Hey guys, so if you're anything like me and love spooky season you'll be excited that it's coming up for halloween soon! Me and James usually always go all out for halloween (we were actually supposed to be getting married this year on it but due to covid we can't anymore) and a big thing for us is always having spooky movies on. So I'd like to share with you my top 5 movies (in no particular order) to watch on halloween, some of these are spooky, some of these are family friendly. I will be including the IMDB synopsis, and I can't guarantee that there will not be spoilers so let's jump straight into it.
1: Hocus Pocus
"A curious youngster moves to Salem, where he struggles to fit in before awakening a trio of diabolical witches that were executed in the 17th century."
Okay so Hocus Pocus has been one of my all time favourite halloween movies since I was a child. I watch this movie every single year on halloween (or if I'm having a halloween party I either watch it the night before or get everyone to watch it with me at the party). It's just a great movie night end after watching a load of spooky movies to lift the mood!
2: Pet Semetary (1989)
"After tragedy strikes, a grieving father discovers an ancient burial ground behind his home with the power to raise the dead"
Stephen King's Pet Semetary is one of my favourite books so to be able to see it brought to life was amazing. I have yet to watch the new one (maybe by the time this is out I will have) but the original Pet Semetary was such a spooky movie for it's time. Gage Creed is still one of the creepiest children I have ever seen in a horror movie.
3: Gothika
"A depressed female psychiatrist wakes up as a patient in the asylum where she worked, with no memory of why she is there or what she has done."
I'd say Gothika is more of a thriller with spooky aspects than a horror but I absolutely adore this movie. If you want a good jump scare this has some really well placed ones within the movie. I love the storytelling and the character development, and honestly I'll watch anything is it has Halle Berry and Robert Downey Jr in it.
4: The Grudge 2
"Three interwoven stories about a terrible curse. A young woman encounters a malevolent supernatural force while searching for her missing sister in Tokyo; a mean high school prank goes horrible wrong; a woman with a deadly secret moves into a Chicago apartment building."
The grudge 2 was the first horror movie I'd ever seen and I was about 13 when I watched it. I still haven't watched the grudge 1 but this movie is an amazing horror film. I think the story behind it is really well put together and portrayed amazingly throughout this film.
5: The Nightmare Before Christmas
"Jack Skellington, king of halloween town, discovers Christmas town, but his attempts to bring Christmas to his home causes confusion."
So we all know about the nightmare before christmas and honestly I think this is just a beloved movie everywhere. Once again, I think this is a wonderful movie to watch after a load of horrors to bring the mood up and sing along to.
And those are my top 5 favourite movies to watch on halloween. What are your favourite movies to watch on halloween? Do you have a movie that you watch every year? Please let me know in the comments below!
As always, have a wonderful day.
Love, Lyndsay
