My Favorite 🎃 Halloween Movies
The 20 movies below are some of my favories in this genre. Whenever this season or mood arrives, items from this list are my go-to comfort food. To qualify, a movie must be solidly in-genre and be highly rated (or purposefully bad). Either way, these are the cream of their respective crop. Please let me know if you'd like to nominate an addition!

Coco
Such an emotional movie. The music was great and the art and culture was such a joy. The story was good and really makes you care about the characters
Hocus Pocus
Still holds up, is cute tnough. Some bits age funny and there's definitely a 90's bullying vibe, but it's some light fun.
Spirited Away
Scarier than I remembered, but a very charming story throughout.
Sleepy Hollow
Suitably Halloween-y. Great cast, decent plot, lots of beheadings.
Werewolf by Night
Atmospheric, fun, tense in the right ways. A good watch.
The Addams Family
Weird and dramatic, but charming. Good spooky movie.
Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island
Characters were more grating than I remember, story is a little doofy, but it is a good watch
Zombieland
Very stylized. Breakneck pace that could have used a little more breathing room. Pretty cute and a bit touching
Freaky
Honestly great! Pretty gory, but fun about it. Swapped actors did a great job.
Ready or Not
Absolute delight. Gross, tense, exciting, game-related. The works.
The Babysitter
Light and stupid, but a fun take on a slasher movie. Writing felt like the weak point, but it was weirdly charming.
