My Favorite Disney Halloween Movies

This is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween.

My Favorite Disney Halloween Movies
Petiole

As soon as October hit as a kid, I knew the one thing that I looked forward to more than actually dressing up on the 31st was the movie marathon on Disney channel. I could finally curl up on my couch and watch some of my favorite movies like "Hocus Pocus" and have a legitimate reason to do so. We're adults now and we don't need to justify when we watch what we watch. But, for no other reason other than for nostalgia's sake, I did make a movie marathon list of my own of all of my favorite Disney Halloween movies. Prepare to have all of the feels, including the spooky ones.

"Halloweentown," "Halloweentown High," and "Return to Halloweentown"

It's just not Halloween without watching this trifecta movie heaven. I admit that the first time I saw these movies they scared me as much as I loved them. But after realizing that the "monsters" can be good guys and that they don't have to be scary, I was a converted Halloweentown fan. Also, I'm pretty sure every girl got to live their dreams of being a badass witch by watching Marnie's adventures.

"The Nightmare Before Christmas"

Tim Burton does it again with this beautifully and meticulously crafted film. The music alone is enough to haunt and enchant us once again, but there's so much more to love. We can all empathize with the need to be free like Sally or to make someone of ourselves like Jack, even when all of the odds are against us. And the brilliancy of it is we would never have expected to fall in love with a skeleton or a rag doll brought to life. You should also probably add "The Corpse Bride" and "Coraline" to your watch list if you love claymation.

"The Addams Family" and "Addams Family Values"

If I could only dress up as one character for the rest of my life it would have to be Morticia Addams. And if I had to choose one aesthetic for the rest of my life, it'd be this. You can't go wrong with this iconic movie game-changer.

"Twitches"

This movie definitely holds a special place in my heart. I can't even imagine my childhood without "Sister, Sister" and their other movie "Seventeen Again" (not the one with Zac Efron). Finding out I had an awesome and rich twin sister and somehow also awakening our dormant magical powers to defeat "The Darkness" and discovering we were actually royalty from a far-off kingdom was pretty much all I wanted as an 8-year-old.

"Hocus Pocus"

Last, but certainly not least, we have my personal Halloween movie favorite. I mean, what's not to love? You've got Sarah Jessica Parker playing a goofy, flirty witch. There's Zachary Biggs, a (surprisingly very cute) 17th-century boy trapped in the body a cat. And there's Bette Midler. Happy Halloween indeed!

You can find a couple of these on Netflix and Amazon Prime, but all of these will be airing on Disney Channel, AMC, Freeform (ABC/ABC Family), and Syfy. Check out the 2016 TV schedule for them here.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
