Stop Everything And Watch These 20 Halloween Movies
Sanderson Sisters

With Halloween right around the corner, it's time to break out the decorations and get spooky! All the candy, costumes and creepiness is so much fun! But besides all of the fun Halloween activities, one of my favorite parts of Halloween is watching movies. I've never been a scary-movie type of person, because I've always hated the pop-ups, blood, guts, and gore type of stuff.

However, I put together a small list of movies that have always been my favorite to watch near Halloween. Check them out!

A shy groom accidentally says the right vows to the wrong woman, who happens to be dead.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school.
