month of October. We cheered for poor, misunderstood Danny, a wanted to be Alyson Michalka. The movie definitely had us on the edge of our beds waiting to see what was going to happen.

6. Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge

Almost as good as the original, but still not the original. But lets be honest, the stakes were high in this one and our young interests were peaked. The state of Halloween town was in marines hands. Thats a lot of pressure for a teenager.

5. Don't Look Under The Bed

This movie was actually amazing, and scary. Amazingly scary. If you weren't afraid of the Boogie man after watching this, props to you. I think what makes this movie so good is that it was made for Disney Channel. Who knew that Disney could make such a dark and terrifying movie for kids.

4. Moms Got A Date With A Vampire

Im not exactly sure what made this movie so amazing, but I know we all checked the movie line-up to know exactly when this would be on so we wouldn't miss it. This movie was funny. The kids wanted to get out of being grounded so badly they set their mom up on a date that may potentially kill her. But at least they’d never be grounded again, right?

3. Twitches

Everyone loved watching our favorite set of twins basically revamp their tv show only in the form of a movie, and with magical powers. The darkness wasn't that scary, and the movie wasn't necessarily that funny, but how can you not love a movie with the Mowry twins. It became a DCOM classic.

2. Hocus Pocus

Hocus Pocus is an absolute Halloween classic. And although it was aired often of Disney Channel, it was not a DCOM, but it definitely became a cult classic. But none the less, the Sanderson sisters take a top place in our hearts and a top spot on our list. Is it really halloween if you haven't sung “I Put A Spell On You”?

1. Halloweentown

Of curse this is number one on the list. The first installment of this amazing franchise. Where we fell in love with Marnie, her grandma, Halloweentown and Halloween DCOMS. This movie included absolutely everything you need for a successful halloween movie.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
