Despite being 4 days tardy on this post, I thought with the start of the best month ever, I would compile a list of the GREATEST Halloween movies to watch.

I will make on that is kid appropriate, and one that we as Halloween loving adults can sit down to after the little ghouls have been tucked in for the night. I will name at least 31….just for anyone who loves watching them as much as me. Plus, you can always put on a movie while you are doing other ghostly deeds such as: pumpkin carving, making caramel apples, decorating, etc.

Movies for the family:

1. Hocus Pocus
2. Nightmare Before Christmas
3. Corpse Bride
4. Coraline
5. Under Wraps
6. Halloween Town (any or all of them. My kids love these ones.)
7. Gremlins
8. The Ghost And Mr. Chicken
9. Disney’s House of Villains
10. Goosebumps
11. Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School
12. Addams Family
13. Ernest Scared Stupid
14. The Adventures of Ichabod Crane
15. Casper
16. Monster House
17. E.T.
18. When Good Ghouls Go Bad
19. Haunted Mansion
20. Twilight Zone-Tower of Terror
21. Harry Potter

Movies for Those of Us Who No Longer Wet The Bed

1. Halloween (Obviously)
2. Psycho
3. Beetlejuice
4. Young Frankenstein
5. Friday the 13th
6. IT
7. Poltergeist
8. Sleepy Hollow
9. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
10. Carrie
11. The Mummy
12. The Shining
13. Ghostbusters
14. Dracula
15. Van Helsing

I’m just going to go ahead and stop myself there before this list gets too long. But you get the picture. These are typically the ones my family and I (or my husband and I) like to choose from.

If you can think of some great ones, I’d love to read your lists! Leave your favorites in the comments and I may just revise my own list.

Let the haunting month begin!
