With Halloween around the corner, it is only a matter of time before our televisions are overflowing with spooky classics. Since there are loads of Halloween movies out there to enjoy, it can get to be a little overwhelming to pick your flick. To help you along, we’ve compiled a list of our all-time favorite Halloween films, whether you’re into witches or ghosts.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
This cult classic, which originally came out as a musical, is about a couple that finds themselves asking for the help of a crazy scientist after their car breaks down. Aside from the odd events taking place, this film is a much watch for the costumes, star cast, and soundtrack alone.
Practical Magic
Practical Magic tells the story of two sisters (portrayed by none other than Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman), who, other than their heredity gift for magic, have nothing in common. After moving in with their aunts, they begin using their powers to fix their love lives.
Hocus Pocus
More witches? Of course! Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker are brought back to life after three centuries. And this September we will be graced with the release of Hocus Pocus 2!
Ghostbusters
Before there was a 2016 version of “Ghostbusters,” there was the hilarious 1984 classic. Starring Sigourney Weaver, Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd, the film tells how a group of professors turned ghost removers.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
This animated Halloween masterpiece was made by none other than Tim Burton. The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown's beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the "real world."
