My personal Top 5!
Hocus Pocus
I would be out of line if I didn't put this fan favorite. I sincerely hope you all have seen this one if not, GO WATCH IT!! This movie is about three witches who are brought back to life by accident. They need the souls of children to keep them looking young, so they set out to try and find as many as possible. Max and his younger sister decide to put a stop to this, since they did accidentally bring them back to life by lighting the magical candle. If this doesn't make you want to watch it, let me also mention there is a talking cat!
The Craft
This movie isn't as uplifting as others, but still has a good plot. A girl named Sarah moves to a new city and begins going to a Catholic Prep School. She gets attention from a group of girls who practice witch craft. One of the girls notices something about Sarah and thinks that she has powers. They befriend her and they begin to practice the craft together. They feel that if they are together, they are unstoppable and their dreams will definitely come true now. But will the power be too much, and will someone want to be leader at the end? Jealousy and greed might get the best of them.
Casper
Universal PicturesThis is a kid-friendly, wholesome movie. Casper, the friendly ghost, is a slave to his three uncle ghosts. All he wants is for someone to bond with. That isn't an easy thing to do, when you live in a haunted mansion and of course you are a ghost. Then, an afterlife therapist and his daughter move into the haunted mansion. Casper and Kat are spooked by each other at first, but eventually grow close. How could it possibly work out? Maybe Casper will get his happily ever after, or just a glimpse of it.
The Addams family
I can't even type the title and not hum the theme song. The Addams Family is about an eccentric family who live in a massive mansion. Then all of a sudden, two con artists come up with a plan to get them out of the house for good. They hire an accomplice to pretend to be a relative of the Addams. Everyone learns a lesson on what family means and what it means to care for one another, no matter the cost.
