Halloween has to be one of my favorite holidays. The candy, the fact that it is in my favorite season (Fall), dressing up in costumes, and of course, the movies. Halloween movies are some of the funniest, most creative films out there, and here are my top 10.
1. Halloween Town
If you don't like Halloween Town there is SERIOUSLY something wrong with you. Not only is the idea of it super original, but its just a great movie for the holiday. Witches and monsters and everything good about Halloween combined into one film.
2. Scary Godmother: Halloween Spooktacular
Scary Godmother is my favorite animated Halloween film. Of course we've all heard about Fairy Godmothers, like Cinderella's, but to have a Scary Godmother is probably a Halloween lovers dream! Where can I find mine?
3. Twitches
Twitches? Twin? Witches. TWITCHES. Tia and Tamera Mowry are the perfect duo for this film, and they knock it out of the park. The two join forces to defeat darkness and help their families. Who doesn't love darkness-fighting, strong, female movie leads?
4. Halloween Town High
Right before the dramatic actor change for the main character Marnie for the next movie, this is, in my opinion, the last great Halloween Town movie. It's the third in a fantastic line of movies, and a definite must see.
5. The Nightmare Before Christmas
There is the age old debate of when you're supposed to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas. Is it a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie? The answer is simple: Sandy Clause might have a large role in the movies plot, but the Pumpkin King is the star. Halloween is the way to go.
6. The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It
A Disney original movie, and another personal favorite. Emily Osment is the main character in this movie, but she's not the normal, peppy girl we remember from Hannah Montana. She takes on a different role in this scary/spoopy Halloween movie!
7. Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie
This honestly gave me nightmares when I was little, but the songs in it are so catchy its hard not to like, especially when it stars everyone's favorite, honey-loving bear, POOH!
Okay, now unlike all the other movies listed above, this is an actual scary movie, and not specifically for Halloween. However, a scary movie is a Halloween movie to me, so that's why Freddy Kruegar and Jason make the Top 10.
9. Mom's Got A Date With A Vampire
An oldie but a goodie. The kids in this movie set their mom up with a complete stranger in order to sneak out of the house. But who knew that this stranger was actually a vampire? Check it out!
10. Casper
A complete classic. The movie about the world's friendliest ghost is definitely one of my all time favorite movies, not just in my top 10 favorite Halloween movies.
I suggest that if you haven't seen all of these movies, you pop a bowl of popcorn or grab a candy apple and sit down for a great Halloween movie!
